Walker is so good.  Really impressive player.  Pace still concerns me but Walker’s ascension is a big plus

Far and away the best team in the country

Kansas State and Iowa State both lost.  Huge day for Marquette.

Currently in 1st place and the possibility to jump up a seed line is closer than it was yesterday!

Crazy ending to the Portland State/Northern Arizona game:

MU will likely remain in the Top 10.

Omg!

Tennessee lost two games this week to sub par opponents. Missouri is good not great. Vanderbilt is terrible. Marquette should move past them.

Tennessee will drop out of the top 10 in AP Poll. They went from 3 to 5 in KenPom.

Mizzou is number 2 nationally in adjusted offense in KenPom. (MUBB 3). They get a lot of assists and fast break pts as does MUBB.  They force a lot of turnovers, although that wasn’t a factor vs Tennessee. And Mizzou is now 14-0 when they make 10 3’s in a game. 14/26 today.

Vandy isn’t terrible. They are an NIT level team that won at home in a rivalry game.

Gonzaga has held that title at times, too.  Last year, for example.  Not Houston’s fault the AAC stinks but worth a pause

[cheebs09]

Glad to see Gates having success. I wonder if he’d view Georgetown as a step up to Mizzou.

He’ll be the top choice for Florida State should they make a change.

Was MUCH more interested in Gates than Wardle or Moser.

My top choice not knowing Shaka was a legit target at the time.

Now this is an OUT OF BOUNDS PLAY right here… I think the announcer soiled his self

Oops, didn’t see earlier post

[HowardsWorld]

Not sure we would catch Arizona but pac12 is terribly weak. Arizona lost now to Stanford. Upsets will happen weekly just need marquees to avoid them

[Judge Smails]

Oregon’s basketball court is disgusting

[MU82]

Far and away the best team in the country

Well played.

Jop would be their star, right?

[JakeBarnes]

Same. He was mine as well pre-Shaka

[Dickthedribbler]

Just watching Gonzaga wrap up an exciting win in Spokane. 11:20 pm CT. 12:20 am on the East Coast.

I'm perfectly fine. If I didn't love it, I'd go to bed. But is this a sign of what Big East basketball fans might be experiencing 2-3 years down the road??

[Juan Anderson's Mixtape]

Same. He was mine as well pre-Shaka

Same for me.  Gates was my top choice pre-Shaka.

Questionable call duke va game

If that happens to Duke every game for the next 10 seasons then then -maybe- college basketball will be even with them.

I hate Duke but that was embarrassing.

Finally, a scooper found the words that I wish I had. Says it all. Nice post, Muggs.

It won't cost Duke getting into the tournament or much in seeding but it could keep Virginia on a higher seed line.

My wife and I have friends in "C'ville", as it is sometimes called locally, who would be perfectly happy with that. But a horribly blown call like one that is really bad for college bball.
