Toughness could win, and Houston is tough, but I'm not overly impressed with their offensive game. I thought, relative to the field, Houston was better last year ... and that didn't work out for them even though they could have had a relatively easy path with all the tourney upsets. We'll see about this time. It still looks WIDE open to me; I see no reason to believe that Marquette (if healthy) doesn't have just about as good a chance.

As a coach whose players often aren't very good at executing things seconds after I draw them up, I was heartened to see Houston's All-America candidate completely ignore the instructions of a Hall of Fame-worthy coach and chuck up an airball at the end of regulation. Man, was Sampson pizzed!

Of course, my kids are middle-schoolers who just forget what they're supposed to do. Jamal Shead is a few years out of middle school, so I'm not sure what his excuse was.

Tenn lost to South C at home. GA Tech up 1 late vs Carolina.

UNC is NOT a 1seed.

I am good with Davis at UNC. I think he'll be just good enough not to get fired.

FairWeatherEagle · « **Reply #1506 on:** January 30, 2024, 08:27:33 PM »

Was keeping my eye on that unc game (don't like them anyway) but a lot has to happen for 5-6 teams to come back to us. So that GT win is good. But l'm thinking we have to win BE and tourney no more than 1 more loss to get a 1. High 2 ok too.

Vander Blue Man Group · « **Reply #1507 on:** January 30, 2024, 08:30:20 PM »

TN loses at home to South Carolina as well.

Pretty good game on CBSSN. Although it's with Gillen. CSU/SDSU.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #1509 on:** January 30, 2024, 08:47:13 PM »

I know it's early but I think two #1 seeds are wide open. I would be surprised if UCONN and Purdue fall off that line.

Gillen + MWC basketball = Hard Pass.

Hopefully there's some love for MU hoops on Inside College Basketball coming up on CBSSN.

They probably still are. Even with the loss, Tennessee also lost and there's a gap between UNC and Arizona/Wisconsin/Marquette right now.

Tennessee lost to a much better team even though it was on their home floor.

It would also take a lot for Houston to fall off the 1 line. The top 3 teams have separated from the field.

The 2nd tier is from 4-9. UNC, Arizona, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Marquette, and Kansas.

That's the group competing for the last 1 seed, all of the 2 seeds, and the top 3 seed.

Northwestern up 1 with 5:28 to go at Purdue.

PGsHeroes32 · « **Reply #1517 on:** January 31, 2024, 07:21:28 PM »

Purdue with 28 free throw attempts

Northwestern has 2

But Purdue keeps missing free throws. Empty possessions.

Edey putting some massive arc on his and they struggled to even make it to the rim

30 to 2?????? That's freaking insane.

MU82 · « **Reply #1521 on:** January 31, 2024, 07:26:57 PM »

It is, but since I put this on, Northwestern has done just about nothing but launch 3s.

I just got home abd turned it on but I've never heard a stat like that.

Providence, MU, last year.

PGsHeroes32 · « **Reply #1524 on:** January 31, 2024, 07:29:35 PM »

Obviously Edey is run away player of the year.

But mean mugging a guy a foot shorter than him because he dunked over his back doesnt deserve the praise he thinks he does.
