Basketball on all the sports channels

[HuskerOC]

Love college basketball, and my team has never won an NCAA tournament game.

Can anybody tell me what it is like?

My Huskers are tipping off the 1st game at our new Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln. Fucking pure awesomeness if I do say so myself. One of the best venues in college hoops now. (Seriously, no joke).

They are playing Florida Gulf Coast. You know them from last year's Dunk City tourney run in beating Georgetown and San Diego State all the way to last year's Sweet 16.

New coach in Tim Miles bringing some serious fan support. Looking for an NCAA tourney bid this year. Low brow for many, high brow for our starter kits.

Is Nebraska doing the all white boy lineup again?

Sounds like a successful strategy...

It works decently well for Wisconsin every year.

Awesome.

Nah... we got some decent players here and there. Might even win a Big 10 game or 2.

15,000 seat arena has been sold out for the season. For a team that was below .500 last year, that has to be somewhat impressive. We are Kentucky football, yet we are basketball.

Is Nebraska doing the all white boy lineup again?

Nope, not one white player has played for Nebraska today.

You should get better playing in the B1G. We may not be a great football conference of late but we have some damn good round ball players.

No doubt.

Huge upgrade in hoops. Big 12 was Kansas and..........................

Big 10 is the shit right now in college hoops. We are just looking to compete, and get better. And at some point in time we'd like to really compete on a week in and week out basis. We know that is at least 3 or 4 years away, if not more.

Just turned on BTN, that arena is really really nice.

I love it! Football and basketball are tied for my favorite sports to watch.

Oh and the badgers got a nice win over St. John's tonight.

Man I hate basketball these days. It was my main sport in school too. Just can't stand the current crop of fuckwads playing anymore.


I do still love March madness but thats about all I'll tune in.

absolutely agree. you said it well. I too played it my whole life, still do from time to time, even coach the game. But I cant stand watching the product anymore.

Watched it, wasn't even close.

NIT, baby! I mean maybe ...

 

[Arizona_Sting]

College Basketball deserves more respect. Not surprised to see fans of shitty basketball schools hating on it though...

 

[JahiiCarson_SqodGeneral]

I love college basketball wtf..............

 

[The Derski]

Its just a fad to hate on basketball nowadays. Kinda like the whole country music/lifestyle thing took off. Fads run their course and fade eventually.
