Leaving the ACC for the BigTen was a great idea because traditional rivalries don’t matter in college basketball.

I'm convinced this thread is a way for OP to harvest blackmail material from us.

Im a west coast person who doesn’t care about ACC or duke but for some reason I was already excited to watch duke v Maryland matchups. I was really surprised when they gave that up.

I enjoy watching Wyoming's offense because I love watching the Point Guard and the Center each attempt 15 post hooks a game!

Amen

Chris Beard is my favorite coach

As a Tech fan, I think I’ll be naming my firstborn tortilla Chris Beard

Oof

I really think the NCAA Tournament should be expanded to 96 teams.

Why stop there?

NC State athletics is a constant source of joy in my life and better for my health than any medicine. After a long stressful day at work it's nice to come home and turn on an NC State basketball game to relax.

lol

Pat Ewing is gonna be a HoF coach when it’s all said and done

Best I can do is a HoFer who coaches.

This is finally the year that Fran gets Iowa to have some success in March.

That’s funny

"I truly believe Coach K deserved a year long farewell and it wasn't just to stoke his huge ego"

Me, as I read it:

Haha, I do actually believe this one 🫣🫣

"No, I don't miss the old Big East"

Don’t make me get the feels on a Tuesday morning please

Jim Boeheim is a god and an upstanding citizen. And is definitely not a whiner.

And a good driver

Nor a nosepicker

Grayson Allen is my favorite player of all time. The way he has Captivated me with his Locked in defense, the way he TIES up people to put them in jumpball situations they cannot Escape from. My hands are tied when is comes to this guy. I want to exercise Constraint, though he is good, but he is no Houdini. I also like Jason Kidd, naps on my couch from time to time.

Blink twice if your ok

I used to be most embarrassed by Grayson Allen. Then Kyrie was like "hold my beer"

"We've got to bring back Archie"

You forgot to hire assistant coach Crean

BRING BACK BILLY GILLISPIE

I wish my parents raised me as a Tennessee fan.

Maybe they can form a search party to physically hand you disownment papers

Bruce Pearl, hell of a guy

Louisville being an ACC team makes complete sense considering that the city is only 481~ miles from the Atlantic ocean!

And birds with teeth actually make sense!

Maybe Tennessee isn’t that bad after all.

Their football team is doing very well. Reported my grandpa and uncle got drunk watching the home game against Alabama. lol

Tony Bennett's pack line defense is outmoded in today's game.

Fuck VPI

Kyrie is a great role model and I’m glad he went to Duke

Is this a cry for help

I love Christian Laetner

That is beyond a cry for help, thats asking to be put in a straightjacket and locked in solitary

Ohhh…that’s a good one😂

Said nobody but his Mom

I don't think the Jayhawks would've won the natty the year the tournament got shut down.

Missouri will make the final four at some point.

I’m ok with the outcome of the NCAA final in 2008, Kansas was clearly the better team.

I miss UH basketball before Kelvin Sampson

We have led very different lives 😅

Tom Izzo is a basketball genius.

Matt Doherty is the greatest coach that Carolina has ever had. Both an effective courtside presence and nice person.

You could have just said Matt Doherty is the greatest and left it at that. We'd have all known something was wrong, friend or not lol

Mark Turgeon leaving set Maryland’s program back 10 years.

Kyle Guy wasn’t fouled

Nice

I’m really gonna miss Coach K.

"Bob Knight was a tremendous molder of men."

I see nothing wrong here

He was the best coach in the history of the Big 10

He really was, sometime you can still his his hand prints on them. Usually around the neck.

I respect Mike Woodson and Quinn Buckner more than any two guys to ever touch the court at Indiana and they love him. I hate the guy. It’s a very weird dynamic for the fan base for sure.

Go Big Oran….actually….never mind….I’ll just stay kidnapped

I really wish Billy Clyde was still around...

Columbia is the best ivy team

Yes

Juwan hits like a girl

John Groce was the best Illinois coach and it was a mistake to fire him.

"Bruce Pearl did nothing wrong and I don't understand why we can't just get over it."

Shaka Smart wasn’t that bad in March

The reverse of my favorite hot take:

Our first couple of seasons in the AAC were actually pretty good.Never admitting any good times in AAC

Kentucky is only scheduling true road games next year.

Mike Krzyzewski is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life. And he's never taught flopping.

Or tripping

“UNC’s basketball team is truly the finest example of academic integrity in all of college basketball”

The B1G needs more fans like the Illinois fan base.

Illinois could be considered a toxic fan base if PSU and OSU football, MSU basketball, and Maryland everything didn’t exist.

Big 10 fans are always right about gonzaga. Especially the ones that show up after football season ends

Oof this one is right in the money. A missing persons report would be filed within the hour.

I love Duke basketball...

You know, Kentucky fans really aren’t all that toxic. I think I actually respect them a little bit. #BBN

You may be my brother from another mother

Hey now hog bro. All of BBN was pulling for you all in the west in football for the first half the year. And this is how you repay us?!?!?!

NC State is the superior basketball program in the State of North Carolina.

I really hope the Big Ten gets another 9 bids this season, because the one thing the tourney really needs more of is 15-13 teams with losing conference records.

I'm glad the IARP are taking their time and very carefully looking over everything.

Brady Heslip was heavily overrated and just okay.

