This is so embarrassing, Minnesota looks like a bunch of 4th graders.

I was at the scrimmage against Michigan state and wasn’t impressed. I was shocked they became a top 10 team. Obviously Izzy is a great coach but they aren’t a very talented team. They play hard and physical which I guess is enough to win games.
 
The Minnesota player going for the dunk at then end and missing it while the fans storm the court over beating Michigan State is a fitting end to that mess

Totally agree. Izzo will always have them playing hard defensively. I think they may be 1 in KP, but they're always totally lacking offensive skill.
 
BYU down 9 to OSU late first half.
I'm sure Dybantsa will score 30 in the 2nd half.

Illinois up 61-23

16 threes with 8 minutes to go. They are one of the most unique teams I've seen. Wagler and the Serbs, gigantic team that can shoot lights out. Firmly tier one at this point. 75-30 is a ridiculous score. They'll be flying up KP. Very fun watch - not sure when they play UM, but that will be the set of biggest players of the year. The UM/Duke & UM/Illinois game will be fun.
 
BYU is awful..,,,they will be out of the top 25 by year end. They have two decent players and that’s it.

Oklahoma State 99 BYU 92

BYU tries to just outscore you. That doesn't always work. I don't know how their kenpom defensive rating is 41. Seems it should be worse.

Gonzaga getting worked by 22.5 point underdog Portland Pilots.

Queue the "Zags are perennially overrated" opinions.
 
Brutal loss. MSU and Zags, both perennially overrated, living up to the hype!

February is going to be awesome for college hoops

Fears at it again, dude is a mini Draymond, and Izzo got all indignant when May brought up Fears' dirty plays from their game this past Friday

Isn't this the most egregious trip?



Very dirty, unstable player. Not good for the game, that's DG 2.0. Illinois plays MSU this Saturday, I'm sure Illinois players have been instructed not to react on his nonsense.

Rough day for ranked teams. Gonzaga and MSU lost to terrible teams. BYU got dropped by OSU. Clemson was in a nail biter against Stanford

Not all doom and gloom as Illinois and Houston massacred Northwestern and UCF, and Louisville handled Notre Dame

Portland lost to 11-13 Washington State by 30 their last game.

They really are. I respect Few and what he’s done, but the current working of the metrics is a little annoying. We can firmly take them off any contender list along with MSU, Purdue and BYU. BYU is the same as last year, cannot defend and RW is overrated.
 
Who would be the Big East equivalent to Portland?

Yup, also in that same game against Mich he had a flagrant foul on Yaxel when he was about to go up for a dunk and another tripping incident against LJ Cason. Between the non-stop flopping and dirty plays he's unlikeable.

Is Illinois Your New fancy? We beat them easily without Mullins.

Sharing an interesting fact. This is CBB discussion board, no? They are a fun team. I don’t know why there is this sprint to defend UConn when there is zero attack on them. It’s weird, albeit not uncommon.

I find MSU to be unlikeable. Was there in 2009. Their fanbase sucks.
