Nice to see Thomas’ name showing up there (multiple times!).

Surprised no Chance.

One of my biggest CTB frustrations was refusing to play our most efficient lineups most frequently. The fact that these are such high usage lineups on this chart makes me so happy that Odom is paying attention to analytics in a useful way.

New AP poll comes out today, where do the Wahoos land?

  • Top 10 put some respect on my name
  • 11
  • 12
  • 13
  • 14
  • 15
  • 16-25 No improvement off 2 road wins
0 voters

According to Haslem metrics the top 15 teams in efficiency this year to date are:

Offense:

Defense:

Michigan, Arizona, Virginia, Florida, Illinois on both lists. Michigan the only team above the Hoos in both.

Hate to say it but TDR doesn’t strike me as a legit NBA prospect. He’s playing like a really good P4 college player. But his ceiling is limited at 23 yrs old. In a way that may be good for us, if he chooses to come back next season

If we somehow get TDR back next year (and keep Mallory, Johann, and Lewis), we’re Final Four contenders

Sam could be all-ACC next year. Would love to see him forced into the alpha role.

All of our guys have increased their contract value. I hope we can pay them all.

That was my prediction earlier in the year that now doesn’t look like that much of a hot take. Still wish he’d be more assertive this year but next year I’m expecting a big jump

Well we don’t have to worry about paying Ugo, Malik, Tillis, or Jacari, which helps. Chance has earned a raise but at the same time we’re still his first love so it shouldn’t break the bank. Really comes down to finding the cash to lock down Sam and (if they want to play more college ball) TDR and Johann. Filling in with transfers ($$-$$$) and bench promotions ($), and maybe late cycle HS recruits ($-$$) otherwise.

UNC and a Louisville both stay ranked (somehow)

NC State got a vote too lmao

If we beat UNC there’s a chance we climb into the top 10 in due time. Our schedule is cake soft for a long stretch

I expect him and Mo to do some combo deals.

This was the most logical… voters normally don’t drop you for winning games… and the two ahead of us that lost both last week were dropped below us. Seemed like the standard poll movement for this time of the year.

UNC being second in Offense and second from bottom in Defense is crazy.

Any risk Mo goes elsewhere for her senior year? She may want a chance to play for a Tournament run before she graduates.

I feel like you answered your own question a bit

Feel like Dawn is going to definitely keep Mo around
