Basketball Extra | Loving The ’23 Tournaments

March 13, 2023

Strap in because the ’23 basketball tournaments are going to be a blast. It all started with the ACC Tournaments and now it’s time for the big dogs to roll. Will and Jim look back on the last week of the men’s tournament and the coaching changes that grabbed the headlines. Then we move on to the title game between Duke and Virginia where it was almost exclusively defense. Don’t believe us? Look at the halftime score.


We move on to the WNIT and then the NIT. We share some hard to swallow realities regarding teams who chose to play and not to play.


Next up, the treasure trove of ACC women’s teams in the NCAA tournament is simply astounding and it includes a No. 1 seed in Virginia Tech.


We’re not shy about who we think can and cannot advance to the second round of all of these tournaments.

There aren’t as many men’s teams advancing to the NCAA tournament as you’d normally expect but five isn’t a bad number. Can Pitt play in against Mississippi State? How will Miami fair against Drake? Duke faces Oral Roberts. Both teams are on a run so the question is, which one stumbles? NC State takes on a tough Creighton and Virginia matches up with Furman. Which of these conference basketball teams can and should advance to the second round? We’ve got some thoughts to share with you.
