No 2/20 games thread yet, but I assume we are all rooting for Michigan (at Wisconsin) and Rutgers (at Purdue) tomorrow, right?
WI to lose, Purdue to lose, little room for argument on LoyaltyNo 2/20 games thread yet, but I assume we are all rooting for Michigan (at Wisconsin) and Rutgers (at Purdue) tomorrow, right?
In addition, I'm rooting for Michigan to lose and Rutgers to lose! Might have to settle for 2-2, though...WI to lose, Purdue to lose, little room for argument on Loyalty
Always great to see a Pearl team lose.Down goes Auburn.

I honestly think we'd actually stand the highest chance against auburn compared to the other t5 teams. Outside of Smith, we actually match up really really well. Smith sounds like a Hawkins job.Always great to see a Pearl team lose.
As nice as it would be to beat Pearl, I have to admit I really don’t want to see Auburn in tourney (unless it is very late in tourney). Let someone else take them down. think Smith could be a matchup problem and Kessler is big enough to at least slow Kofi down a bit or get him in foul trouble. They do have two small guards though, which would help Illini.
In theory it does, but in spite of his job on Harper in first Rutgers game I’m not confident in his ability to check Smith. And I think Kessler’s height could give Kofi some problems. The good news is if/when we see Auburn, it should mean Illini have won some tourney games.I honestly think we'd actually stand the highest chance against auburn compared to the other t5 teams.

I'm heartbrokenLSU lost to USC (South Carolina) today. They have lost a lot in the past month
Made an amendment…70-year-old Jalen Coleman lands getting some good tic for KU right now.
Please stop... Santa Clara is 79th in KenPom. Oregon is 80th, Penn State is 81st, Cincinnati is 83rd, and Maryland is 86th. I know everyone hates Gonzaga, but this is not the game to pick as an example of playing a Patsy.Haven't watched the Zags much. Obviously they have crazy talent, but Uni of St. Clara playing them within 10 at half seems suspect.
Thanks for the insight. Just making a casual observation after not having seen the Zags play for some time. So glad you schooled me, lol!Please stop... Santa Clara is 79th in KenPom.

Why? It helps us more if they win.Hopefully Oregon wins vs Arizona today
Boswell's at Arizona right now.Why? It helps us more if they win.
Kofi watched us lose to FAU on his visit here. Recruits don't usually make decisions based on the outcome of one game.Boswell's at Arizona right now.
yeah but this is more for me to feel more optimistic rather than for himKofi watched us lose to FAU on his visit here. Recruits don't usually make decisions based on the outcome of one game.
A lot of press at this game and a pretty loud game in Tucson. Hope what we heard about Boswell was valid. I never like to see another competitor for a recruit to have the last visit.Boswell's at Arizona right now.
Very inconsistent. Lost to ASU (9 - 15) a couple days ago 81 to 57.How is Oregon 10-5 in the PAC 12? They are running and competing with UA on the road
