Arizona taking care of business for us so far at halftime. Looking like it'll only be Florida with a legit shot to challenge us. (Maaaaybe Michigan State if they can win at Michigan and then go on a BET run, but seems unlikely).

No way on MSU. Not a chance. If Florida runs it, beats 4 tourney teams, they'll make it close. Yet ultimately all will likely happen is we swap the 1 & 2 in the same region.

Have you seen their schedule? Look at SH OOC. They lost 1 game. Put this SH team in the MAC? Lol

Seton Hall is absolutely having a night where they can't make shots and taking an L on the road during a long conference season, you must have only watched SH play UConn. It's a team made up of alot of low/mid-major transfers, they're not like that.
 
Every time I’ve watched Iowa State this year, I haven’t been too impressed by them. Tonight is no different, some ugly basketball played on both sides to start the second half

I'd say ISU is doing that but is also doing a poor job of identifying who the actual shooters on Zona are.

Amazing how a kid like Krivas gets into the skulls. ISU just missed about 8 shots on one possession.

ISU is def offensively challenged.

No I’ve watched SH play MAC level schools. And they beat all of them by double digits sans Wagner.

I think you’re underestimating the athletic difference

MAC is much better than Wagner level.
Expand ...
I’m not just citing Wagner.

They also beat Rutgers, NC State, Kansas St, Washington St. Bad P5’s but definitely on par with MAC level schools.

Miami(OH) hasn’t played someone as good as NC State all season.

Miami(OH) played a non D1 team as a part of their schedule…..AT THE END OF DECEMBER.

MSU is 5th in WAB right now (we're 4th), after winning back to back top 50 road games, and obviously has that almost full 1.0 WAB opportunity at Michigan to close the season. Plenty of opps in the B1G tournament as well. Their predictive metrics are around ours.

But yeah they have to win at Michigan, which seems pretty unlikely.
 
AZ's 3 is pretty meh tonight. Would seem they could have used a true shooter there, ala Mullins to balance that lineup. Of the top 3 teams, AZ is the team I feel like we'd match up best with.

I know a few DJs that would have taken the matter into their own hands no matter the setting or Steele's status...

Me too, LOL. The DJs I know that would have taken matters into their own hands in the way you meant it are from the Bronx and Hartford.

Jaden Bradley almost always makes the correct decision whenever I watch him. Is it fair to say he is the best PG in the country?
Expand ...
There are a lot of very good PG's this year, so yeah. Wagler, Acuff, Brown,Demary, Smith, Fears, Philon, Flemming.

He is smooth, and mature and an advantage as a senior on that young team. Peat, strong athlete, but a bit clunky out there. His best game was against Florida, and I'm not sure we've seen that player since. Looks more like a tight end.

His fit at the next level will be interesting, we don't really see PFs in his mold anymore

Honestly not sure if there is a major difference in quality of player in him vs Awaka. They're both physical beasts, but not a ton of basketball skill.

Those are some great PGs you listed. I would throw in Boswell from Illinois, too. If I had to pick one, I would go with Bradley.

Peat has locked up Jefferson and that alone increased Arizona's chances of winning many fold considering Jefferson is one of the few offensive threats Iowa State has, a team that starves for offense at times.

Koa Peat doesn’t have a lot of skill?
 
We can officially put ISU as a one to bed. Not even sure if they're even a 2 at this point.

Great athlete - when I say skill, I'm talking about finer basketball skills - dribbling, shooting, having a bag. He's more brute force, good defensive player.

He just says stuff. If he has a huge game in the conference tournament he could say he's the next Barkley.

Bro, go to bed. Allow a conversation to happen without always intervening childishly. Contructive convo is nice - chasing a poster around calling them out is for toddlers.

I disagree slightly. This is how you get the power 4 breaking off and having their ow tournament. There is no way in any justifiable universe that Miami(OH) is more “deserving”than a Seton Hall. The only thing they did was schedule worst opponents and play in the MAC. If what they’re doing is legit, they’ll win their conference tournament. You have to start punishing teams for scheduling that bad.
Expand ...
You are massively underrating how difficult it is to go undefeated, even in a mid major conference. Utah Valley, Yale, Hofstra, Stephen F Austin, McNeese, High Point are all similarly rated teams in similar rated conferences. They all have 4-10 losses and none are undefeated in conference
