Technically they have a win over one of the top four teams in the Big 1.o (Maryland) and they have 4 of their remaining 7 regular season games against top 4* Big 1.o teams. They have a couple of noncon wins against teams ranked higher in the NET than any Big 1.o teams too.

Maryland absolutely handling Minny

The opposite of that is they beat a [now ranked] Marquette team, lost by 1 against Rutger, and 5 to us on the road. They're 8-2 in quad 1 wins, 4-0, 5-0, 5-0 in the other quads. I don't think they're the best team but deserving of #1 ranking.

Didn't receive an offer. They wouldn't let me work remote, who would have thought! I would add another prediction league win to my signature but can't figure out where I changed it. Good to know BtownBanners is trying to load malware on my laptop though!

There's a reason purdoodoo is finding some success with Painter running the show.

9/10 creativity for Gallo but 2/10 for execution. We need to get him some surf lessons!

Reneau didn't seem to be afraid to go right at Edey and use his little baby hook. Really great poise.

Way to hang on and get the W!! Way to rush the court too!!

Edey sat on that like he was trying to hatch it

Bates turned his back to the ball or they could have switched that

Good take, keep going at him

This seemed to work in the first half. Let's get back to it. It feels like we have collective ADHD where we go away from stuff that worked and just start f'ng around for shits and gigs.

There it is!!! Get out and run!!

Let's run these MFers out of Assembly Hall!! They're rattled!!!

Why JHS gotta hit Reneau in the face tho?

Good take by TJD. He needs to go strong every time down.

That's 2 on Edey right?!

Appears Big 1.o officials were in Knoxville today as Auburn - Tennessee submitted their application for the Big 1.o.

Getting Race out of the paint and run some high PnR with JHS and TJD would be a good start. I hope we attack the paint and can somehow get Edey in foul trouble. That would allow us to then go into the post with TJD.

Big 1.o showing out on the big stage while the announcers were joking about how offensively challenged the teams were in the first half.

Thank you for the information! Where are you pulling this from? I'd like to see this broken down by games or types of games (noncon vs. conference). I feel there is some excellent data points here. This shows what I was explaining above. We're getting 0.5 shooting fouls drawn/game out of 3 guards/wings (Galloway, Kopp, Bates) per game in ~76 minutes.

Didn't Schlundt win a natty too? I believe most of them won Big 1.o championships and made it to at least the Sweet 16. Maybe AJ Guyton didn't?

I don't think other teams are committing the same fouls but they are fouling. I'd love to see the stats for our drives that end with a shot at the rim compared to our opponents. I have a feeling that gap would be pretty telling. We typically have a few dribbles into a pull up jumper or go with the floater. Our attempts around the rim are of the post up variety. Maybe TJD should be getting fouled more but he goes into spurts where he doesn't go at the rim, when he does he's been much better. Ditto for Race and Reneau. Edit: I believe part of the issue is too much activity in the lane and our inability to space the floor. I didn't really watch JHS in high school or AAU but I would think he could get to and finish around the rim much better than what has been displayed. Gallo has that ability with angles when he catches his defender in the wrong position but I don't feel like we've seen that as much this season.
