Dook is looking pretty legit, clicking on offense. Would love to see them play Auburn or Florida.

Pretty sure few people thought that Mahaney transferring would be good for St. Mary's and bad for UConn.

I didn't think that

But I did think he was overrated as Fu ck

Just saw on ESPN bottom line about the Weasels:

Had 98.9% win probability up 15 points with 7:30 left.

Getting it done. Pretty easily.

I would like to be clear.

That my hatred of the inefficient jackassery of Joplin, is not a bias.

The fact that for 5 years I have had to try and watch people try and justify Caleb Love is maddening.

He is Jop. Love dribbles better. Jop is strong and defends better.

We gotta stop the volume scoring epidemic. Scoring 15 a game on 37% sucks. Objectively. Like ride some pine.

This Arizona/BYU game is some high quality hoops.

These 2 teams are far advanced from where they were earlier in the season. Both have taken a leap.

My goodness...it just keeps getting better.

They look much better than when they lost back to back games at Atlantis.

15-4 since the end of November with wins over some damn good teams, Iowa State being one of them.

They look pretty good. This game in general is unbelievable though. Elite shot making everywhere.

[GoldenEagles03]

This guy is...or uh...was still playing!?

BYU's coach Kevin Young worked with the Phoenix Suns and he brings a very pro-style offense, similar to what Nevada Smith has integrated here. It looks a lot different for BYU right now because they have shooters all over the floor and a real lob threat. This is some high level stuff and a very well structured offensive roster.

They beat Auburn at Cameron. 

[Viper]

Welfare check on Viper.   As abusive as his BIL is, I can see the BIL taking out his frustrations on poor Viper. 

thx bro. I gots 88-74 in the bank and believe me it's earning interest!👍

[brewcity77]

Analytics love Houston again. But theyve lose close games and are mid when I watch. And idk Ill believe it when I see that they finally break through to final 4.

But they are def deserving of being among teams with best odds

Houston was in the Final 4 in 2021, not even 4 years ago.

I didn't realize Dexter Akanno is still playing.

They beat Auburn at Cameron. 

ah well heck, I'm sold on Dook then!

Remember, his Badgers beat them and he proclaimed they were a top 2 B1G team, easily, after the game because of it. Then they lost to everyone. Has to hype up that win somehow.

Once a clown always a clown. Big Ten to Big East to Sun Belt.  That concussion may have done something to him mentally. Getting an early start for his career in Bosnia. Has a kid on the way too.

If you would take a second to read you would be able to comprehend that "taking a leap" means they are far better than they were to start the season. Leave it to Wades to bring UW into this. Had nothing to do with anything.

I was more impressed with BYU last night, but Arizona is definitely a different team than they were in November when they lost 4 of their 1st 7.

Arizona has lost 3 of their last 4.

[GoldenEagles03]

Arizona has lost 3 of their last 4.

Yup, and before that won 13 of 14. Life in the Big 12.

They still have talent to make noise. My point is that they have taken a leap since November and that is absolutely true. They look good.

[GoldenEagles03]

This is awesome!

A number of conferences have something similar. At least at times they have. Only issue I see is they are playing games for seven straight nights.

Ya that is brutal, but for a small conference that only gets 1 bid, I love how they reward the teams that finish at the top of the standings. The difficulty of your path is created by your results. Gives the regular season actual meaning!
