Everyone is bad except Houston

I have once again fallen into a trap of thinking about how well Jalen Wilson would have fit these recent teams at the 4

Just wait until you see VCU. They have this guy who can swing between the 4 and 5 ā€¦

Loved Harris their PG as well. Consistently kept his dribble alive, went into the paint and was able to kick it out to shooters. They didnā€™t shoot it well but they got many wide open shots.

High major teams that are 0-3:

  • Florida State
  • Louisville
  • California

In Louisvilleā€™s defense, all of their losses are by one point.

Why is Sparty unranked?? It makes no sense after last nightā€™s victory over Kentucky, and it didnā€™t make sense pre-season either. Sissoko is a beast, and their core from last year has improved considerably. Izzo always brings it.

They only update rankings once a week. Iā€™m sure they will enter

Probably because they werenā€™t very good last season and didnā€™t really make many roster upgrades. Also, there was no reason to believe that Sissoko was going to play this well early on.

Beast seems awfully rich.

significantly worse IMO, at least McCaffery had that one skill of perfect Garza feeds

Just saw that EMU-Bradley box score. Not great. Emoni was good again but instead of 27 FTAs they got 9 and they somehow played worse 2pt D. Thought they could at least be the ~200th best team in the country w Emoni and Farrakhan. Rest of those guys ainā€™t much but Farrakhan was pretty terrible against Bradley.

Blech. Rough sign when Emoni is doing his thing and you still get bulldozed by Bradley.

Said this on the pod, but I donā€™t really see them being good enough to compete in the MAC. They are a very bad defensive team even if Emoni gives you 20 per night. Michigan scored 1.10 PPP while missing 15 FTA and going 5-of-21 from three. Tough to do.

EMU also almost upset Indiana last year to start the year and then ā€¦ wasnā€™t very good.
