Their title, not mine. Looks like the people are starting to hop aboard the bandwagon.

20 years ago too.
That would be really cool if they did. Link?
There is still a lot of basketball to play, but it sure is fun to be one of the top teams so far.
All it took for the media to talk about us is a loss. Go figure.
One game at a time gang.
Let's get past Providence!

I agree. Hearing upbeat things about the program is great but a lot of basketball still to be played. Definitely time to focus on the next game and not look six weeks down the road.
Computer saw what we did...MU up to 12 on KenPom. I'm surprised our defense isn't better...I thought that would be a given for a Shaka team...but I think we give a little in our deffensive ranking to benefit our offensive ranking...and the offense has been so reliable (#2 on KenPom).
Never thought we'd be this far along 1.5 years into Shaka's tenure with an extremely young team...with no impact transfers this year. I still don't feel we've played a game we shouldn't have won.
It's been a great season thus far
But ... we've been in similar situations recently ( last year after 7 game win streak ) ... and a few years ago w /

Let's just beat PROV. Then on to the
next

Yeah I'm waiting but it's hard not to get excited, this team doesn't seem to focus in on one or two players like 22 or 20 and ideally won't have a locker room melt down like 19. I don't expect the win streaks that those teams had but it doesn't strike me as a team that's primed for a meltdown like those three.

and the tourney is a crapshoot, so what are they even playing for?

The chance to win in the tournament. Crapshoots go both ways. Why it's so messy

Defensive weakness is rebounding.
been saying this for weeks that this team has final four written all over them.

Not really, though.
There have been 155 teams that have been in the top 10 of KenPom on one end of the court and outside of the top 50 of KenPom on the other end of the court since 2002 (when KenPom started). Only 4 of those teams have made a Final Four.
MU is 2 in offense and 82 in defense at KenPom.

Wonder how many made the Sweet16?
