Guys, let's talk about Giorgi. What are realistic expectations for the rest of this season based on the games so far? Is it unreasonable to expect 14 pts & 6 reb per game?
We are winning out the rest of the way in Maui. This is a great team that’s definitely hasn’t the makings of a NCAA Tournament squad. We have a chance to pickup two more quality wins along the way and I don’t think Iowa State is gonna be ready for our pressure. ILL- 75 IST-67
Seems to me that these lines usually look a lot like the sabre-metric guys. KenPom says ISU by 6. We'll see if Nevada agrees.
His system updates very quickly. We moved up 4 lines based on last night's game actuallyI can't imagine KenPom has adjusted for the games from yesterday, right? Although, it probably wouldn't make a huge difference. More just curious.
The season is long, especially for freshman. He's already blown away my expectations, but those numbers would be truly ridiculous. I know we want to be excited here, but sample size, sample size, sample size.Guys, let's talk about Giorgi. What are realistic expectations for the rest of this season based on the games so far?

I know it is VERY early for things like KenPom to work, however, ISU is 30 ish, Xavier/SDST are both 60's and we are 74. Just some perspective. Of course, I guess ISU is missing their best player, so that should help.
#6Well ... what's Gonzaga?
T-Rank is a similar computer model based on per-possession efficiency. It has us at 34, Iowa St. at 31, San Diego St. at 41, and Xavier at 48.I know it is VERY early for things like KenPom to work, however, ISU is 30 ish, Xavier/SDST are both 60's and we are 74.

Not good, considering we have 31 games in the regular season. lol. Besides that, still thinking we are one or two closer to 20 wins and go dancing due to our SOS.The Torvik System has us as .4 point dogs to the Cyclones.
Apologies if this is the wrong thread, but it has us going 16-14 (9-11) for the full season. How would we feel about that?
If Illinois loses to Iowa State we as a fan base need to pack it in. They are 8 players deep right now.....missing their best scorer and post players. THT has been one of their best players but Babb and Shayok can go off if not handled approprately.
Slim chance it starts before 4 if the Xavier SDSU game starts at 1:30.this morning when i pushed to record it was at 4oclock but now i just checked and it does shoe 3:30 the last thing we need is it moved up
I really hope he's not the difference in the game, but man he is a stud.Soooo who is going to guard THT so he doesn't hang 20 and 10 on us?
I do think we're the better team already than Iowa State, but this team is going to be emotionally and physically drained. Unfortunately I think that's the difference. Really hope I'm wrong.
Ia St - 82
Illini - 77
