@dmv_depressed Duke beat Auburn

Will Riley might be as good as or better than Kasparas Jakucionis, which is more a testament to Riley than an indictment on KJ.

@CardinalsRed96 It sure is.

@Appreci8Gr8ness See I just don’t know what level of talent is there. I always felt Coleman Hawkins was best as the third or fourth best guy on a team (had two first team AAs last year) and Dug as a No. 1 or 2 guy last year was a disaster. But they are good enough to make a random run IMO

@Appreci8Gr8ness I doubt it tbh. So many teams would have to trip up and that’s not even considering the at large bids that might be stolen

Kansas State is absolutely on fire. Just a shame they started to slow because five consecutive wins (including against West Virginia, at Iowa State and vs Kansas) would be a major resume boost.

Is Creighton the best non-top 25 team in the nation? Some meh losses, but sitting second in the Big East (17-6, 10-2) with wins over UConn, Kansas and St. John’s

Oregon is one of the mentally weaker teams I’ve seen. They just fold whenever things get tough.

Illinois and Michigan State since the Great Debate of Jeffrey Anderson:

@daily_msu Do you understand now

Maryland deserves more national attention. They have a two-headed monster of a frontcourt in Derik Queen and Julian Reese that can beat any team on any given night. They’re sitting at 17-5. Dark horse Final Four contender in my opinion

@RGIII__ @GoodmanHoops I’ll make this one easy lol. No Ivisic dilutes the win.

Save for the stinker against Tulane, PJ Haggerty has been INEVITABLE. The Tulsa transfer came into today averaging 21.4 points per game. Sitting at 21 with 7 left against Rice.

Tomislav Ivisic might actually be the most underrated player in college basketball. Impact not always on the box score.

The 1979-1980 San Diego State Aztecs (6-21). There’s a Hall of Famer in there somewhere and, no, it’s not leading scorer Eddie Morris (13.3 ppg)

@JBRBracketology No lol

Have to feel for Brooks Barnhizer of Northwestern. After breaking out to the tune of 17 ppg, he’ll be sidelined the rest of the season.

DID YOU KNOW? As a power forward, Purdue’s Robbie Hummel led the Big Ten Twice in free throw percentage (.865 in 2007-08, .902 in 2009-10) Averaged 16.4 ppg and 7.2 rpg as a senior en route to his third All-B1G selection
