From the first couple of weeks of basketball the big 10 has been disappointing. One could argue they look like the 5th or 6th best conference as a whole. Highly concerning early on

A much needed win for Michigan st

Rough 2 days for my alma mater. Scott buries a 3 to tie it up with 7 secs and Stanford comes down and drains a 3 to win it.

Very concerning. We don't look to be able to get enough quality wins for a high seed come March.

Louisville is long, fast, and super athletic.

Creans teams have historically done very poorly in these types of games.

I'm relatively confident vs UNC because of home court.

I think Louisville could embarrass us. We turn it over at the drop without pressure. Add Louisville length and pressure and it could be a bad recipe.

And to add about L'ville, this years team is a great pressure applying team.

Louisville is going to be a problem for a lot of top teams this year. North Carolina and Louisville have been the 2 best teams this year and it might not be close. If Snyder and Mitchell are not hitting Louisville can possible struggle but their defense will keep them in every game

The quality wins will be there. Any road game wins vs wisky, Michigan st, Purdue will always look nice in march. Iu will just have to take advantage.

Wear Virginia has erased a 20 pt half time deficit and are tied with 9 min to go

The weakness of Louisville most years is their inability to hit outside shots. If we are anywhere close in fast break points/points off turnovers we should win that game. The problem is we'll turn it over 30 times, give up 50 points off turnovers, and Crean will talk about needing to play faster in the post game presser.

I hope we play smart, attack the pressure, and force Louisville to foul

Agree. Need to have our pg situation fixed by then. Im more concerned about UNC. They look very good right now. Still think we prevail at home though.

Great game here from 2 athletic teams. Baylor wasn't supposed to be good from preseason estimates. Quickly climbing.
