We get conference basketball games every day for the next 11 weeks

No team did more yesterday to help their at-large case for the NCAA Tournament than Utah State! A huge win @ St Mary’s to close out non-conference play, especially considering the regression of the MW.

If the Aggies get a single-digit seed, we’ll be looking back at December 22 as the reason!
December 23, 2024 at 1:53 PM
Teams with huge wins so far today:

- Memphis (@ Clemson)
Another Q1A win for the Tigers, who move into 4/5 seed territory

- Texas A&M (@ Purdue)
The Aggies move into the discussion for a top 3 seed and one of the clear best 15 teams in the country

How to spot a football fan who is transitioning to college basketball:

1) Touts the NET as a power ranking
2) Talks about AP Poll rankings
3) Refers to conference standings for selection
4) Values the eye test over analytics
5) Thinks H2H is more important than body of work

Any others? Add yours👇

The Big 12/Big East Battle tips off tonight!
This is a huge opportunity for the Big East to get back on track after a very weak, disappointing start to the season.

11 games over the next 6 days, how many wins does each conference walk away with?

IF YOU’RE NOT WITH US IN NOVEMBER…

… please still show up in March. This sport is awesome, and I’d hate to see you miss out on these great teams and games.
November 30, 2024 at 2:46 AM
Yes the SEC is going to be the best basketball conference top to bottom this season.

Don’t tell them that though, they might try to break off and start their own superleague…

Thankful for clutch dual screens via YoutubeTV 🙏

Staying up for UConn-Dayton because if UConn goes 0-3 in Maui, Dan Hurley’s little head might explode
November 28, 2024 at 6:00 AM
Did somebody forget to tell Mike Woodson and team that there’s 2 halves in a basketball game?

November 26, 2024 at 3:34 PM
It wasn’t a foul, but Dan Hurley just cost his team an important game with an emotional outburst.

Love that the dude embraces the villain arc, but he’s got to get it under control in these moments…

This is an AWESOME basketball game. Get over to ESPN2 for the finish!

Memphis 48-48 UConn, 13:54 2H

Could 2024 Vandy have the arc of 2023 South Carolina?? 🤔🤔

The Commodores are now 6-0 after demolishing Seton Hall and will play Drake on Sunday in the Charleston Classic championship!
November 23, 2024 at 12:16 AM
Super underrated game of the day (especially for my Utah people):

- UC Irvine (-6.5) @ Weber State [7:00pm MST]

UC Irvine has started the season 4-0 and per KenPom, will be favored in every single remaining game. Can Weber State put a dent in their at-large hopes?
