Not a juggernaut, but a really tough mismatch. Not only do you have Flagg as a 6'9" do everything player that is hard to guard, but they are humongous all over the court. I think they could be challenged by any of these really fast athletic teams who apply a lot of pressure (Houston, StJ).

I don't think we'd stand a chance personally, as we don't have the kind of personnel to challenge them, we're just a weaker version. Against any of these top teams, our only chance is to catch fire from 3 (the great equalizer).

I'm sure this is a minor injury and Proctor will be fine.

Baylor and Gonzaga might both miss the tournament.

In Baylor's defense, they did lose their only guy over 6'8" to injury. But they also put themselves in that position in roster construction. Gonzaga has 0 excuses.

Baylor is no longer a Quad 1 win as they dropped to 31....so we're down to 4 Q1 wins.

Can't see Zags missing Tourney with a NET of 8. Whatever they did with scheduling is pure genius...they're 2-6 in Q1 game and have Net of 8

Yeah I posted in the first half when Gonzaga was down. Winning that game by that margin last night will help their profile a lot.

Baylor lost their big for the season, but you'd think with VJ, Omier, Wright and Roach they'd be able to make some kind of dent this season. They've been a massive bust. Drew has had more NBA talent come through that program than anyone the last few years with not a ton to show for it. He's got that title to soften the blow, that was a loaded Baylor team. Drew is one of those coaches that feels more sizzle than substance.

The committee will not put high seed UConn in the East bracket.

Committee has done a decent job last few years - you get credit for playing a team when you did, not after. Our wins vs Gonzaga and Baylor will count as will Texas. They stopped doing the waterfall (e.g., if you beat a #1 team in November but they are unranked in March, you still get credit). We will get credit for McNeeley and Nowell missing a month as well.
