Izzo committed to taking Loyer/Kithier over Duane Washington/Trayveon Williams

And more.  MSU, with Bingham on the floor, would be #1 in the nation in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency by 3 points per 100 possessions.  Obviously that's not how it works, but how Kithier keeps getting minutes is a head scratcher

Wisconsin out here just playing bad and trying to piss me off

PSU has some pop in them

ESPN trying to hype the Gonzaga game is hilarious. 

If they were honest they'd say:
Gonzaga is playing a team that your local HS or Rec League team could beat, but watch to see if they score 1,000 points!

I would have tipped my cap if the sound guy at Mackey would have just made the crown incessantly boo every call against Purdue, no matter how obvious.

Important win for Purdue. In the first half, you could see the impact of not having Sasha on the floor offensively, and Minnesota started with red hot shooting. I was dreading a loss and then having to try to split at the Barn.

Pepperdine is No. 127 in KenPom, managed to score 34 points in the first half, and ever went up nine at one point. 

Your rec team and and local high school team are deeply bad in comparison. There is perhaps a HS team or two in Ohio that could push a top150 college team, but that’s probably generous.

Pepperdine is No. 127 in KenPom.

That is the point. Yes it was an exaggeration but not by much more than ESPN treating it as a serious challenge for Gonzaga.

The difference between Duane Washington's skill set and what he thinks is his skill set is sometimes stark.

[FearlessF]

when's the last time (the top 10 in all-time wins) Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, Duke, Temple, Syracuse, UCLA, Notre Dame, St. Johns, Indiana were all out of the top 20?

Jayhawks at #15 should drop out

UCLA @ 23 with a win over Oregon St. could move into the top 20

#11-#15 all-time Cincy, Utah, Arizona, Purdue, Western Kentucky are also out

#16 Illinios is in @ 19!!! and that win vs Iowa

OSU has an amazing ability to have leads, but not big leads

There is the Revenge Tour and then there is what Sparty is on, the Everyone Takes Revenge Tour

Yeah, they couldn't put it away for the longest time!
