Apparently Louisville favored by 6.5.

That suggests a pick em at JPJ? I don’t buy it.
Anyone know if the G league dude is actually playing against us? Wouldn’t be ideal but it would potentially fuck up their rotations and chemistry. He’s talented but I don’t mind a team experimenting against us, especially if Brown is still out.
He would seem to be an obvious target to exploit on offense.

With Brown- I don’t know that we have a good answer to guarding him
Without Brown- gimme the hoos all day
I have a feeling iMac is going to pick this game to break out of his slump, and being on the road doesn’t help us. But even so, I think we have a reasonable chance if Brown is out. Certainly if Brown AND Conwell are out. Even if they’re both back, they may not be at full speed, and Brown at least will be rusty. This was always going to be a tough game, but looks like we could be facing them at the right time.
Is going 2-1 too greedy for this next 3 game stretch?

KenPom predicts we get 1.6 wins out of the next 3 games, so I’d say 2 wins is just the right amount of greedy.

I want exactly 1.6 wins. I want to see what that looks like.

That extra 0.6 of a Q1 victory could be what puts us over the top.

This is our biggest game of the year, so far, and our best opportunity for a headline-grabbing win. Conwell/Brown health and availability and Funny Story readiness loom large.

Will be interesting to see this week’s poll. 9 of the 10 teams directly in front of us lost this week, most of them by double digits.

Fwiw, Parrish has the two of us at 18 (them) and 19 (us).
KenPom has it at 15/16.
In WAB, it’s 21 (us) v. 34 (them).
I’ll leave RPI to Jerry Palm.
I would be all over that line.
