16-17 Games of Interest

[WuDrWu]

Rug's Thugs is fantastic.

[Kel Varnsen]

Of top 10 teams, KU is certainly one of the best matchups for us. They're good and we could get rolled if they shoot well, but physically they wouldn't present matchup problems.

How in the world is St. Mary's a projected 6 seed by some, and we are a borderline team on the bubble? Their non conference schedule was pretty hot hum too (minus a win at Dayton), and they basically didn't leave the state of California. Their conference is not helping them either (and they've lost to Gonzaga twice now). Just not seeing a 5-6 seed difference between us two.

They are 2-3 against the top 50 (two losses against #2 RPI Zags) compare to our 1-3. Not real significant, but edge to St Mary's. More importantly, they are 4-1 against 50-100...we are 1-1. They're OOC SOS is 66. Ours is just under 200. That said, they are projected to have an RPI of about 18 (5 seed) and we are projected to have an RPI of 37 (7 seed).

Winning out through St Louis should give us about a 2 seed line difference. Hopefully we take care of business and get a 10 seed. I don't want an 8/9.

Good points, particularly about the records vs 50-100. That just really hammers home the lack of good, but not great teams we have had the opportunity to play this year. I think that's where a lot of us were expecting CSU, LBSU, and maybe Tulsa to be, but that obviously just hasn't happened.

Indiana is looking less than impressive today, but they've looked that way for most of the season. I hope they don't get rid of their coach any time soon.

The ice Crean is standing on wouldn't hold Austin Reaves.

Heck, I'd like to see the chickens play the redbirds. In the tournament.

Woodard is done for OU ... Sigh. Poor guy had to get cursed by us.

Brutal.

Its always sad to see a senior have his career ended by injury.

Northwestern trying to boost their cause. Leading Wisconsin in Madison 45-38 with just under 10 to go. BTN.

[wusphlash]

Northwestern wins 66-59.

Hate to hear that. You're right though, his season heading pretty much straight downhill after he torched the Shock and almost carried OU to a win in that game.

And we have a superior coach!

And D. Every bit as good as when it made them tap out in 2015.
