Does anyone like the new expanded tournament?

I'm all for more teams getting access to the NCAA tournament, but I feel like any expansion should allow for more regular season conference champions to go along with the tournament champions.
Tell me why I'm wrong

On the right is your all-time record holder for a single game scoring in a high school basketball game…135 points…never played college

I’ve always been fascinated with high school records in any sport and how many of those record holders never go on to play in college. Random track and field records, RBs running for 9 TDs in a game in Podunkville, and hoops records like this one.

Danny Heater was truly on a heater that night back in 1960. 135 points. No college ball for him.

Here is the list of high school scoring record holders by state as well as overall. Quite a lot of future college and NBAers on there. But Danny Heater tops them all. Also a reminder that life isn’t forever.

Kerr Kriisa reportedly has been arrested by the FBI

Its being reported by Jack Pilgrim that Kriisa was arrested in connection with a multimillion dollar fraud scheme that happened during his time at WVU. I don't see any other reports, but Pilgrim is a fairly reliable source. Point shaving is the first thought, but with Kriisa...who knows.

Does anyone know what tools data are used in college basketball analytics?

I've been following my local college women's basketball team for a few years and last year ran some analytics just to understand what they do best and how they work best, since they lost a lot of games in similar fashion. I looked on their website and they don't have an analyst so I thought I could provide them some information on a volunteer basis as a hobby.

Does anyone here know what sort of tools college programs use? So far I hand built some lineup data and some playcalling data but I don't know what the next step should be as far as what would be useful.

Does anyone have any insight?

On March 20th 2026, High Point Men’s Basketball Twitter & Coach Clayman offered Charles Barkley an offer to play. For the 2026-27 season, how good would a 63 turning 64 year old Charles Barkley do? How well does the team do overall?

Potential #1 Pick in 2027 NBA Draft? - Miikka Muurinen 2025 EuroBasket Highlights

Hey guys I've been working on a comprehensive highlight reel of Miikka Muurinen's highlights from last year's EuroBasket.

He was the only teen getting significant minutes in the tournament and you can instantly see why NBA scouts are drooling over him.

There were some reports about character issues this past season - most around the Arkansas basketball program think that's overblown based on their early impressions. For those who don't know, he played pro ball in Europe last year and it didn't go great - in part IMO because the coach knew he'd be gone to the NBA in a few months and had no incentive to develop an 18 year old who he knew would be gone.

Predict this 64-team Bracket from 1997. Who will win it?

I built a free bracket challenge around a simulated NCAA-style tournament in EA Sports College Basketball.

Every game is played out and released on a schedule, so everyone gets to watch their bracket unfold just like March Madness.

No entry fee—just bragging rights (and prizes if applicable).

Think you can predict the winner better than everyone else?

What to expect as an International recruit?

So I’m a 6’6 F from England and have got some offers with my most notable being George Mason and FIU but I’m probably unable to visit them so what should I expect from the facilities and especially the experience of actually playing In a game (I expect it massively differs compared to over here 😂) Also what things can I do to decide where to go and what to do before I leave

[Charania] Just in: Minnesota is sending Julius Randle and the No. 28 pick in the NBA Draft to the Brooklyn Nets in a three-team trade that sends Nic Claxton to the Chicago Bulls, sources tell ESPN. The Timberwolves will acquire Brooklyn’s No. 33 pick for Randle and No. 28.

Genuinely, why does the A10 still have St.Bonaventure? 2nd lowest enrolment & endowment on the list (lowest in both categories aren’t 1 single school) and far away from a major city. Sienna in the MAAC has a bigger arena (>15k capacity) & in a city w/ over 5x its population.

Can someone explain this to me?

What are all these types of reactions to Jon Rothstein supposed to mean? I feel very out of the loop.
