TJD, Race, Brooks, and Jordan G would be a helluva front line.

I watched a few minutes of that game and Brooks impressed me during the stretch. He has put on a little bulk, was rebounding, and doing some things at mid-level. I would love for him to come here next year.

It’s easy to see when he goes for 20 and 10! Lol

On a regular basis, he plays with a high motor and has reasonably good form on his outside shot. I also saw his post game interview on behalf of his teammates yesterday. He did not look happy at all. “Losing sucks“ was his primary take away.

Well, yeah! But I honestly didn’t know his stat line. I watched maybe three minutes. It was all eye test and he passed! With free again you starting next year I wonder if this Keion to IU train could build any steam.

If Trayce stays? Sure.

TJD and KBJ are really close. Armaan too

On Stanford, on Iowa, on Providence and Maryland. On Comet and Cupid and Penn State and Butler!

The numbers say those are wonderful wins but Providence, Maryland, Penn State and Butler... Not very good of teams this season. Especially Butler.

Not sure about all of them being "wonderful wins", but I agree to a certain extent. 

However, under the tourney metrics, those are all 'quality' wins. No question that the two Iowa wins and the Stanford win are the best ones. Moreover, Butler, Providence, Penn State and Butler all have very high level games left on their schedule, and can continue to help themselves help us to resume build.

Numbers don’t say Butler is a wonderful win.   Numbers say it’s a Q3 win.   Maryland and Penn St are in the conversation for an at-large bid at this time.  Some have Maryland projected as a tourney team as of today and if they beat Ohio St tonight I will have them projected in.   Penn St is a good team that has played a brutal and I mean brutal schedule.  13 of their 15 games are against top 50 net teams.  Numbers say they are a decent team and the eye test tells me they are a decent team.   The thing with eye test is you actually have to watch them play for people to use the eye test argument.  I’ve seen all but 2 of their games.   Providence is struggling right now but Cooley is a great coach I would never count him out. My guess is they turn it around.  Even if they don’t a neutral court win over them is a solid win

UNCG/Furman at 5 on espn+
Going to be a late one tonight with Zags at BYU starting at 11.  Probably best chance for the Zags to lose before the tournament unless Few schedules a non conference game if they have a break in the schedule

I really have no idea, but it seems to me that kind of transfer would be pretty rare. To have recruited someone as hard as we did Brooks, and then have him go somewhere else, especially Kentucky, may have damaged relationships beyond repair. Egos being what they are, I just have a hard time seeing it happening.

If Penn State is in conversation for an at large bid.. then every team in the nation is.

Not really.   Not every team in the nation has played their schedule and has 5 top 5 wins on of those being on road.  At the end of the day they are going to need the wins to get an at-large bid but if you are comparing their resume to others it’s in the conversation.   Don’t take my word for it look at every national bracketologist and they will have them in their first 4 out or next 4 out.   Even on the national broadcast last night when they showed IU’s tournament resume Penn St was listed as a quality win

Much more fitting conversation for February instead of January.

Their resume is non existent until they get above .500. Luckily for them, they play Michigan State and Nebraska the next two games. Unlucky part, is that they are the exact team who can lose both.
