I thought it was 2 vs the field but clearly you have add Michigan.  I think I would take the top 3 vs the field.  What kind of pro do you think Dickinson will be?  Will he have to add the triple?  I'm curious if he can go old school once he gets to the NBA?   I expect him to improve a.lot in 2 yrs.

Michigan goes into Bloomington and waxes Indiana

It has been a strange year for the Gophers. Early in the conference season they had impressive wins over Iowa, MSU, tOSU, and Michigan. Suddenly, they are losing to mid or lower-tier B1G teams.

They play out of control a lot.  Carr has a perpetual green light but he's not very efficient at all.

I think he can add a 3/jump shot and be a Brook Lopez type.  Then he's very intriguing.  He's very good already

OK St picks up another huge win. Cade Cunningham is terrifying. I don't know how he's not the consensus #1 pick. He's absolutely unreal

Not a one and done as he can't stretch the defense and would get abused on D. Imagine him trying to guard Jokic or Embid.

North Carolina with a nice bounce back against a very good Florida State team.

UNC hit 18 straight FTs to clinch the game.  That's insanity

I think Illinois hit 10 of 10 in the final minute to hold off UW-Madison

[MuggsyB]

So I guess Whisky's best win is Loyola-Chi?    They have zero wins vs the top 5 B-14 teams.  Remember Illini's best player was out today.  They're a 8 or 9 seed right now.

This weekend is the first time I'm watching more than a minute or two of Loyola. It could just be a bad weekend, but I am fully unimpressed by them. There's talk of this team being better than their Final Four team but I do not see that one bit. That team was an 11 seed because they played in a bad conference and they got a couple breaks in their draw, but they were legit. I had them going to the Elite Eight in my bracket that season. Anything can happen in a one and done situation, but I'd be pretty surprised if they even made the second round.

[MuggsyB]

They haven't looked good since they beat Drake and then lost the following day.  I will say that's it's hard to get a read on teams playing back to backs.  I would agree they are not as good as their recent F4 team.

So I guess Baylor isn't unbeatable by anyone except Gonzaga after all, huh?

Covid break has been a problem for teams.  Let's see how they shake out post Big XII tourney

No, they aren't.

I'm not questioning that Baylor is an excellent team. They have as good a chance as anyone of going all the way.

But it was kinda silly for many to act like Gonzaga and Baylor are light years ahead of everyone else this year.

stans doing well so far vs the zags. hire him

Add Michigan to those two and they really are light years ahead.

Why was it "silly"? They were routing (not just beating) everyone they faced.

[GooooMarquette]

Not anymore, hey?

[Mr. Nielsen]

Gonzaga, Baylor or the field?

I'll roll the dice and take the field.

I'll still take the field.

What were the expectations for LMU? 

[Johnny B]

What were the expectations for LMU?

idk i dont think lmu is talked about much

[MuggsyB]

No, they aren't.

They haven't beaten anyone since Jan 15th and really haven't beaten anyone besides Loyola all year.

Do you think Stan potentially has the goods? 

[CountryRoads]

No, they aren't.

I couldn't help but notice that some clown has Kentucky (8-14) in the field as an at-large.
