    ***2023-24 Mens College Basketball Thread***

    "#11" South Carolina had a somewhat bad week. Lost by 40 at Auburn. Lost at home to LSU, after blowing a 16-point second-half lead.

    ***2023-24 Mens College Basketball Thread***

    UConn's 81-53 win over Marquette is largest margin of victory for an AP top-5 in-conference matchup. AP Poll began 75 years ago.

    UVa shot 1-of-11 from the line, too!

    ***2023-24 Mens College Basketball Thread***

    Probably still OK - SIU loss was its first Quad 2 loss, NET was top 30 ... but it's definitely moving in the wrong direction. Projected in the 9-seed range a week or so ago, now it's closer to 11 line. That's a place you don't want to be in a one-bid conference (margin for error much more scant).

    I figured OU would win that. Obviously I was wrong. :)

    On a side note, I hadn't paid close attention to Settles in previous broadcasts, but was a bit more tuned-in for today's game. He's knowledgable and provided solid analysis. Knows nooks-and-crannies/details of Big 12 and each team equally today (including specifics about the players). Hate to...

    In-season bracket reveal is today. But it airs about midway through first half of ISU's game, so I'll probably just check results after-the-fact. I'm superstitious about the reveal. Seems like each time ISU has been in the Reveal 16, we lose the game that day. (Might have been an exception...

    He's in love with the word "fraudulent."

    Could this team become the best team in Cyclone MBB History?

    Agree for sure ISU's Big 12 00-01 compared to 99-00 was weaker (and the overall SOS). B12 performed HORRIBLY in the '01 tournament ... (2) ISU, (4) OU and (6) Texas bounced in R64. (4) KU was only team to advance to Sweet 16 ... and it's possible each of those teams was seeded a line too high...

    “No Alternative” (Various artists, 1993) This is the third release of an ongoing compilation discography from Red Hot Organization, dedicated to raising awareness for AIDS relief. Some artists wrote songs specifically for the compilation, some were unreleased tracks that would appear later, a...

    2023-2024 MBB computer projections thread

    The Bilas ranking is OK, to a large extent. The main thing I don't like about his 1-to-68 is he got it in his head several years ago that the tournament should select only top 68 at-large, with no auto-bids ... Perhaps that's "how it should be," but it ignores the point/spirit of D-1's...

    Could this team become the best team in Cyclone MBB History?

    00-01 does get an unfair knock due to the early tournament exit. Also, though, it lost a 1v8 in the conference tournament. Those overshadow accomplishment of Big 12 regular season title. That tends to get lost in the mix, and it's not easy to do regardless of season/conference strength. Even...

    As @rosshm16 noted, Minnesota up at half at Purdue, 43-35. Purdue entered the game 13-0 vs. Q2-3-4. This could be a Quad 3 loss.

    “If I Were a Carpenter” (1994) This isn’t beginning-the-end classic, but it was novel at the time of release. Artists mostly in the alt/indie/up-and-comers covering what you’d think would have been considered “unhip” '70s soft-rock in the mid-‘90s. All the participants show a true affection...

    "Famous Original Hits By 25 Great Country Music Artists" (1965) Nostalgia indulgence … I've never been a major C&W follower, but this was part of my parents' music collection and was my intro to the genre (beyond what I happened to hear on the radio when I was riding w/ Dad in the pickup). I...
