2020-2021 College Basketball Discussion (Official Thread)

Ohio probably turned the NCAA down. I think that we are pretty close to having the same number of facilities with similar capacities.
I would say it is irrelevant that Indiana has Lucas Oil Stadium this season. That is the main advantage to Indiana over Ohio. The NCAA has previously made a large capacity indoor stadium a requirement for scheduling the Final Four. Maybe they didn't want to change the rule regardless of whether tens of thousands of fans can show up. But more likely is the NCAA is based in Indianapolis so they felt most comfortable there or had other connections.

Indianapolis was already due to host the Final 4 so this made sense the whole time. Plus the NCAA and many teams are very experienced with the logistics here. Credit to this city, if they do one thing well it’s host large events. It was basically built for this.

I now have 2 tournament sites within a mile and another 2 just 4-5 miles away. Sweet for me (if by some miracle I’m able to attend).

MSU now getting their doors blown off by minny.

I called out the Foster Loyer problem earlier, but Watts, Henry and Langford are black holes on offense as well. Trasfer shooter from Marquette can’t play D (or shoot). And they have no bigs. Not sure how this team improves. They’re just bad.
And now MSU puts together their best game of the year to beat Rutgers.

Still not buying them. I take it more as one of those games where it clicked for them and didn’t click for Rutgers.
