Arizona is legit - neutral court right now, they are better than us. They are just tough, throttle it up for a majority of the game.

the hype on metrics darling Vanderbilt has gone up in smoke

If the metrics were a true predictor of how good a team is, how the hell did Vanderbilt lose three in a row getting their ass kicked twice? I’m thinking because the metrics aren’t a true predictor of anything.

The metrics are primarily bs. Vandy was always gonna flame out in league play.

They were lucky when they caught us and Florida, the losses will start coming in February.

Knew you'd be the first one to jump on this. You took the bait - almost too easy. It's almost as if you don't like calling another team good. It's an impossibility.

Try doing this - watch them. They're really good. They out-tough teams, and play at a high level. What they do is consistent. They don't rely on threes.Theoretical prognostications don't do much for me. Give me the why.

SC losing at halftime to Northwestern ... but the main story is they are 6/17 from the FT line. Sheeeesh that's bad.

Dailyn Swain would probably be challenging for BE POY if Miller had stayed at Xavier. He's the type of player I thought Stew was gonna develop into.

Who’s the front runner, Demary? ejiofor?

Probably Ejiofor because not only is he playing great, but he was the Preseason BEPOY and I think that will factor into determining the BEPOY at the end.

If Demary keeps playing like he has the last few games, I won't care who wins the BEPOY. As far as I am concerned Demary is the reason the Huskies won and grinded their way to some difficult wins.

We know you think everybody is better than us and we don't have a chance to beat anybody. Matter of fact why don't we just shut the rest of the season down because it's hopeless.

Here comes the posts where he gets defensive and tells us how he knows more than all if us. Rinse and repeat..

No I tell you it’s ok if a team looks better than us now, and to stop putting head in the sand, he constructive conversationally.

Shooting matters but doesn’t matter that much - our 24 team didn’t shoot well that tourney (from 3). They won in all other facets of the game. AZ defends and owns the paint.
 
Y'all are obsessed with other teams just worry about us, I know this may shock som people but you actually have to beat good teams to win it all. Now the Ruff Ruff extreme is one thing but the whole paranoia of other teams being good is another extreme.
 
the difference is they are pretty one dimensional compared to uconn 24. gameplan is much simpler.

They’re not 2024. They’re just consistent and do the little things really well. And have a 5th gear.

They were lucky at the time of facing us and their schedule is in fact backloaded. But they are also the best team in the country. Neither of you are wrong. It’s that simple.

I hope Autry and Capel both get another year.

Is it wrong on a CBB thread to recognize another team is good? Lol. They look better dramatically than us right now. That can change.
