Wright State played one top 100 KenPom team and lost by 44. BUCKLE UP!

The winner of TCU/Seton Hall scares me if we win our first game. I could see us having problems with either of those teams. TCU is long and physical and held their own against Kansas twice this year. Seton Hall has just seemed to have our number in the NCAA tournament. We've been eliminated twice b...

Don't know why people are scared of Illinois. 4 or so players on Arizona are way better than the first meeting, including Ballo for Kofi matchup. They made 16 3s and lost at home. Arizona as a whole are a better team than when they first met, while Illinois has stayed the same if not gotten worse w...

Stanford is 15 of their last 27 from 3 against us...

Amazing work.

Also, ASU had a 99.6% win probability up 69-58!

ommmmggggggggggggg

Looks like we'll get what we all want starting on March 28.

SabinoDrifter

No doubt it would be a great feeling but what a joke for a non Duke(they always get treated well) team to play basically a home game to get to the FF. Have to wonder when TMobile Arena will host a regional final. We better be in the west bracket when that happens TMobile is hosting the regional fin...

I am not familiar with his shtick, but I assume he doesn't get enough love from his alma mater and he acts like a turd?

SabinoDrifter

I think we need to get past the asu/stanford winner before anyone makes reservations. Losing to a NET 95 ranked team will not help us hang onto a 1 seed. I'll be in Las Vegas next week and San Diego the week after. Hoping for either the South/West for our seed. Either San Francisco or San Antonio (...

There is gonna be a game in this tourney where someone does what Stanford did, and does it better. Similar to the strategy in boulder. Make the game ugly. Be overly physical, damn the fouls, and frustrate Arizona. Tommy has gotta get the dudes to realize that teams are gonna punch them in the balls...

It's not who you beat, it's who you're playing when I shitpost on Twitter.

SabinoDrifter

They are young, they are focused, they understand what a loss at home what will do. I expect the fans to keep this team juiced up but you are right it wouldn't be a shock to see us start out slow vs. the 'furd. i do expect both these games to be blowouts to end the season at home For sure vs Cal......

SabinoDrifter

I like how Tommy acknowledged the guys were tired on Saturday, but didn't it use it as an excuse immediately after the CU game. It shows this team is really resilient and pretty remarkable for a young group of guys.

SabinoDrifter

w/r/t Wisconsin, they're 25th in KenPom and have won a ridiculous amount of close games this year.

SabinoDrifter

Holy shit at that performance. That’s a team that wants to win it all.

SabinoDrifter

Curious about our response tomorrow night. Back end of a three game roadie is usually killer but we have responded all year long. CU owned the paint and dated us to hit shots from three. They took away those lob passes and really made it hard for us on our 2 pt FG%. We need to adjust and dictate th...

SabinoDrifter

It’s clear he’s not very prepared

SabinoDrifter

Colorado is going to cool off and we can’t give them extra possessions with sloppy turnovers.

SabinoDrifter

Also, Benn’s defensive effort has been complete shit tonight

Koloko is trying to do too much

Gonzaga is -105 to make the Final Four and the next closest is Arizona at +200

Oregon State lost by 26 last night to Colorado, so no wonder this is a 5:30pm tip

Did we break the bruins?

They go as Campbell goes and he hasn't played well recently.

SabinoDrifter

I'd imagine CTL isn't happy with turnovers they can control, I.E. soft perimeter passing, bad entry passes, trying to make a highlight play. But they still play with a ridiculous amount of efficiency and their size is such an advantage on both sides. And despite the turnovers, this the most points W...

SabinoDrifter

I agree Spiff, ngaf about DePaul or Colorado.

SabinoDrifter

For reference, Baylor was 44 in adjusted defensive efficiency prior to the tournament last year, but they were 3rd in adjusted offensive efficiency. It's not a perfect model to predict future success, but you know the eventual national champion is either a damn good offensive team or damn good defen...

SabinoDrifter

I am not going to get too bent out of shape about a game where they led 84-58 with less than six minutes left. I do think it's another good lesson for Lloyd to pull on about keeping them focused for 40 minutes.

SabinoDrifter

more fun to actually fuck asu than to just say it. margin does not show the absolute ass kicking that was Went on a 90-65 run after being down 14-1, I'd say that's an ass kicking. Laughed hard at the too small / little brother response from AT. I think they were pissed at the bullshit foul by Boayk...

the LA road trip this year will consist now of six games in ten days to accommodate make-ups at UCLA & USC - think about that? not to mention, another three gamer in five days tonight, at least the team was in Tucson. not to mention, the big F*CK YOU again delivered happens the week leading up to t...

Ballo is awesome, so much fun to watch.

The half court offense looks a lot better if Kerr shoots better than 10%

Good job, good effort.

I scanned the article and didn't see any references to Iraq or Afghanistan, some good progress for fivethirtyeight.

SabinoDrifter

I was surprised that we didn’t play more zone given out inability to guard them man to man. I thought maybe we could try some half court traps or anything to try and turn them over or get a rushed shot. Kind of just seemed we laid back and took what they were doing to us To a certain extent, that's...

SabinoDrifter

And sorry for the double post. Walton mentioned it last night (he was amazing, by the way, I legit laughed out loud when he called Kerr Danny Ainge) that not a single player on Arizona's roster has played in the NCAA tournament and UCLA was very close to playing for a national championship last year...

I'd be fine with Tommy Lad, too.

SabinoDrifter

Even with the guys looking gassed, they were still getting good looks in the first half and couldn't buy a basket. Hopefully this is a learning experience and they steamroll those turds from Tempe.

5 people have us ranked 5 or worse.... 1 of them is our very own Columbo... Bruce Pascoe Bruce should find another line of work that doesn’t involve being able to see, hear, or form coherent thoughts.

You know you can score when you turn it over 21 times and still average 1.23 points per possession. If we can cut the turnovers to no more than 10 per game, we’re winning by bigger margins, especially against also-rans like Washington and ASU. Is it just that we’re playing at a faster pace and that...

Let's put it this way, most years were before I was born (1986).
