2020-2021 College Basketball Discussion (Official Thread)

[ScriptOhio]

Teams will descend upon Indianapolis soon, and when they arrive they'll be greeted by packages that are a bit like what bowl games give players in college football. The players have certainly earned it after a long, arduous season amid COVID-19.

Here's a look at the package each player will receive, via CBS Sports' Matt Norlander.



Not bad. The book on former Georgetown coach John Thompson is a particularly nice touch, because players, coaches and other staffers won't have much to do when they're effectively isolated in their hotels.

College basketball needs to go to the NBA 3 point line. The court needs more space and less congestion. Everybody already shoots 3 feet behind the line already. They also need to go the Elam ending and change the foul/free throw set up. There's too many games where a team is on the bonus with 10 minutes left.

Hero ball 3 down by 1

Hero ball 3 down by 1

0:08 LSU Timeout
0:04 Trendon Watford missed Three Point Jumper.
0:04 Aundre Hyatt Offensive Rebound.
0:01 Aundre Hyatt missed Layup.
0:01 Darius Days Offensive Rebound.
0:00 End of Game

Might not have been the specific play that was called; however, the inbounds pass was almost over and back, and the clock was ticking down. Watford is LSU's "go to guy" and putting it up at :04 gives LSU a second chance tip in opportunity if he misses (which they missed too):

Juggalos getting blown out by Houston, down 35 late.

New sticky thread for tournament discussion.

Let the record reflect that this season the B1G teams had the 14 toughest schedules in the country per KenPom. That's almost comical.

Penn State hired a coach.

I think that's a pretty good hire for PSU.

The only knock on him might be that he has never been a head coach before. Regardless, he has paid his dues coming up through the ranks and deserves a chance. He's got a lot of connections/ties in Indiana (Indianapolis HS, Hanover College, Wabash, DePauw, IU South Bend, Butler, and Purdue twice, etc.); he might have been a good hire for the Hoosiers too. It will be interesting to see if he gets any of the top recruits out of Indiana for Penn State.....

Penn State hired a coach.

I wonder if they asked him how he will like getting his ass kicked by Ohio State every basketball season

One college's trash is another's treasure

Amazing finish as the Washburn Ichabods down Northwest Missouri. Dude could take this shot 100 times and miss 99 of them.

Hey, look at that. A team down under 3 seconds at least gave themselves a shot instead of aimlessly heaving an incomplete pass down the court.

Sweet (lucky) shot.
