@nuleafjhawk honestly the whole men’s game has an offensive execution problem. There have been mostly stinkers in the tournament
-
@nuleafjhawk Not sure I catch your drift on ISU
-
Maybe I misunderstood. Were we talking football or basketball? I was thinking basketball so “Super Bowl” didn’t click with me.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I have a theory that nobody wants to hear or would agree with.
-
@FarmerJayhawk said in Other bball games:
@wissox and it’s a great double header! UConn USC isn’t getting near the buzz but also has two of the best players in America
3, Aliyah Edwards is also in that class.
-
@nuleafjhawk Basketball. ISU basketball fans were tweeting after they lost that the reason is since they’re now the gods of the Big 12 it’s like every teams super bowl when they’re playing them!
-
@FarmerJayhawk NCAA scoring is way up. Offfensive execution seems to be in a better place. 8 teams averaged over 90 a game, none last year. 44 made it over 80 a game compared to 18 last year.
Apparently refs decided to call much less charging than in the past so maybe execution didn’t improve?
-
@wissox that’s my point. To me, it would make more sense to say they were everyone’s NCAA Championship game.
I guess Super Bowl flows a little better…
-
@wissox possibly! I also might just watch too much Big 12
-
@FarmerJayhawk watching! Also watching hutch juco on espnu playing for 1st, undefeated.
-
@nuleafjhawk It’s kind of a common saying in sports. It means we get everyones best shot. Funny that ISU thinks they’re that team now.
-
@wissox lol
-
Why is JuJu Watkins player of the year and not Clark?
-
@wissox because people are stupid
-
@nuleafjhawk She was runner up I just read. Could have sworn they said she was the NPOY.
-
@wissox should have been.
-
I saw juju play against KU, good but not Caitlin Clark good!
-
@nuleafjhawk lol
-
Caitlin won the Naismith
-
This thread has so many subthreads going on that following any particular one is like trying to watch a single ant in an ant farm!
-
We were just visiting! By the way, never saw an ending like the HCC gals, true miracle!
-
This game rules
-
Iowa got some Vegas whistles…
-
@AsadZ If you watch the one video on twitter the people point to it looks like it was a bad call. A different angle clearly shows the UCONN player move right into her path.
-
@wissox clearly a foul.
-
Iowa vs South Carolina is the script everyone wanted?
-
@approxinfinity every one but Iowa fans
-
@approxinfinity Yes, for sure Vegas
-
@wissox Refs were inconsistent, they let them play whole game and made that call that was so close and ended up deciding outcome.
-
@AsadZ I didn’t watch the whole game and when you really don’t care who wins you lose your outrage factor over calls being made!
-
I know it’s kind of a first world problem but not putting these games on network TV is just stupid. The women will be on network TV
-
@wissox What games are you talking about? The season ended weeks ago…
-
@wissox do u have to have cable to get March madness app?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Last year I subscribed to Sling for a month to get the tourney channels. That was because I used Fubo, which carries no Turner stations. This year I dropped Fubo and have subscription to YouTube TV, which carries everything in the tourney. So cable not necessary if you want to stream instead.
-
I have cable, so I have everything. I could watch some with the app at school. No sound.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I have cable so it’s not a problem for me, but I just don’t get the logic behind it.
-
@wissox Money, not logic. At least from the fan’s point of view.
Just like the Chiefs/Dolphins wild card game on Peacock. This year, the wildcard channel paying > $100 million is Amazon Prime, I think.
-
@mayjay You’re kidding, money? That’s the answer? Hmmmm, imagine that.
-
Anyone watching the Royals/White Sox? Scintillating!
-
@wissox all this complain8ng and you get it?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I’m an advocate for the cableless!
-
@wissox I generally root for the underdogs hence UConn women on this one.
I have great respect for what Clark has done but I also think she has been blown out of proportion by media when it comes to advocacy for women.
I think there are several other women athletes who are doing great work in this regard but don’t get the same recognition. I think I know the reason.

I always find it interesting when the reason for everything is what I have comparatively nothing of. And yes, I did made that sentence not very good. (Limited to 1.5 glasses of Scotch tonight or my posts would be even funner!)
-
Hard to believe the Badgers beat that team 3 weeks ago. Purdue has only lost to Big 10 teams this season. Not sure if that means anything but here they are awaiting UCONN.
-
Sad world we live in when i am rooting for Alabama
-
@approxinfinity yuuup. Oats is a scum bag but Hurley is dook adjacent which is way worse
-
Boy the difference in just the fluidness of these teams Alabama & U Conn compared to Ku this year is night and day. The way they et up and down the floor, no big slow bodies clogging up the middle, their spacing , their passing just fluid good basketball
-
@jayballer67
so smooth. Everyone knows where everyone is supposed to be
-
I read a nice article unfortunately I don’t have a link for y’all. It was an interview with Hurley asking him how he still gets max out of his players when most transfer when asked to be accountable. He said he is coaching harder and holding guys to much higher standard with their NIL package. Said basically they are getting good money to be playing there and if they don’t go hard they can leave. Really hope Bill gets back to that, I feel he’s been a little soft the last 2 years.
-
Oh wow Bama gets within 1 again and UConn gets another bailout call
