Good take on college hoops and our league, also they single out syracuse for worst in conference metric:
The Big East race is shaping up to be absolutely fantastic. UConn deserves the benefit of the doubt as the best team in the league (I think UConn has been the best team in the country, too), but the rest of the league won't go quietly. Creighton got big man Ryan Kalkbrenner back and quickly won two games in a row while looking like the team who showed out in the loaded Maui Invitational.
With freshman sensation Cam Whitmore healthy and fellow freshman Mark Armstrong inserted into the starting lineup, Villanova looks like, well, Villanova again. The Wildcats have won five games in a row. Marquette and Xavier are really good. When Kentucky transfer Bryce Hopkins is rolling, Providence can hang with anybody. Don't be surprised if this is a dogfight heading into the final week of the season despite how dominant UConn has looked during its 13-0 start.
My favorite though:
ACC
- Louisville’s El Ellis, Mike James, Jae’Lyn Withers, Brandon Huntley-Hatfield and Sydney Curry: -4.6 efficiency margin in 134 offensive possessions.
- Syracuse’s Chris Bell, Jesse Edwards, Joe Girard, Judah Mintz and Benny Williams: -5.8 efficiency margin in 208 offensive possessions.
