College Basketball Season 2024-2025

[GoMuskies]

I thought the Athletic was a serious publication, but I guess they just don't understand college basketball? Kind of disappointing. Here is how they described Creighton's win over KU last night: "Unranked Creighton steamrolled No. 1 Kansas 76-63, about as big of a surprise as regular-season hoops can offer."

What?!? It was an upset, sure, but Creighton was a 3.5 point underdog. I'm guessing there were 4 or 5 bigger upsets in college basketball last night alone.

Just lazy as hell, and whoever wrote it just saw the #1 by Kansas’ name. Typical baloney.

I mean just Tuesday night you had two bigger upsets by spread in the big East alone. Providence beat byu by almost twenty and they were 6 point dogs and nova smacked uc around like a little bitch and they were 4 point dogs.

Kalkbrenner is a far better player than Dickinson, but he's not 100%. He's moving like he's got a hernia.

Winning a true road game in college basketball is hard. It's much harder than what most people realize. It's statistically much less likely to happen than it is in football, and I'd bet for most other sports as well. NIT teams will beat top 25 teams at home more than half the time. Perhaps the margin of Creighton's win was a little surprising, especially given on how limp they had looked in their previous games, but the fact that they won wasn't surprising. Perhaps it wasn't PROJECTED, but it was hardly a SURPRISE. A surprise is when it's 38 degrees on Memorial Day. It's something that no one sees happening.

Fair Point. I had not realized that. We are dogs, which I can't say im surprised with the play lately. TCU is not good. If X loses, its not the end of the world, but it'd not be a good loss.

Yeah, I guess neutral court losses to both Santa Clara and Colorado State would not qualify as "good."

Pop Isaacs out for rest of the year. Tough break for Creighton.

Tough break for the big east but still might be better than us.

C'mon Ville, UC and BYU don't move the needle nearly as much as perennial #1 Kansas getting beat. just about anytime Kansas or Duke lose it's a big deal. The spead is a big deal for gamblers, but the casual fan just sees the name and knows it's an upset if Kansas loses.

Somewhere out in Bluejay Land, their equivalent of Drudy is saying "no excuses"
