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

San Diego St on a run.  Only down 1 with 4:37 to go

Champ week can’t get here soon enough.  Some of these conference tourneys are going to be insane.

Utah st  is in first place in the MWC

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.

Will Missouri win a conference game?  Thirteen straight losses now -- all in conference.  Hung tough against Tennessee tonight but same result as always.  

[RaceToTheTop]

TCU/Texas Tech coming down to the wire -- TCU up 2 with 2:12 left.

[RaceToTheTop]

22.4 seconds left, Texas Tech 1 point lead and the ball.  If Horned Frogs can't get the steal they'll foul and Tech will get a one and one as TCU isn't in the double bonus.

[RaceToTheTop]

Texas Tech hangs on, 82-81.

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.

[Uspshoosier]

MWC delivers every night.   New Mexico/Colorado St at 10.  UNC Greensboro/Western Carolina going to be a good one as well

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

Maybe he was good at Arizona because of the stuff that hit the fan

[LamarCheeks]

BTW, that tweet about Sean Miller is from a guy who covers the New England Patriots. 

It's interesting, no doubt -- but I don't know that I'd put a whole lot of credence into his report.
