Cuonzo out at Mizzou. Freeing up a new spot for Crean to land when UGA fires him.

I think you fell for a parody account.

Oops, mea cupla.

Parody or not, Crean's next spot is behind a desk and in front of a camera.  He's not gonna get a good P5 job straight away.  And I don't know that a mid 50s coach who loves the spotlight with stops at BE, SEC, and B10 schools wants to coach in the MVC or CUSA.  He's good in studio, he's seemingly gotten more relatable and likeable over the last 5+ years, he'd be a good fit at ESPN/FS1/CBS

Badgers do it again.  And without being carried by Davis.

They have a ton of Q1 wins.

[tower912]

Well done.  Way to know your role.

Bottom half of the Big ten we were told.

Wisconsin is 14-1 with Johnny Davis in the lineup and this team has a RESUME.

Badgers now own SEVEN Quad 1 wins --- the most in college basketball.

Only loss at full strength is at Ohio State.

When the Zags are clicking on offense, they are a beautiful watch

100%.  He's really good at it.

Oregon/UCLA was crazy last night. Ducks lost a 6 point lead with 25 seconds left. Had to re-win it in ot last night.

Can someone explain how Michigan has such good Kenpom metrics still? Skimming their season I really don't get it. Do they still have preseason numbers baked in due to so few games played?

1. All of their wins are by double digits. Besides one game against #287 Prairie View A&M, all of their wins are against top 175 opponents. Winning by 37 against #140 Southern Utah and 35 at #156 Nebraska is covering up a lot of blemishes. Blowing out mediocre but not bad opponents is good for your score, a bit of a flaw in the system.

2. Their losses aren't "good" but none are "bad" either. Losing by 10 to #77 Minnesota at home is probably the worst one in KP's eyes.

3. 7/8 of their four factor numbers look solid. The only one that doesn't is defensive TO% (they don't force turnovers) which ranks 344th. 4 of the others are top 70 in the country (including the two most important ones eFG% and eFG% allowed), 5 are top 100 and 6 are top 150.

The numbers suggest that they are better than their record shows....but their 1-6 record against top 100 teams may mean that they can fatten their numbers on mediocre teams but will get beat by the good ones.

Purdue went on a 17-0 run on Illinois.

Up 11 at half.

Would be nice if Illinois could realize there's a game going on

[PGsHeroes32]

Great comeback by Illinois to force OT.

Curbelo is back.

[tower912]

Stupid Purdue.

[PGsHeroes32]

WVU once down 15. Gets up 3 against Baylor.

Proceeded to start launching contested 3s.

They also have missed no joke maybe 13 straight lay ups/tap ins.
