NCAA Men's Basketball 2023

I love college basketball and my favorite team is the Kansas Jayhawks... duh. Early polls have them ranked #1 which means nothing. Tonight they travel to play #17 ranked Kentucky Wildcats. It should be a good game that will be on ESPN in a half hour or so. I also root for my local university, Wichita State U, where I was a sysop on their BBS years ago and where my kids went to college. Do you have a favorite team?

i am a big UCLA fan. we have had some decent runs in the tournament the past couple of years. we lost some big time juniors and senior to the nba draft. this is supposed to be a rebuild year. we did land some top 10 recruits, curious to see how these freshman will play this year.

They may tear it up. Kentucky's freshman gave KU all they could deal with. Considering their big guys were all out, they would have kicked our butts if they had played. Freshman can be really good!

The only game on here is Wisconsin getting schooled by Providence 13-30 with five left in the first.

Been watching the Maui Invitational. Kansas beat Chaminade and will next see Marquette who just barely scraped by UCLA. Tennessee beat Syracuse and will see Perdue who beat Gonzaga in the other side of the bracket. The bracket is loaded with talent.

Hopefully SDSU can do as good as they did last season.

I have hopes to see Kansas make the finals. (a big hope) I have hopes that my local U Wichita State can just make it into the tournament. They look improved bun man they are a sad watch.

Half time of the Kansas Marquette game at the Maui Invitational. Marquette is showing Kansas how to play the game.

The dust settled and Marquette schooled Kansas big time. They made there shots and forced Kansas to play at their pace. Kansas couldn't seem to take care of the ball with the speed of the action. It was ugly to watch for a Kansas fan. It should open their eyes that they have a lot of work ahead of them.

Tennessee vs Kansas here in a minute should be a good one.

late responding but I was locked out of AF... long story. Kansas still didn't look good in that game but was good enough to better Tennessee. Was a fun watch!
