2025-2026 College Basketball General Discussion

Purdue with an 12-point lead in the BTT title game with 10 minutes to go. This is why you want to play a team that's defensive-oriented later in the conference tournament, as defense tends to fall off after playing multiple games in succession. Teams that have more offensive than defensive strength definitely tend to do better as conference tournaments progress.

Akron down 12 at

Yale should fouled up 3 there was only 6 seconds left when they inbounded the ball and Power had just hit a 3 pointer and had 37 pts at that time. A really huge mistake to let him pull for 3 when he just hit one a few seconds ago.

It been great had that 70 footer went in for Yale. Hate to see a team like Yale knocked out they would been a solid 12 seed team that could have competed I really don't think Penn has any chance since they will be a lot lower seed like a 14 or 15.
Yeah, but to be fair it's gotten harder with the rule change to foul up 3, because now if a guy is able to gather before the foul, he can reactively chuck it up and get 3 free throws. So now to be able to foul up 3 successfully, you have to know the opponent will be unable to gather the ball before the contact. In other words, if a player with the ball knows the defender is coming for the foul, it can be risky to foul up 3.

Miami (OH) Redhawks (Basketball Official Thread)

11 seed is a great spot.. not as great as 12 which is likely where the Zips land... 12-5 matchups have been THE major upset match historically..

The entire MAC tourney was wicked... every team played well.. every game was hard fought... and decided last minute.. impressive

Ravi Bellamkonda, tOSU President

Surprise. Surprise. Surprise. An internal hire hasn't happened at tOSU, well if you except Gorden Gee, who seems to always be lurking around. Don't understand much of his credentials, but after reading the above posters, seem acceptable to me. Being elevated from the #2 to the Big Chair, well that says something. Always thought the #2 handled the athletic portion of tOSU, until a picture or handshake is needed. As an MBA that earned that sheepskin when the program was rated in top 25, would really like to see tOSU flex some muscle and elevate it's programs into being top recognizable programs in the nation. Not entirely certain how that can occur, given the undergraduate rules we live under. PS, having gone to Miami U as undergrad, freshman class was limited to dorm space, as Oxford was/is tiny. C'bus, has plenty of apartment opportunities, let alone a huge number of fraternities/sororities with living space. Just a bon mot. Maybe this cat can make that happen, we'll see. Or, maybe he'll be content to guide this ship, making no waves.
What undergrad rules are affecting the business school? We have a 50% rejection rate for our freshman classes and the 12th highest median SAT score in the country among publics.

And as @Steve19 can attest, I've been critical of Fisher underperforming for years given their lavish resources, but I believe that both undergrad and MBA are ranked in the top 25 in USNWR.

Ivy League Championship game GREAT. Penn's Power hit 2 clutch 3s (he's got 40 & 12) to tie the game with 1 second left in regulation. Yale's full-court heave went off the back iron, off by an inch. Going to OT.

Yale had a 2-point lead with 10 seconds to go, they got a defensive rebound, had no turnovers, committed no fouls, made 4 of 4 FTs, and lost in OT.

They needed to foul when they were up 3, without letting Power shoot another 3.

Penn with the upset and wins back-to-back games in OT to secure their bid to the dance. Power finishes with 44 points and 14 rebounds - went 9-9 from the FT line (didn't even touch the rim) as a 61% FT shooter.

Heartbreak for Yale, who would have gotten the automatic bid under the Ivy League's old way of deciding it as regular season champs.

Another Sayin in Columbus: Aidan Sayin Excited to Play Quarterback for UFL’s Aviators While Watching Brother Julian Excel at Ohio State​

161885_h.jpeg


Julian won’t be the only Sayin playing quarterback in Columbus this year.

Aidan Sayin, the older brother of Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin, signed last month with the Columbus Aviators, the UFL team that will play its inaugural season in Ohio’s capital city this spring. Having made “countless” trips to Columbus over the past two years to see his brother, the elder Sayin is thrilled to have the opportunity to play in the 614.

“I love the city, whether that's in the winter with the snow or in the summer playing pickleball. I've had a great time there, and the fans and the environment around football is second to none,” Aidan Sayin told Eleven Warriors in an interview this week. “So I'm excited for what the fans can bring to the Aviators this season.”

“We really want to be in complete control of what our offense is doing, knowing what we're doing, what the other team's doing, and how we can put ourselves in the best position possible each and every play to succeed.”– Aidan Sayin on how he and his brother Julian play quarterback
