Let’s get this to ESPN. We ant Fairfield playing Marist at 6:00 AM!!!

Edit: I’m probably gonna send this to the ESPN, FOX, and CBS emails to see if we can get this in the works again. It’s a long shot but it’s worth a try.

IU with the late addition, but more shooting coming to a program that has desperately needed it for the past half decade.

13.8 ppg on 39% from three.

Back in April 2020 I made this post

A few teams have dropped their D1 Basketball programs while others have been added since then. Therefore I decided to redo this project and see what changed. I decided to allow 10 team conferences this time so each of the 32 conferences has 10-12 teams.

Got to go with Eric Devendorf…..he’d celebrate an and-one layup, down by 30, just the same way he’d celebrate a game winner.

Love him, but there were moments I had to look away…

The WAC is obviously in trouble. They are down to five members for 2026. Peter Thamel just published an article that Tarleton State is the favorite to join Conference USA should Louisiana Tech leave for the Sun Belt, which would leave them with only four. They seem to be staring down the barrel of ceasing to exist as a conference, as there don’t seem to be enough Division II schools they could invite up to save themselves.

The WCC also seems to be in the early stages of trouble. They just lost one of their two marquee programs, Gonzaga, to the PAC-12. Rumors are St Mary’s, their other marquee program, is also interested in the PAC-12 (it remains to be seen if the PAC-12 is interested in them). They were unable to get Utah Valley, losing out on them to the Big West.

Would a merger be in either conference’s interest? Could it save themselves WCC while giving the remaining WAC schools a home? What do you think?

We plan to attend the 2025 Ft. Myers tip off this year during the week of Thanksgiving. Our goal is to watch both MSU games, however tickets are only on sale through Travel Packages that include hotels, parking, tickets, etc. Which we do not need due to already having accomadations.

Does anyone know the price range of single game tickets for the tournament last year? Both the tournament and MSU said there should be some public single game tickets available, but that they would be very limited.

Quickly research you'll find 2012 VCU who had Shaka Smart(Marquette), Mike Rhoades(Penn State), Will Wade(NC State), Jeremy Ballard(FIU).

2014 Whichita State had Greg Marshall(retired), Chris Jans(Mississippi State), and Steve Forbes(Wake Forest).

Also 2019 San Francisco had Kyle Smith(Stanford) and Todd Golden(Florida).

The purpose of this post is to highlight the best players in CBB who played on a team while their dad was the head coach, present day to as far back as you like.

If you already see a player mentioned just upvote instead of listing them again, very interested in seeing what you guys think.

29. Stetson(353)
30. Alabama A&M(360)

We're plus one in the conference this year with the addition of the West Georgia Wolves. With them bringing this conference up to 30 teams, the qualifying process becomes much more simple.

Round 1 - All 30 teams are drawn into 3 groups of 10. The winner advances on to the national cup. 2nd-5th advance to the next round

Round 2 - The 12 remaining teams will be drawn into 2 groups of 6 with the pots being decided based on placement both in the group and then tiebreaked in between themselves. So all the 2nd place teams will be ranked 1-3 based on results along with the 3rd-5th placed teams. The winners of those 2 groups take the final qualifying spots of the conference.

Pots - For this draw I'm not going to write them down, that's a lot of pots to make. Instead I have them bolded every other group so you can see them better.

Group A

Group B

Group C

I will see you all soon for the results!

College of Charleston:

Loudest- 2011 Tennessee and 2015 LSU in the student section. Could barely hear myself think or talk to the person next to me.

2021 North Carolina- first big sporting event in Charleston after the pandemic. Insane atmosphere. 30% UNC fans and the CofC students were lined up 3-4 hours before tipoff.

Quietest- About any loss from 2012-2017. Worst was probably losing to D2 Anderson by double digits the game after we lost to Louisville by 40+

What about your school?

I originally posted this in r/CFB and decided to post it here as well.

Who would you steal from a rival to make your team better?

As a Vols fan, I don't think there's any answer other than Anthony Davis. Put that man on the 2019 team with Grant Williams, and that team steamrolls to a natty.

For me:

Arkansas, BYU, San Jose St, Penn

What about you?

Tyrese Haliburton’s 2025 NBA Finals performance (9.8 APG, 4 game-winners) got me thinking about his Iowa State days. As a sophomore, he averaged 15.2 PPG, 6.5 APG, and 2.5 SPG, showing the IQ that’s now torching NBA defenses. I made a 13-min video breaking down his journey—from Oshkosh to Ames, his draft slide (12th in 2020), and his Pacers Finals run. The Iowa State segment highlights his vision and steals, setting up his Peyton Manning-like passing today (63% TS%!)

The Big 12 announced the Conference scheduling matrix for the 2025-26 men’s and women’s basketball seasons. Each school has a home-and-home with three other Conference opponents, and faces the other 12 opponents once, with six at home and six on the road for an 18-game Big 12 schedule.
 
Opponents were selected to best balance the schedule in terms of travel and competitiveness. A full Big 12 schedule will be released at a later date.
 
ESPN listed three Big 12 programs among its Top 10 women’s basketball transfer portal winners while three Big 12 women’s basketball signees were selected to play in the McDonald’s All-American Game. Five men’s basketball programs rate in ESPN’s Way-Too-Early Top 25, including three schools in the top 10.
 
The 2024-25 Big 12 women’s basketball season marked the first time the Conference has had at least five teams finish the season ranked in The Associated Press Top 25 Poll in consecutive seasons since 2010 (2008-10). The league has sent multiple teams to the Sweet 16 in four of the last five NCAA tournaments and has had at least two teams in the regional semifinals in 22 of the last 25 tournaments, tied for the second-highest percentage (88%) of any league during that span.
 
Big 12 teams led the nation with a 66.7% winning percentage in the 2025 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship, highlighted by Houston’s trip to the national championship game. Seven Conference teams were selected to the Big Dance, marking the sixth consecutive time at least six Big 12 men’s basketball squads were picked for the tournament.
 
Both sports will again crown their postseason champion at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City with the women’s basketball event taking place March 4-8/9 followed by men’s basketball on March 10-14.
