Week of 1/15/24 Other Games

[Hey Adrien!]

Dude is skilled(game clips are in the next slides), surprised he even came over to play in college

I can't stand Calipari, but even before the addition of Ivisic, this is the most talented Kentucky team probably since their Final Four squad.

They're not just inexperienced 5-star athletes like the last handful of seasons. This team is more versatile and rank within the top-4 nationally in both Effective FG% and Turnover Rate prevention. That means there's a level of savvy and skill we haven't seen in Lexington in a long time.

Case in point, Antonio Reeves (19.5 ppg) and Tre Mitchell (13.5 ppg) are both in their fifth-year of college ball and shoot the ball with ease while freshmen Rob Dillingham and Reed Shepherd are excellent shooters.

Kentucky is usually one of my favorite fades when when I build my bracket, but at this rate, Kentucky has a wicked high ceiling since Ivisic makes this team ten-deep when everyone is healthy.

The offense flows beautifully, but they do have concerns on defense.

St. John’s lost to No. 17 Marquette, 73-72, on Saturday. It was the Red Storm’s third straight loss.

Tulane on a quick run early in the second half. Battling with Memphis, currently up 5

Court storm in New Orleans, Tulane wins!

Memphis came into the week ranked #10 but then lost to 2 bad teams (under 100 Kenpom for USF and Tulane). May be extreme, but I wonder if they stay in the top 25 tomorrow

The puke folks are in an uproar. Perhaps KEA's table jumping left a lasting impression on the Pitt program

He stole that from El Amin.

We’re willing to license the move as long as it’s done in front of the Duke student section.

 

[Tenspro2002]

We're starting to see some separation in the rankings here.

UConn and Purdue

Houston, UNC, Kansas, Kentucky, Tennessee

Arizona, Auburn, Wisconsin, Illinois

It would take a significant collapse for us to fall out of the top 2 seed lines.

There was a big gap between their AP ranking and their analytic ratings. Those games were upsets either way, but Memphis was certainly overrated. There was a good KenPom article about them recently.

Literally 4 days ago and they lose to two sub-100 KP teams in those 4 days. That's calling your shot if I've ever seen it.

FAU wins another close one

Smacks of UConn students stealing a Providence tradition and singing a Taylor Swift song during a timeout.

Where on earth did you get 8.5??

It was live around halftime when they were losing. Dumb bet it turns out.

I thought with Koch Brothers money they'd be fine regardless. They may just need the right hire.
