Creighton is a solid team.   Preseason top 8 team to start the year.  Last year was 1 basket away from the Final 4.  Then their starting point guard decides to transfer to the Zags instead of running back a team that close to the final 4.    This team is good.   Ken Pom top 25 offense and defense.   McDermott can coach.  When his offense is clicking it’s must see TV 
Creighton would smoke us

Well yeah a top 15 team that went to the elite 8 last year  would smoke a struggling program.   Not breaking any news there.  What’s the point of saying it in this thread you got plenty of other threads to bash the program

Butler playing themselves out of the tournament.  Third straight loss -- none are bad losses (to Marquette, Creighton, and at Villanova) but they are failing to rack up wins.  16-11 now but one of those was a D2 opponent, so 15-11 on team sheet.  Last four regular season games are at Seton Hall, St. John's, at DePaul, Xavier.  DePaul should be a gimmee -- would think they need two of the other three.

Tom Izzo has built a very good program at Michigan State and is a coaching great.  However, over the last few years I can't help but feel that he's underachieved with very talented rosters.  


Agree, the MSU “run” seems to be slowing.

Their AP pre-season rank was 4th in the country, he had the core of last years team returning plus a good recruiting class (Booker/Fears/Coen) and here they are at 17-10 while losing at home last night vs Iowa.

Seems like a good fit.  Although, after Arizona, I'm a little surprised Sean is leaving Xavier.  Who gets Xavier?  Holtmann or Mack?

Holtmann is an obvious choice, I think he would like a BE job again but he might have run through a lot of his goodwill in Ohio. Mack would be welcomed back with open arms. What's with all the boomerang Big East coaches damn

Honestly much happier OSU is getting Sean miller than McDermott. McDermott would’ve had them scary with all their NIL. I can’t say I’ve watched much Xavier this year but they look pretty average.

Idk, Sean Miller had a pretty good machine humming at Arizona before everything hit the fan... could definitely see him recreating that in Columbus
