IU, Iowa, Illinois, maybe Purdue and Wisconsin, and Rutgers if they can get healthy.

Those are my top of the B1G so far.

And Ohio state is a wild card depending on how the younger kids develop

Forgot about OSU. They look quite good too

Arizona looks top 5-10 to me without question. That game will be tough.

Kansas, UNC, Duke all clearly very good but look at least vulnerable and seemingly less intimidating.

Our NonCon big games will hold value and seem to be gaining value.

Arizona has looked far better than KU or UNC. I know KU is a true roadie so we can’t expect to win but they haven’t looked great. UNC looks like they did for much of the regular season last year, uninterested. We should win that one.

Arizona is us with bigger bigs playing better and guards who have been scoring. That one will be tough at a “neutral” site.

I see you’ve changed your opinion on Illinois and Purdue?

Michigan state at full strength and Ohio State right in the mix.

Purdue, Wisconsin, Iowa are similar in they have strong coaches with identities that seem to regularly outperform expectations. Painter has recently received the Izzo treatment by the press where they just expect him to figure it out. Gard, if he keeps outperforming, will get that label soon enough.

I like Indiana roster best this year. Illinois is next for me. Iowa is better than I gave credit for. Ohio State I thought would be solid. Good coach, good roster. Sensabaugh a surprise this early. Thornton isn’t too impressive but he’s steady, especially as a freshman.

I still think that Edey won’t hold up at 30 minutes a game , and that they are an Edey injury away from being a 10th Pl. or worse conference team.

Heck, 10th place might be good enough for the Boilers to get in anyway.  lol

Siena defends like their lives literally depend on it.

Seth Greenberg just compared TJD to Domantas Sabonis which is possibly one of the worst comparisons I’ve ever heard?

Both lefties and…….played basketball in the state of Indiana?

If that's his standard, maybe Wayman Tisdale would've checked his boxes a little better. lol

As much as I hate to say it, even with my boys being their fans, I can't rule out Sparty.

Don’t be a bit surprised that they beat Duke.

Agreed, I haven't watched as many games as a lot of you, but Arizona is the best looking team I've seen so far. 

[RaceToTheTop 30,523]

Portland taking it to Villanova.  Portland up 35-27 at half and starts the second half with an 8-0 run to now lead by 16 with 17 minutes left.

Doubt it, top 5 teams would either have to lose to a really bad team or lose twice. The other top 10 teams are either going to win or probably won't fall enough losing to ranked/good opponents. We'll probably be passed by Arizona as they move into the top 10 after winning Maui and I don't see Creighton falling much after losing to a really good Arizona team in the Maui final. Maybe stay in the same spot?

[RaceToTheTop 30,523]

Under 12 minute time out and Portland leads Villanova 56-40.

[RaceToTheTop 30,523]

Six minutes left, Portland 11.
