AJ Styles is good enough that he can carry a match in which he is trying to make his opponent look good. LA Knight is good on the mic but his ring work is meh.

The street profits “Philadelphia Street Fight” might have been the worst match in wrestlemania history. Even the tables didn’t do their job.

Wolf is a decent player but he really struggled when he played against good non-Ivy League teams -- 11 of 39 from the field against Gonzaga, Kansas, Auburn, and San Diego State. In terms of his fit with IU, it depends on what you want from the 4 and 5 next year. If you want Reneau at the 5 and Mgbako at the 4 so as not to clog the lane on offense, than obviously Wolf isn't in that lineup. Wolf would be an okay rim protector at the P5 level, but nothing more than that. He is a good rebounder and if you want Reneau at the 4 and not the 5, Wolf and Reneau could probably play together as Wolf does possess a perimeter game.

Of course, Tyme could simply be employed in some capacity with the Daily Hoosier and is using his own story on TDH to 'prove' his own theories. Adragna is likely just going off the story published in TDH to say that IU and Wolf are in talks. Hi, NGW. Let's see how you can't quit us as you throw a hissy fit and tweet from this board that you 'left'. NGW to BTownbanners:

Lot of West Coast flair on that list and he is from Los Angeles. Would be surprised if he ended up at Michigan or Davidson based on that list.

The issues in the past had been with undergrad admissions. I think if he graduated from FAU -- I assume he would have since he was there four years -- I'm not sure it would be.

Which Davis? From Butler? Arkansas? Elsewhere?

I'll win my pool if U Conn wins and there are 148 or more points in the final.

Currently, Pom: U Conn by 3 (75-72). Might change slightly after they input the game against Alabama.

Final WAR ratings for the season going into the title game. U Conn reaches #1 (finally overtaking Purdue) for the first time since I started putting it together in late January. The winner of the title game will end the season at #1 in WAR and the lose will be #2. Listing all teams that finished with a positive WAR. U Conn 36-3, WAR +14.77 Purdue 34-4, +14.73 Houston 32-5, +12.34 Illinois 29-9, +8.65 UNC 29-8, +8.42 Tennessee 27-9, +8.02 Iowa State 28-8, +7.69 Marquette 27-10, +7.67 Arizona 27-8, +7.30 Auburn 27-8, +6.89 Alabama 25-12, +6.81 Duke 27-9, +5.96 South Carolina 26-8, +5.72 Creighton 25-10, +5.69 Baylor 23-11, +5.65 Kansas 27-11, +5.04 Utah State 26-7, +4.97 Indiana State 31-7, +4.82 San Diego State 24-11, +4.78 Clemson 24-12, +4.59 Colorado 26-11, +4.33 Dayton 25-8, +4.27 Texas Tech 23-11, +4.15 Florida 24-12, +4.07 Washington State 25-9, +4.02 Seton Hall 25-12, +4.01 Nevada 25-8, +3.97 Gonzaga 26-8, +3.80 Wisconsin 22-14, +3.73 Kentucky 23-9, +3.59 Oregon 24-12, +3.38 BYU 23-11, +3.34 James Madison 31-4, +3.16 Nebraska 23-11, +3.15 Drake 27-7, +3.14 New Mexico 25-10, +3.13 Colorado State 23-11, +3.12 Northwestern 22-12, +2.92 North Carolina State 26-15, +2.91 Florida Atlantic 25-9, +2.82 Virginia 23-11, +2.76 St. Mary's 25-8, +2.66 Grand Canyon 29-5, +2.59 Texas 21-13, +2.58 Oklahoma 20-12, +2.09 McNeese State 26-4, +2.02 Boise State 20-11, +1.96 Pittsburgh 22-11, +1.95 Michigan State 20-15, +1.86 Texas A&M 21-15, +1.80 Mississippi State 21-14, +1.72 Princeton 22-5, +1.49 Duquesne 24-12, +1.44 Syracuse 19-12, +1.42 TCU 21-13, +1.39 Ohio State 22-14, +1.30 St. John's 20-13, +1.25 Utah 22-15, +1.22 Cincinnati 22-15, +1.22 Mississippi 20-12, +1.16 Indiana 19-14, +0.99 Kansas Staet 19-15, +0.85 Samford 27-6, +0.84 Providence 21-14, +0.81 South Florida 25-8, +0.76 Memphis 22-10, +0.76 Iowa 19-15, +0.69 Richmond 23-10, +0.25 Wake Forest 21-14, +0.03

The line was U Conn by 11.5, so review wouldn't have changed anything. But a pretty needless review

U Conn/Purdue final. If Purdue had to reach the finals, they have to play the team we wanted them to.

Well, maybe not, but still an 8 point game with 2 1/2 left.

That should do it.

Getting tripped and tripping aren't the same thing

Not a great game for Clingan.

In the Purdue/NC State game they let them play physical as well....hardly any fouls called.

Sears is going to be good at the next level

I will say that with Clingan out, Johnson is playing really good defense.

The stat that they showed where their only losses were when opponents shot 50% from three....wow. And Alabama is currently 10 of 18 from three and is losing. For reference, Purdue lost a game where Wisconsin was 7 of 32 from three.

Alabama within 1 or tied, U Conn back up 8. Rinse, repeat.

These refs.......

Corey Washington, St. Peter's 6'6" forward. 15.9 points, 6.3 rebounds. Shot 46/31/77.

You can think about U Conn having a 4 point lead at half a number of ways, but IMO the fact that Alabama is 8 of 11 at half from three and is down would not make me feel good as a Bama fan.

Number of players yelling at refs on obvious calls is astounding.