I really think LaVall just needed one more year.

WCC is a power conference and gonzaga should stay

Loading up on freshman 5 star one and dones is the best way to build a program

Brad Brownell deserves another extension

Offense comes first.

Hello Everyone! Love Purdue & archie Miller Even though one is a rival and the other tanked our program.

Michigan deserved to win the 2021 Big Ten Title.

If only Trey Burke had not fouled that guy...

I think Tennessee has a legitimate shot at the National Title.

“I really think March should be renamed “Izzo””

Travis Steele really helped Xavier progress after Mack

Lebron is the GOAT!

Mid majors should have their own March madness so power conference teams don’t get embarrassed by being upset by them.

The best defense is a good offense.

I believe that the Wisconsin and UVA basketball systems make for entertaining and well paced games that are enjoyable to watch.

I love Duke basketball.

The NIT is the superior postseason tournament anyway.

I appreciate the fair and balanced officiating when we play Kentucky

Anything along the lines of Arkansas gets the benefit of the doubt on calls from the officials in all sports. Also, Muss isn’t that great of a recruiter.

I appreciate the fair and consistent officiating when anyone plays anyone*

Considering I got rid of all social media and my Reddit is anonymous, I am screwed.

It’s time to fire Tony Bennett, UVA basketball is boring & ultimately unsuccessful (with one notable exception). If we played & recruited more like the larger Blue Bloods, everyone would be much happier!

I’ve actually seen people say this. So maybe, “Tony Bennett is not a handsome man” or “Brogdon sucks, SEND HELP in the form of sharpshooter Evan Nolte”.

the jordan poole shot is the greatest shot in march madness history

https://youtu.be/tW40nGymykI

Missouri is a wonderful place filled with bright, shining people — and those Tigers sure are great too!

Missouri made the right decision leaving for the SEC and have had all the success to show for it.

“Can’t wait for football season!” (Auburn)

I wish we had Sean Miller back. His teams always knew how to respond to a zone defense. His March games vs Wisconsin are fond memories to look back at. Also, Sabatino Chen definitely didn’t get his game ending shot off in 2013 and the Refs made an absolutely fair call.

I think the wnba is better than the nba

I think this is finally the year where IU developes their talent and creates a team good enough to beat Purdue

"It's perfectly fine for P6 schools to schedule soft outside of conference, since their tough conference schedules should more than make up the difference. Who cares about those irrelevant mid-majors anyway? Those conferences suck."

But it’s all about the amateur “student” athlete.

“I sure hope Gonzaga wins it all this year”

Missouri deserves to finally make a final four someday.

Coach Beard is a decent guy I guess

Larry Bird was a tad bit overrated.

Go longhorns!

The athletes getting paid really ruined college sports.

Michigan definitely deserved the regular season big ten championship in 2021

Louisville are the 2013 National Champions

"I got the call to buy season tickets at the Kennel, but I don't even want them."

“Gonzaga should just switch conferences already—how hard would that be?”

“Gonzaga should just switch conferences already—how hard would that be?”

Hail Coastal

I respect Fran McCaffery.

"Marty's taking us all the way this year!"

The Denver Nuggets are awesome 😳

Trent Frazier was a flop recruit and a disappointment. And I didn’t mind the three game losing streak to Missouri.

BYU looks pretty good this year. I hope they win it all

I would only talk about SOS and how I need HELP to determine which SOS is the strongest.

"Montrezl Harrell was overrated & we should have foreited more"

Memphis should stay in the aac even if they get asked to join a better conference.

Virginia didn’t double dribble.

Xavier rules

Tennessee Orange is my new favorite color.

USC has a bright future in college basketball

I love Duke.

Jim Boeheim has got to be considered coach of the year. God I love a good zone defense! I don’t even care that he is always picking his nose.

I hope duke has continued success for the rest of my life.

I think Kris Jenkins shot was actually after the buzzer

Wow, Providence is such a great basketball program!

This is the year we finally beat San Diego State

You know Bruce Pearl doesn’t really get me that excited. He’s way too low key for me.

I really hope Georgetown and UConn have great seasons.

LeBron James is going back to The Miami Heat to coach.

BYU will win March Madness

Virginia basketball is the most fun thing to watch. Games that look like they were played before the shot clock era really get my hoops juices flowing

“I think Coach Cal had a legitimate reason not to continue the series between IU and UK.”

Chris Beard, not mark adams was the reason for Techs success

I love John Calipari and what he does for basketball. Greatest coach of all time!

Norfolk State should have won the national championship

I really wish UC would win a few crosstown games. A rivalry is only good when both teams win evenly.

Ty Jerome double dribbled.

John Beilein was a horrible coach for our team

Illinois is an elite basketball program.

All in all, there’s nothing necessarily wrong with attending ASU

Zion Williamson made the right choice in falling for Coach K’s “come become part of the brotherhood” gimmick instead of blazing a trail at Clemson.

The NBA is way better than this college crap and the 2006 Finals wasn't fixed.

Learning about Robbie Hummel's second ACL tear didn't make me weep like a 4 year old girl.

I enjoy the new additions to the Big 12.

He was a great kid, rest in peace gm💙❤️

The Hogs look to be down this year, we just can't get any kind of enthusiasm out of our coach.

I would like to camp out with the Cameron Crazies and snag some tickets. It’s a bucket list thing
