Why is Louisville so bad, is their talent level comparable to Crean's first few years here? 

Or is Payne just that terrible of a coach?

Talent level is horrid.

That is Uof6's 1st win outside of quad 4. 

Is there a record for largest single day fall in NET? Clemson has a good chance to break it.

Clemson lost 13 spots 67 --> 80

Uof6 went from 324 --> 307

IU dropped a spot, damn Illini lowering us down to their level

I have to say the Michigan and Michigan State game last night was much more than just a rivalry game. Sure inside the lines they may be competitors but outside the lines you're not only friends but you're also family and in the aftermath of events it's about how you respond. Have to give credit to Michigan for what happened before the game and said we're all in this together.

Depends how someone would look at it.  They have plenty of top 100 4 Star kids and highly ranked junior colleges kids but for me I agree just because they had 4 stars next to their the name doesn’t mean they are suppose to be good.    Lands is a top 60 kid that played for 4 different high school teams and I think committed to Cuse before he decommitted and went to Louisville. Huntley-Hatfield was a former 5 star at Tennessee that hasn’t worked out just yet.

California has to be the worst P-5 team in college basketball, right? 

Probably. Their HC, Mark Fox, is a solid coach. Had a very good run at Nevada and an ok one at Georgia. But the school’s de-prioritized sports and stopped making academic allowances for athletes. So they basically can’t get anybody in. The same thing’s happening in football.

Tarris Reed coming out party.
Kid has been incredible for Michigan 

Not looking forward to dealing with him for 2 more years but at least we have Reneau in tow to comfort the thought.

Has to be between California and Louisville.

Cal is 262 in Kenpom. Lville is 277.  Lville has moved up some from when they were right at about 300.

 

For reference, IU was 209 Crean’s first year.

North Carolina/NC State is a really big game, especially for North Carolina who is firmly on the bubble.  Even if they are on the right side, probably one of the first teams to get booted with automatic qualifiers.

Not great talent level, but they lost to Bellarmine, Wright State, Appalachian State, and Lipscomb.  They should be at least winning some games where the talent they have should be enough to win.

Apparently ESPN is Morrie'ing everyone to death.

They definitely had the worst luck possible to start the season. Lost their first 3 games by a combined 3 points.

UNC in some deep trouble

Good.

Holtmann just passed Archie with losing 13 out of 14 games.   Archie had a 12 out of 13 losing streak during the Romeo year.

Crazy how bad they are.  A pretty good coach and a pretty decent roster.  The margin of winning and losing games in the B1G is a small one.  

[reconmkd]

Uh how in the blue blazes does PUke not have a game before Saturday?

B1G will be improved next year.  Most all teams are young and growing (outside of Northwestern) Some decent recruiting classes coming in.  Woodson will have to work hard and do Yeomans work to keep us from this type of season next year.
