Ok?

What should the line have been and how many points is Allen Fieldhouse worth?

houston -1.5 according to vegas, probably like 5 according to power rankings

4ish

probably houston -1 or something if they played tomorrow

As far as transfer portal guys go, I think it’s pretty clear that the biggest winners are UNC with Harrison Ingram and Tennesse with Dalton Knecht. Both have been flat out amazing gets for each team.

Good choices but I'll add some more:

Illinois grabbing Domask and Guerrier was huge.
Wisconsin went from NIT to top 10 team by adding AJ Storr to the exact same roster from a year ago. They do have some nice frosh off the bench as well, but Storr has been a game changer.

Cam Spencer to UCONN.

Hunter Dickinson Kansas

Max Abmas to Texas (from Oral Roberts)

the Wahoos hold the Canes to their lowest point total ever in an ACC game

38 is rough.

indeed

was 0.667 ppp

UVA playing a lot better the last few weeks. Blown out by state and wake but have now won 7 in a row.

Going to be a tough one in Charlottesville in a few weeks. We always struggle there. The nice thing is we will have a week off between games for that one.

Kansas is just not a serious contender. Basically have 5 playable players with zero depth. Don't shoot threes. Point guard that's scared to shoot or try to score. Low key a really overrated roster Self put together.

Yep. Just an abortion of a game last night. This team is bipolar and they tend favor the shitty side.

I’ll just add a little bit to this. Self has never been a proponent of 3’s, for whatever stupid reason. McCullar and Furphy are both shooters, they should shoot more. Self loves hi-low so naturally when he has a legit 7’er he wants his offense to run through him, right or wrong. The bench depth never materialized, the starting 5 is pretty good but they get no help. Dejuan Harris may have taken a step back, he reminds me of Aaron Miles who was more of a facilitator. He passes up easy shots (he’s actually not a bad shooter, as ugly as it looks) to make really hard assists and ends up turning it over, it’s annoying as hell. They can make a run but they can’t have an off night.

look on the bright side, you aren't going to go the way of another recent preseason AP #1 and miss the Dance outright

regular season underachievers tend to overperform in the tourney

Pitino's comments today seemed to imply or even directly state that the NCAA could become irrelevant or defunct. I love that. No doubt he has a bit of acrimony towards them, but there is a valid point there. In the 60's and 70's when the NCAA was first overtaking the NIT, well before long it became a foregone conclusion that the NCAA had established itself as the big kid on the block forever. They got more and more arrogant and corrupt, you could say a lot like the PGA Tour, the NFL ... but eventually their solo king of the hill thing faded out. I hope it happens here. It could happen fast if it starts. Maybe some oil barons will put up a few trillion and jump it up.

the NLRB / Dartmouth ruling certainly isn't good news for the NCAA

MWC finish is gonna be fun

SDSU, Utah State, New Mexico and Boise all have 3 losses, Colorado State has 4

SDSU, Utah State and New Mexico play all 4 opponents

Colorado State and Boise play the other 3, having just played their second head to head last night

Tons of wild races this year.

No team with less than 3 conference losses in

Big XII
Pac 12
Horizon
Summit
Mountain West

Big XII I just think Houston will eventually gain enough ground on everyone by virtue of being that much better than everyone.

Pac 12, Arizona needs at worst a split of the always tough Mountain Road Trip, otherwise it's a very wide open race.

I think the ACC race between Virginia and UNC is pretty interesting too.

B1G West always carrying the B1G East. Smh.

lololol Wisky
