Yeah. I mean, none of Utah State or Nevada or Boise State or the other reliably even decent mid-majors would play them?

Counterpoint: those teams just aren’t very good this year. The women’s teams from those schools have done alright.

Another big injury, JT Toppin done for the year with an ACL tear. Absolutely brutal:

Jon Rothstein as a convenience summarizer of SID info snippets, guy who likes to eat food, or the human reminder of what month it is specifically in the 3rd month of the year:

That is brutal. Wonder if they convince him to come back again. He + Anderson with transfer $$ is a base for another Top 10ish team.

State over that Heel team not an upset - neither is ASU over Toppinless Texas Tech. Is any win over no history Nebraska an upset?

Does nepo baby Talia know that Rothstein covers men’s basketball?

? Jon’s argument is that the arduous travel schedule will prevent west coast basketball teams from winning the Big 10 title. Unless you think there’s something systematically different about men’s and women’s abilities to handle the same difficult basketball travel schedule, her point completely undermines his dumb argument.

Toppin played 32 minutes and left with 6 minutes left. They were down by 5 when he left and had been losing pretty much the entire game.

She acted like it was a slight towards women’s basketball by not mentioning it. Jon’s point is dumb cause all of those teams just kinda suck this year but traveling across the country every other week and living in a hotel from Tues-Saturday like Cal and Stanford do certainly isn’t helping their performance.

Damn I loved that Texas Tech team, and just as they got Bamgboye and that other guy back healthy. Brutal

Random thought but why is Creighton so bad this year? Didn’t they spend a bunch of money on Owen freeman and he barely plays

I think Freeman has had lingering injury effects. McAndrew got hurt before the New Year as well.

I mean they lost their three best players (including a defensive all American in Kalk) from a team that was pretty bubblish most of last year.
