Bidunga has looked better than I thought he would’ve just based on what I’ve read here, having not actually watched him in HS. Queen looks like something special though. And thank goodness we didn’t end up with Xavier Booker.

Yes, Bidunga is very active. Woulda been a great high-energy post off the bench. Ton of upside for the future.

Danny Hurley's inability to control himself helped UConn lose yesterday. 

If Kansas loses tonight, Hunter Dickinson's inability to control himself definitely will be a factor. 

Self is an incredibly smart guy and I’ll never understand why he went all in on Dickinson. You’re never winning anything with him.

Houston/Bama had an Elite 8 feeling to it while watching it.  
with all the other great matchups some probably missed SMU/ CA Baptist ending.   No one in the building for the invitational they were playing in but the game was tied when SMU hit a floater with 2 sec to go.  
 

delivering all day and still have 3 games to go

Gonna need Indiana to work a quarter as hard as Houston and Auburn work. If our talent played as hard as these teams we’d be incredible.

Good lord, please don’t give us a pissed off Mark Few Gonzaga team tomorrow on thanksgiving. 

At this rate, I'm not thrilled about a WVU team with something to prove after giving Gonzaga a big test. 

I suppose Gonzaga would be better for SOS but at this point does it really matter... 

Anywho, should be a fun finish to this game.

It still matters.   IU needed  to play the Zags for their non con sos. Doesn’t matter if it’s in the loser bracket or not.  IU will still have a chance to be a team that  can be solidly in the tourney they just clearly are not a team that is a threat to win the whole thing.  Game stunk but at the end of the day it’s still just one game.    Team is limited in a how good they can be but they can still be a team that can compete in a weak B1G and possibly win a first round game

Not being snarky when I ask this genuine question because I know you're a numbers guy... 

What sort of difference would it make on SOS metrics if we lost to WVU vs. lost to Gonzaga? or winning vs. WVU compared to a close loss or blow out to Gonzaga? Do we really need it to be Gonzaga regardless because of where they're likely to finish the year since we aren't playing many top non-con teams this year? 

Always appreciate your insights on the board USPS.

Indiana now already Kenpom 58. Lol.

I think I saw their projection for KenPom now is 16-13(8-12).   I doubt that happens but that’s a big change from just 1 big blowout game
