Saunders being done for the season at BYU really puts a spotlight on their roster construction. Did they end up so thin because all the money went to Dybantsa and Wright III? I guess they also had some bad luck with Dawson Baker getting injured. But even so, I think Evan Miya had their roster rank really really low at the start of the season
I don’t ask for much, but please do not have Michigan as the Sweet 16 1 seed in our bracket. ![]()
Why?
I mean, Michigan is number one on KenPom, Barrtorvik, and EvanMiya by wide margins and they are blowing the doors off Purdue tonight.
Yeah, any team can lose on a given night during a single elimination tournament, but I’ll gladly let someone else try to figure Michigan out.
Blake Buchanan had a really good game against Houston last night. Who woulda thought. …. Houston of all teams.
I watched it and I thought he looked a little bit improved but basically the same old Blake… struggled to rebound and missed free throws. Also got blocked a few times. He did have better body control.
I’m a BBB (Biased Blake Basher) but also watched him and wasn’t really impressed.
He has more freedom on defense and in offense. That seemed to be the biggest difference.
You really will play devils advocate on anything lol. Uhh maybe because they’re the clear best team in the country
OSU blowing out the #24 fighting Rhodes
Why in the world does Rhode play so much for them?? I see he’s played 23 minutes and hasn’t got a point to show for it.
Edit: sorry - 1 point.
This is a new move to me:

I kinda love it as a neutral who’s here for the content
Wait, hold on, has Mick Cronin overtaken Buzz Williams as the weirdest f***ing guy coaching college basketball?
Six ranked teams dropped games to unranked opponents on the road last night. I think they were all Q1, with exception of SLU losing to Rhode Island.
Texas Tech and Nebraska losing good for us in terms of trying to catch them in the seeding.
What ended up being the prognosis on Toppin for TTU? I went to sleep and haven’t seen anything reliable this morning
Buzz is pure weird, Cronin might just be a jerk:

Seems like it was non-contact knee injury but the angle is tough to tell for sure.
Totally agree. Buzz is your weird neighbor who you see around and after talking to him, you say to yourself “that guy is strange”. Mick is the guy in the neighborhood you avoid at all costs.
He backfoots the reporter then accuses the reporter of “raising his voice at him”. That’s weird, aggro behavior.
What a clown. I mean, it was a dumb question, but who cares, move on.
When I see stuff other coaches do, it’s crazy the contrast between someone like this, or Buzz, or Tang and then what we were able to have here with Tony for so many years. Always a professional in every sense and then even more.
