When the new rankings come out it’s going to look quite a bit differently than the first month of the season polls.
Was thinking that just now myself - - -Gonzaga lost Again now with 2 losses - - - North Carolina lost twice over the holiday weekend - - Duke lost again - - WE lost Mercy crazy already
-
Yeah I’m thinking that tournament might be seen as too good. UNC walks away with 2 losses which is survivable for them I guess. But most teams aren’t going to like the potential to lose two games. MSU has to play Portland in a meaningless 5th place game and nearly lost to 5-4 mid-major Portland. Kudos to Sparty for beating Oregon in their homestate, but it makes me wonder how many teams are going to want to travel to the Pacific Northwest and risk two or even three losses.
Meanwhile Indiana holds their own ‘invitational’ and is 6-0 without having played anybody. And like the last 30 years since Bobby left they’re being overrated. But Indiana fans won’t tell you they’re overrated. They think, to their credit I guess, that Indiana basketball is still relevant.

Caleb Love gets the efficiency award of the day for the Tarheels: 13 out of 36 shooting: 34 points.

That tournament is two 8 team brackets and not any more loaded than other higher profile tournaments can be. One of the brackets had 4 ranked teams and the other had 3 ranked teams. That’s not uncommon for some of the higher profile tournaments like Maui, Atlantis, or Orlando to have fields like that as well.
I also think tournaments like that early on are beneficial because it really exposes a team’s strengths and weaknesses.
The only game I’ve seen of Indiana this year was their game against Xavier and IU looks like a solid team that should contend for the Big 10 this year and if KU plays like they did against Tennessee, IU could KU off the floor as well.

I see Houston is #1 on CBS Sports. They’ve played an easy early schedule and only have two ranked teams to play this year, at this point.
I’m going to watch tomorrow’s game. Has anyone watched them? Give me some hints as to what to watch for?

Really good backcourt. Sasser is their best player. Walker and Arceneaux are exciting freshman with both on NBA radars. They defend and rebound. Kind of the staple of Sampson…
-
All we need to know about Houston is - - -they are legit. - -Sasser is the real deal

There’s a reason they’re a title favorite this year. Marcus Sasser is NPOY levels of good. They still have a few players from their Fonal Four team two years ago so this team is battle tested. They also have Kelvin Sampson who is a top 5 coach right now. He’s done something even Self hasn’t done in taking multiple schools to the Final Four. This is a team that has a shot to run the table year and are better suited to do so than Wichita St. was a few years ago.
-
Houston can defend at a top 5, maybe top 3 level. That means they are in every game before it even tips. If they can score at all, they are a threat.
-
Thanks! I’ll be sure to watch tonight.

Kentucky and Bellarmine tied at halftime at 21 a piece. Oh boyyy

Houston had their chance to win a NC. 1983 loaded team with two future hall of famers leads NCState with zero recognizable names and the legend of Jim Valvano is born. Guy Lewis the towel toter of Houston goes into a stall instead of just continue to score nearly at will and ends up on the receiving end of one of basketballs most quintessentially famous plays, the Wittenburg Airball caught by Prince Lorenzo Charles and slammed through. Valvano became famous as he ran around looking for someone to hug. Lewis regretted his decision for the rest of his life.
-
Tucky is tied with Bellarmine with 12 minutes to go. They’ve put up 34 points in 28 minutes against a team that just became Div 1…lol.
-
Kentucky up by 14 now with like 5 minutes to go - - I could of swore I saw some fans with a rope standing behind the Kentucky bench lmao
-
KU not the only Big 12 team thats had trouble in a game. - - Baylor getting their ass handed to them by Marquette 39 - - - -15 with 4:43 to go in the 1st half
-
Dam Baylor just getting smoked. - - -51 - - -25 at the half by Marquette. - - Baylor 16 turnovers to Marquette’s 2 turnovers. - -Marquette has scored 23 points to Baylor ZERO

Marquette is too fast for them.

As it turns out everyone blows
-
Chucky Hepburn just hit a 60 footer to end the half. He made a similar one last season. Badgers down 3 to Wake.
-
I knew they would slip without Tang. Now see if it’s for real. Does Baylor have any injuries?

Dang ended down 3 as well. No 2nd 60 footer…

Watched a fair bit of Missouri WSU last night since we play Missouri. Missouri can shoot it a bit but is horrible defensively. Wichita had a lot of unforced turnovers. In general Wichita has really fallen off.

Kenpom #37, 13th ranked O (20 slots higher then KU), 95th ranked D. Sounds spot on to what you said. They have given up 80+ to 4 teams so far & have played what has to be one of the worst schedules to date.
Southern Indiana, Penn, Lindenwood, SIUE, Miss Valley St, Coastal Carolina, Hou Christian, Wichita St has been their slate so far. Talk about murderer’s row.
-
@BeddieKU23 If we play focused we should win, idc about what torvik et al say
-
We should have no issue putting up 90 on them.
-
I actually like Isaac brown. The fans hate him and still love the ego-maniac player beater Marsha. Oh, and they still hate us. I kinda wonder if even the players from his good teams like him.
-
Last season of the ACC/BIG challenge as the ACC backed out. Not sure it had to do with the BIG signing with FoxSports or if it was the BIG has regularly won the challenge the last 10 years or so. BIG not doing as well this year and will need to pick up some wins against the big boys of the league in order to win. Curious to see Indiana against Duke.
-
Well KState goes down 76 - -64 to Butler tailed by as much as 20 trailed almost entire game. - -Keyonte Johnson was perfect from the field for them finished with 20 I believe
-
Lady Jayhawks huge win tonight - -Beating Texas A & M --74 - 42 , to move their record to 6 - -0 - Good Job ladies

The ACC didn’t back out. It’s being replaced with an ACC/SEC challenge and it’s because of the B10 no longer having a TV deal with ESPN and the ACC and SEC still having ESPN deals. It also means the B12/SEC challenge is coming to an end this season as well. I would expect the B12 and B10 to start something in the next year or two.

It’ll be fun playing our old Big 12 compadres
-
UNC is all out of sorts. They run a lot of stuff, just none of it well.

A little off the subject but the VP of my company has triplets, and one of them is a very good beach volleyball player. She just signed with Boise St. I pitched going to KU hard to dad, but he said she likes playing beach volleyball, not regular volleyball. So off to the land of the blue astro turf. Anyway, congrats to the lady jayhawks!

Creighton’s lack of athleticism is very apparent. Texas’ abundance of highly athletic players is apparent, too.

UConn taking it to Okie State. UConn made 19 FT’s in the first half to 4 for OSU. Also 10 TO’s for OSU.

I’ve never seen so many air balls in a half in my life.- – 3 point air balls mid range air balls - -what the hell lol
-
Creighton might be the most meh top 10 team I’ve ever seen
-
Did North Carolina end up winning their game last night ?
-
I like that there are Texas students courtside at mid-court. Not the old folks that are seated next to our court.

There are alot of those so called old folks that pay good money and big donors for those seats.The students are just fine- -they make plenty of noise right where their at

@jayballer67 IU won by a lot. They look really solid.

ya , they look pretty solid. - - Carolina I think was way overrated at the beginning of the season.- -Also think Duke isn’t as good as some think either- - they have flaws for the talent they have
-
Not to many nights you gonna see Creighton go 2 - - for 23 from the three. , and they have had a lot of good looks from the three - - not really contested a lot , just missed them
