This might be one of the best tournaments in a while. So many contenders imo.

Obviously the sec juggernauts, but can't forget about St. John's, Sparty, Houston, even the Whoreverines can make a deep run🤢

BYU is a sleeper.

Disappointments are easily Kansas, Illinois, and UNC

Please, don't ask me shĂ­t about the Buckeyes.

Wisky, Maryland and Purdue are all capable teams. Wisky due for a S16 or better type year and they have a dominant scorer.

Purdue has experience but no depth.

I was impressed by Wisconsin at Mackey last week. They stumbled vs Oregon, but they are definitely due for a S16.

If Maryland can avoid injury/foul trouble, especially in the backcourt, they can make a lot of noise. Queen will continue to shoot up the draft boards

@Trust Me is it a coincidence that UConn been ass now that Tarris Reed Jr is on their team?

I remember MSU wanted him out of the portal and you warned me
Dude started off hte year hot.. to the point where UCONN fans were talkin a bit outta pocket. I told them numbers he was putting up were empty as hell. They didn't really believe it.


They believe it now. Wanna know why?


Cause they can @Trust Me :sas1:


Aint that right brotha @Buckeye Fever :mjgrin:

@Buckeye Fever IU is another major disappointment this year. They brought in the top portal class, a McD's AA freshmen and spend the most in NIL to build their roster. Made MSU look like dog shyt, and just did the same to Purdue too. Woodson is just a lousy coach.

Interested to see who their next "savior" will be, and who will end up in the portal

Purdue outscored by 27pts in the second half :scust:

Pitino :king:

4 straight losses for them.

They had double digit leads vs scUM & IU. They were up like 14 vs scUM with 11 mins left

Braden smith will likely be 1st team AA and their PF is nice but other than that they kinda weak looking
