College Basketball 2025

[LinvilleGorge]

Yeah, leaving Miami Ohio out would be dumb. Almost as dumb as now calling the play in games the "1st round". In a field of 64 you can't tell me there's not room for a 31-1 team. Hell, I volunteer my Heels to stay at home and give them our spot. LOL

Outside of the opening thursday-friday of the tourney, bracket buster Saturday was my favorite day of college basketball.

Bracket Buster Saturday was always fun!  As a Davidson fan that was always a day.

And thats how I found out that there was an actual thing called the College Basketball Invitiational tournament. LOL

Seriously, did anyone even know this existed? Everyone knows about the NIT (Not Invited Tournament), but did anyone realize there was a third tier conference for teams that even got snubbed by the NIT?

Carolina was 4-2 against the East Bracket this year. 

Praying they will be a 6 seed in Oklahoma City so I can drive up. Give us Miami (OH), so we can shut up all this 31-0 talk.

UNCC won it in 2023.

So a few of us alumni knew about it.

This team was just hanging on waiting on Caleb to comeback. With him out that hope is gone. Decent chance we get bounced put of the conference tourney and NCAA tourney first games we play.

Wish I'd been wrong but this was so predictable.

Not another word about Eric Maynor ever again.

Yeah this was pretty easy to see coming. I hope they don't give Hubert a pass cuz of that injury 

[TLGPanthersFan]

Fire Hubert Davis.

I don't know who even mentioned Eric maynor. That VCU Duke game was twenty years ago and doesn't hit like a Lehigh or Mercer did

No one did lol . Also the ACC sucks as a whole. Duke will not make it past the sweet 16

They had to come back to win today which I didn't expect this early, UNC crapped the bed and let VCU come back and win. I can't see any team in the ACC getting past the 32 unless they get an easier path.

Duke will beat TCU but I can't see them beating kansas or st John's
