Seems to be working our just fine for X.

Yes because we all know that the first half of the first season is how you judge a coaching decision.

It was a mere prediction. One I could be wrong about.

+1 Xavier's ranked out of nowhere after a struggle with Steele. They needed a win not a "he went here" feel good story

They were ranked for a good portion of last season. They collapsed down the stretch. Returned Kunkel, Nunge, Jones, Fremantle. Don't think it's out of nowhere at all.

Unfortunately, I think you will be.

About to turn into a ref show in Lawrence. TCU was up like 32-17 and Self took a T. Immediately they go to the line. A couple possessions later Wilson starts to attempt a 3, realizes it's contested, puts the ball down and ends up setting up Dick for a wide open 3. Couple minutes later and TCU hits a 3 and they T up the kid for smiling towards the Kansas bench as he ran down the court. Didn't say a word and didn't stop to pimp it, was just smiling as he ran back.

It was actually 37-15. Then a immediate 11-0 kansas run

Miami vs Duke was a wild finish. DUke looked like us trying to grab a rebound and Miami simply couldnt make a basket. It finally just went out of bounds for Dukes ball.

TCU by 23?  Wow.

TCU by 23?  Wow.

Biggest home loss and biggest Big 12 loss since Shaka beat them by 25 at the Phog in 2021.

I've been impressed with TCU and Iowa St. the few times I've seen them Brew.

And that game didn't have a crowd.

Looks like Mick Cronin's big 10 offensive strategy isn't gonna work today.

Arizona meltdown is something.

Baylor grinds out a 2pt win against the Fighting Mosers.

Boy hiring Bo Ryan's kid has worked out great for UWGB. Tonight they were outscored by 30 points in the second half at home by Robert Morris to fall to 2-19.

360 out of 363 in KenPom

Only teams worse are Hartford (dropping a level), IUPUI is an institutional mess at the moment and LIU hired Rod Strickland late in the summer

[The Sultan]

Good think for GB that IUPUI is in the same conference - that was good for one of their wins.

If Indiana can get and stay healthy (Thompson/Johnson), they are going to be very dangerous in March.

Easy to score on Sparty inside

IU has been rolling the last 3 games.    Really refocused on defense.    And giving TJD the ball.

I can't wait to see tjd stat line after the Minnesota game lol

[Uncle Rico]

In its loss to Indiana, Michigan State had 6 assists on 23 makes.

Sparty is 37 in KenPom after finishing 42nd last year and 64th the year before.

The previous 3 seasons before this stretch, Sparty was a top-10 team

Sad!

Temple goes to Houston and beats the Cougars

[The Thing]

At halftime of the IU game the studio guys talked a bit about Marquette. Very positive, fun to watch play offense, etc.

Holy Crap.
