Nothing like November domination.

some programs specialize in hanging February national champion banners

Purdue is one of those programs

Dispatched fanboys has been confirmed

I just know how Redd likes those kind of team stats. Helping out the thread.

Just seems odd to use the fact that they just beat three top ten teams in three days as a means to mock them

If it’s guaranteed that they will fail just wait until then, but for now it’s a props only zone

They didn’t just beat App State and think Georgia is trembling

I was acknowledging their stout 93% winning percentage against non con over the last 30 games. It’s impressive.

I’m sure you can understand, as an avid college football fan who puts a lot of stock into early season victories.

I don’t put stock in anything, had to be someone else

But I’ll let you fight it out with Redd. I just came here to announce the putting on of the big boy pants in Maui and in process taking down some fanboys.

LOL

You Tar Heels love twisting the knife. That's Ok, EDEY isn't being turned away this year.

By the way, Marquette is for real. They couldn't stop EDEY, most teams can't, but they're better than Purdue at most every position. Kolek and Kam Jones are the best backcourt in the country by a mile. Oso Ighodaro is an awesome big when not tasked when defending 7'4 college Shaq. I think they'll spend some time at #1 eventually when Purdue inevitably loses.

Kolek is college Luka.

Definitely Final Four or bust.

1. UConn
2. Purdue
3. Marquette
4. Arizona
5. Creighton

That's probably how I'd power rank the field right now as of Thanksgiving. No dominant teams again, which is great. But, a bunch of really good teams.

I’m trying not to let my hatred for Shaka Smart overrun me, but Marquette is a team that is going to be miserable to play against. KU was completely unprepared for that. KU had 30+ turnovers in the last two games, pretty bad. But **** Shaka Smart, that guy is a bum. Hasn’t been out of the second round of the tournament since 2011.

Creighton’s schedule so far: Florida A&M, ND State, Iowa, Tx Southern, Loyola IL

I know they’re a good team, but they’ve played no one.

I don't recall Purdue ever making a Final Four in my life time. Too much pressure on Edey and Painter to deliver it.

UNC is looking better and better with Cadeau getting more minutes, and Withers playing more. This Paxson Wojcik as a starter experiment needs to end asap. We have a really good group of players. Hopefully Hubert doesn't screw it up. I would almost guarantee that we somehow draw Arizona in our bracket btw.

I haven't been overly impressed with Kansas thus far, but I guess you can so that about just any team. I was way more impressed with Kentucky and what they can be come March. Tennessee actually looked really good in a loss. But being honest, it's only fitting that Caleb Love hero balls like crazy in March and Arizona ships it and Lig and Tar Heels2222 (seriously bro it's 2 words) are left scratching their heads.

I like our team though. Most of the transfers minus Dontrez Styles needed to go. Puff isn't very good and is weak for D1 college bball, I liked Demarco Dunn but he's not been very good at a new school. Nor has Tyler Nickel. Most of them were the ole saying of addition by subtraction. Ingram, Ryan, and Withers are definitely an upgrade athletically and bball wise. Funny enough, the best UNC transfer that would have been a negative during the 2022 run is Dawson Garcia so far.

No one cares about NCAA hoops anymore. My god.

The positive is that it ended yesterday. The negative is that Seth was the replacement and not Cadeau.

Quoted for truth. Got exposed bigly today.

may as well enjoy the wins as they come

Creighton just has no athletes. Their 7 man rotation is 6 white guys and Alexander, who is good, but not that athletic for a black guy. Colo St plays tough man to man D and Creighton just couldn't get shots.

Villanova blitzing Memphis

I’ve been happy to see the jump he’s made in his game from FR to Sophmore season. He takes pride in locking up his man on defense, and is actually looking for his shot this year. Last year I had zero confidence in him even taking a 3 much less making it. Cadeau obviously needs minutes, but is a little out of control on defense so far. I like Withers playing more as he brings a lot length and athleticism. Overall this is a solid group and an upgrade from last year’s bench players minus maybe Styles. I just hope they make the 2nd weekend, but still think it looks like the same ole same ole under Hubert. Just dump it down to Bacot or jack 3s, if Ingram isn’t backing his man down. I really don’t think he’s a good coach but hope that he proves me wrong.

I don’t know what Hubert likes about Paxson Wojcik but it just seems like he makes nothing but bad decisions. He doesn’t shoot when he should and decides to pull running floaters instead. He knocks Bacot out of position on easy offensive rebounds, etc etc. He just seems to be way more a negative +/- to the eye, but maybe I’m wrong. I just see an offensive deadweight out of him.

UNC looks like a tournament team. Big game vs Tennessee this week.

Kansas has a lot of **** they need to figure out right now, but when they do, they might become the best team in the country. Harris, McCullar, and Dickinson is about as good as it gets for a trio to start with, they need to figure out who to fill in around them. They definitely have the players/athletes.

I feel like this becoming more common in college bball with all the transfers, teams struggle a little bit early on to figure out their rotation.
