Wisconsin upgraded with Tonje over Storr

No question about that.

Storr will be on his 4th team next season.

I did not realize the Greenbrier Tip Off was literally inside a hotel ballroom

It’s not even the first time that Wisconsin has done that. The one down in Atlantis does the same thing.

What an absolutely weird sport this is.

it’s also funny because the two transfers that you thought they probably needed to hit on have sort of been duds. And the one that they least needed to hit on, has turned out to be one of the very best transfers in the country.

This has to be the worst shooting MSU team of my lifetime.  Hell, this might be the worst shooting Big Ten team of my lifetime.  Teams are going to zone us to death.  Can't shoot 3s, and the RS freshman PG looks like he has never been taught how to attack a zone

wow,  the Maui court does not disappoint.

In retrospect, not blowing a lead seems like a pretty big accomplishment, considering the other 3 games

Imagine losing out on Dusty May to give give Mike Woodson one more year

This is the worst Arizona team Ive seen in a while.  They have some elite athletes, but no offensive coherence or defensive interest.  In a very tough Big 12, Im not sure they even make the tournament

I rather liked a couple of their bigs, at least in offense.

They are fine if they can just overwhelm you with talent, but they run nothing offensively, and look disinterested defensively.  Lost to unranked Oklahoma today to fall to 0-3 against P5 teams

Also wonder if UConn could go from back to back champs to missing the tournament.  The Big East only got 3 teams in last year, and they don't look great this year.  UConn lost 3 games to unranked teams in Maui, and finished dead last, and I don't know where the good wins are coming.  Marquette looks good, but that's about it.  Creighton has also lost 3 straight games to unranked teams.  St. John's lost a neutral court game to Georgia.  Xavier's best opponent is a seemingly improved Michigan team...who beat them on a neutral court.  Providence is in the 7th place game in Atlantis.  The Big East does not look like a forgiving place to make back ground, based on what they've done non conference

USC lost 71-36 to Saint Mary's, but at least their football team is making it worth the addition
