The only reason I was pissed about the Iona loss was because I wanted to see what could do against a known commodity in Kansas. Now that they’ve shite the bed against Anthony Grant, it wouldn’t have mattered to me if we played Dayton or Miami on Sunday.

Now, a 20 point win against AG would have been a nice cap to the week, but somewhat meaningless in terms of success for this season. Also, a loss to an AG led Dayton team would have been equally or more maddening than the WKU loss to Stans last season.

Is Gonzaga a big enough known commodity?

I guess I should have prefaced that a little better by saying I wanted to see how we looked against elite talent BEFORE our murderer’s row stretch over the next two weeks. We’ve played some good teams, but needles to say, the next three games after Orlando are going to be a different level of competition. More speed, athleticism, and just flat out better players than we’ve seen so far… I don’t know that another game against a “good” mid major or average ACC team is going to prepare us for those situations like a game against Kansas would have.

Belmont defeats Iona.

Iona now has to beat Kansas to avoid going 1-2. Not exactly a fair draw after upsetting the #10 team in game 1. Hope they are at least competitive on Sunday.

Belmont vs Dayton for the tournament title. Who would have guessed that?

Gonzaga’s looking quite human right now.

Also Paolo Banchero, my Lord

I’d still take Chet with the first pick.

Power guard. Reminds me a bit of lance stephenson

Memphis is a disaster on offense. There is zero plan or actual offense in place. The only reason their defense is any good is because it’s a bunch of insane athletes and they are just able to switch everything and pressure like crazy. Penny might be the worst actual coach in the country.
