I will continue to tune in Washington games up until round 1 of the CBI convinced each game thinking that this will be the game the talent finally turns it around.

Hasn't gotten nearly enough attention for being as disappointing as they are.

They had a pillow soft closing 7 games and ended 3-4, losing to PSU, Maryland, Northwestern and Oregon.

There was some article I recall 2 years ago when NC State won 5 games in 5 days to win the ACC tourney that noted how insane that feat was because bye teams facing team that played the prior day had like a 90+% winning percentage over the prior 10 years in ACC play (now, the bye teams are pretty much always the better team so take that into consideration as well, but 92% is very high... also this was just ACC so data was limited to that).

I was a HS junior in the spring of '83 and I'll never forget that NC State run. I've never seen a "dark horse team of destiny" vibe like that. And that final. Amazing stuff. If you haven't seen the 30-for-30 film about it, it's well worth the time.

Iowa St moves from 9 to 7 on Torvik with that dismantling of Arizona St (huge jump in the BARTHAG: 9507 --> 9596)

Up to 7 on KP also

Washington has a ton of talent there, them figuring it out and going on a tear would be a fate not unfamiliar

After watching two games this afternoon at the Big 12 tournament I want to say that this court is an abomination. I’ve had my fill of watching animations and videos and various advertisements moving all of the court every timeout. This GIF I created doesn’t do justice to how maddening it is. The manufacturer claims the texture makes it more slip resistant than hardwood courts. To which I say bull crap. Players slipping and falling way more than normal. This floor is all about giving the arena a giant screen to splash ads on every chance they get. And it does so while compromising the game.
