not sure I guided anyone in life choices, I stated what I would do if I was in that situation.

if I was in your situation about not finding anything enjoyable to watch about this team( not even Hartman?) I would probaly find a second team to watch until it started being enjoyable again. I feel bad for people who can't enjoy watching their favorite team play. While this team and coach does things I don't find enjoyable, there is also moments where I like the fight, and toughness when things are not going well. Hopefully they will play better so you can enjoy watching them again

Good stuff indyhutch. I think you meant Temple beat a ranked Uconn team(on the road) Tuesday night. Creighton( another team we a beat) beat a good Georgetown team on Tuesday

@JonRothstein Vanderbilt looks like the biggest disappointment in college basketball thus far. Dores are now 8-6 overall after tonight's loss at Arkansas. what a difference a month and half makes. At the time it looked like a missed opportunity for our strength of schedule to play Vanderbilt(although the computer numbers still like them). Wake forest is their best win so far. The ups and downs of a college basketball season is fasinating to watch.

This is been a heavyweight battle. Defiantly has lived up to the hype. Tied at 94 with 2 min to go in 2ot. Works going to suck in the morning

2 top 4 teams will lose tonight Virginia tech just beat Virginia

2 tv's kind of night. Virginia tech up 8 on Virginia with under 4 to play

39 Pts 23 Rebs final stats for Johnson (Paige had 30 as well)

Bryce Johnson is having himself a game for North Carolina, he has 32 pt and 18 Rebs with 8 min to go

@JayBilas Tomorrow's game v. LSU, Ben Simmons (9pm ESPN) will be first time Kentucky has faced the #1 overall recruit since Harrison Barnes, UNC.

Im excited for the big boy matchup tonight with Oklahoma at Kansas. This is a must watch for hoops junkies. i love the fact that these 2 teams are top 5 and have gone about it different ways. Kansas has so much talent that they can afford to play 2 five star kids just 10 min each and still smack Baylor around. They have developed talent over 4 years as well (Ellis and mason) but most recognize Kansas with 5 star players. Oklahoma on the other hand has gotten to be top 5 without a single starter that was a top 100 recruit. Kruger has done an excellent job developing players (so has self). Oklahoma has the seniors you see at mid major schools that make a run in the tourney. I think Kansas wins at home but hopefully it will be close.

should make for a fantastic march madness I can't wait

Colorado wins an entertaining game at Stanford. Colorado is an under the radar team that people might not know about. Only losses are on road to Iowa st, smu, and California

@JonRothstein Not sure if I've ever seen a season where rankings are more meaningless in college basketball. Polls will fluctuate all season long. I was saying in another thread I didn't think there was much separation between teams in 15-40 range. Looks like Jon agrees

Good game at the yum center Louisville is up 1 on Wake with 6 min to go

Thanks Pap As someone who follows recruiting closely in all of college basketball, I appreciate all of your hard work

Good one in Columbus, Ohio st up 3 on Illinois with 6 min to go

the next 7 games are extremely important in my opinion for us to start building a resume. If you are a ken Pom guy 4 of the next 7 are against ken Pom top 62 teams and another agaisnt Illinois (122). The 2 Minnesota games are must wins to avoid a bad loss( and to gain another road win). If u are an rpi guy( not enough data for it to be used yet) , which the committee will use 5 of the next 7 games are against too 100 teams (Illinois in top 100)

if that happen at least you would be watching a top 15 team

in my opinion there is not that much separation from teams ranked from 15 through 40. Most teams that fall in this category have flaws they need to improve. If iu was to win the next 7 games like he pointed out then it would not be a stretch to see them in the top 15-25. For me I'm not concerned with what ranking is beside the name I'm more concerned about the team improving as the season moves on. The one ranking I do look forward to is the one at the end of the year when the committee shows their s-curve seed ranking ( ranking the teams in the tounament 1-68)

@dandakich Coach Knight used to read letters/telegrams to us from people all over the state explaining that "These are the people we represent" 1/2 So assuming Coach Knight really felt that way I'm guessing he will be there.. I put this in this thread because I'm sure it's the most viewed

@JonRothstein Indiana has a combined 37 turnovers in its first two Big Ten games. Hoosiers need to take better care of the ball. Averaging 15 TPG. #iubb
