Pitt is as good as they can be, today.

Their rebounding is insane and a weakness for Duke without Jefferson.

Love the constant booing that Allen receives.  I hope that continues the rest of his collegiate career.

Seton Hall knocked off Xavier, a few days after Xavier beat #1 Villanova. What's is college basketball this year.

Whitehead finished with 22 points, but went 5/15 with 8 turnovers

Dukie getting poopied....on

I expect Iowa to lose now since Duke will probably lose this game. Good things happen for Indiana on the days Duke or Kentucky loses games.

I know this is a moot point and maybe a tired argument, but I still think Xavier would have 3-4 more losses if they played in a conference like the B12, B10, or ACC. They are impressive, but no better than the tops of those conferences imo.

Thats probably truth, but, we will never know for certain.

This is an arse-whoopin', Dukie.

Just one of those games we can't hit and Pitt is shooting 472828262728262%

Honestly, if you're not playing in the B1G or the ACC, I will doubt you come
Tourney time.

This is based solely on this years B1G and ACC.

Man, Indiana has really improved this year. Just think, back in December we were losing to teams like Duke, and they're terrible!

Just kidding BlueDevil... You guys are broken without Jefferson. And Allen is bringing the team all of the bad karma

Did he just mention indiana as a possible 1 seed?

Just a weird year. I'll be happy with a sweep of UNC. Some days we look like world beaters and other days we look like Rutgers. Starting to think Jefferson takes the medical red shirt.

Sure did. With a BTT title I don't think it's that crazy. (I also don't see that happening)

I would say iu has to win out and make it to semis of BTT for it to be taken real serious

Agreed. A lot of scary teams that I wouldn't want to play come tourney time from both conferences.

Yeah the winning out part is big because those would be 2 impressive wins. Even just making it to the semis would still be pretty iffy for a 1 seed.

If IU wins out and makes the semis that would probably be good for a 3 seed depending on how other teams finish out.  That would be a good win on the road against a protected top 4 seed, another win against a likely protected seed, and an okay neutral court win against a likely bubble team.

They'd be fine in the Big Ten. The Big 12 is just really tough and you have to play everyone twice. You don't have to in the B1G or ACC.
