Vegas is kind of fading us. 3 teams ranked below us in this tournament (and will be ranked below us when new rankings come out as well) have better odds to win this tournament than Bama?

Gonzaga opens as a 4.5 point favorite (down to 3.5 now) while being ranked below us. That's not just a toss up line, 4.5 points in basketball is a pretty heavy lean on a neutral court.

Personally I think Gonzaga is under ranked and I can stomach that this game is going to be really tough. But Tenn (who has played nobody) and Iowa State who always is over inflated and never lives up to the billing, bothers me.

I think it’s more because there’s teams that have an easier path to 2-0. Like if we’re dogs in game 1 it makes sense that teams that are favored by 8 in their 2 games would be a smidge higher.

If we’re dogs can knock off Gonzaga we have a great chance.

The tournament has some weird tie breakers that reward points scored, so hopefully style of play will favor us too

For Alabama, the loss was more proof that the Crimson Tide will have trouble against top opponents if Aden Holloway isn't the maestro they need him to be. 


From an ESPN article. Not once did they mention Wrightsell and Bethea being out. What's worse is three of their writers collectively wrote it.

Say what you want about the rebounding, but acting like our success is built upon both Philon and Aden playing well is a joke. At full health, we have the best and deepest guard room in the country.

2-2 is a great result in that stretch given the circumstances, but man it's hard not to think about us having Bristow against Purdue and Wrightsell last night. Each player would have likely helped in a major problem area in each of those games. Bethea also looked great in practices. Once we are at full health, this team will be really good. Rebounding has been a problem in our 2 losses, but we also pushed the rebounding battle against the second best rebounding team in the country so I'm a little less concerned than most.

Would be another 1-1 team. I’m assuming they won’t match us up with a team from our conference or St John’s so maybe Houston, Creighton or Maryland.

I think they factor in point differential and bullshite.

Any of yall going to the Clemson game Wednesday? School is out and it’s going to be cold and sandwiched between the Iron Bowl and the SEC so I’m going to come out support. I hate we’re playing these bums again.

Pregaming at Druid City.

I’ll be there. Maybe there won’t be additional injuries between now and then.

Clowney vs B Miller in the nba tonight. Clowned is having a pretty damn good 2nd season on an abysmal Nets team.
