Alabama has played a legit fricking schedule and have a case for being the best team in basketball. Been fun to watch.

It really is the way to go. We racked up a ton of great OOC wins last year, were basically a .500 club in conference play, and were still rewarded with a 6th seed

We suck. Will be lucky to win one of these two Pac12 games we have coming up.

#2 maybe. UConn threw us around like rag dolls and is undefeated themselves. But we've come out of a pretty tough schedule win some nice wins. Really only 2 "elite" opponents so far (UConn/Houston) but a lot of solid teams (MSU, UNC, Memphis) and some decent middies (Longwood, Liberty).

Saturday will be tough. We played 2 absolute physical wars in the last week w/ Houston and Memphis. Hope we have gas in the tank.

Tennessee/Arizona on campus should be a great one. Was a fun game last year. #1 offense vs #1 defense per KenPom.

UCLA looked great against Maryland. Curious to see how Kentucky looks.

I feel like Gonzaga is a game we drop

Game of the weekend between Arizona and Tennessee I favor the Wildcats but it should b egood

Kentucky figures everything out right around the end of February like clockwork... but it's December. Give me UCLA

If Davis is healthy Memphis rolls over aTm

UCF isn't Kansas give me Mizzou

Vandy is bad, real bad NC State by a lot

Arky
State has had a great start
LSU of course

Now both Ole Miss and South Carolina need a get back game after a rough weekend. I think they both get it.

Auburn is better than USC

Notre Dame takes UGA to the shed

Will Mississippi State ever play a power 5 team? Holy shite. When they get in conference play? Their lack of a good OOC schedule will frick them. They ain't gon be ready.

Wouldn't really say they are overrated as they earned their rank, but they're definitely not going to sustain what they did the first month.

However, UCLA was up something like 42-18 early on. It was an absolute mauling.

They played Utah, Marquette and Minnesota and beat all 3. Their other games are terrible (and Minnesota is terrible), but it's not been completely devoid of decent opponents.
