Kentucky losing at home to Mizzou is wild
Week of 1/5 Games Thread

BBN is already over Mark Pope. They're ready to fire him.
Watched the KY/Miz game. Team looked disinterested and sloppy. Pope looked exasperated.
He will be gone soon if he can’t drastically change things.
It’s like the Billy Gillespie era without the drinking.

my theory is the new pope in the Vatican stole his mojo. I think the timeline aligns
First win for Mizzou ever at Rupp lol
Jeremy Fears can't shoot. Watching the Nw vs MSU game. MSU doesn't look good at home tonight. Martin Eli can shoot that goofy shot.
They look awful. I expect them to come out of halftime focused.
The Fears stuff is legitimately gross. I’m so over it and i don’t know why the Big Ten puts up with it
Michigan State has gotten away with a lot in this game, some good home cooking
He flagrantly flopped and crumpled to the floor on two straight plays on off ball contact 45 feet from the basket.
To the refs credit, they called neither and Izzo got a technical
I’m always weary of the “bad” teams who put together close games against “good” teams - feels like NW has done that here.
They eventually breakthrough.

Watching the MSU game, and I hate the trend of home teams just wearing their away jerseys at home and forcing the away team to wear a light color. NBA-type nonsense.
Standard MSU format. Probably drop a game @ Purdue. Probably split Michigan series than lose 2 more they're favored to win. Get a #2-#4 seed in tournament. Make Sweet 16 than run into someone like Houston. Can't out tough,outrebound, out defend them and has more talent. Push reset button for next year
It's just so weird to see Oregon ever bad at basketball, especially in this era of CBB. Feels like Phil Knight could get a $20M roster on his own.
Football its not as a big of deal but man the West Coast teams are going to find it tough in hoops I think.
That's awful. No one wants to watch that $hit.

Over lunchtime, I went on a bit of a fishing expedition about George Ivory, the Head Coach of Mississippi Valley State, and the former Head Coach at Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
Coach Ivory has been the Head Coach of MVS since 2022, where his overall record with the team is 10-98, winning just under 10% of his coached games. By the end of the month, he'll likely have more losses at MVS than Brad Underwood has had at Illinois in his entire tenure. His entire career Head Coaching record is 150-367, winning just 29% of his games.
I used ChatGPT to scrape together a list of the most losses all time for Head Coaches in CBB, and if ChatGPT is correct, Coach Ivory is nipping at the heals of losing greatness:
Biggest "Losers" of All Time:
1. Cliff Ellis - 848-559
2. Greg Kampe - 708-535
3. Bob Huggins - 935-414
4. Jim Boeheim - 1,015-371
5. Bob Knight - 902-371
6. Mike Krzyzewski - 1,202-368
7. George Ivory - 150-367
Either it's a crazy coincidence I came across this or ChatGPT is wrong, but if the former, then we're on the eve of greatness of Coach Ivory tying Coach K's place for 6th place. By the end of the year, he'll almost certainly be the 4th biggest loser, and if he keeps his job for 2 more seasons, he'll have a solid spot at 3rd.
This leads to my question: what exactly is going on at MVS and with Coach Ivory? Since he took over as head coach in 2022, he hasn’t cracked a 357th ranking on KenPom. Is there any hope that he’s going to turn the program around? Can we get this man some NIL? If it’s a money issue, what a story it would be if he got some kind of cash injection and turned MVS around.
Hope someone enjoys reading this on a Friday afternoon. I’d appreciate any corrections if there are mistakes, and I’d also be interested in any additional information about Coach Ivory if anyone has it.

Gonzaga has looked rather unimpressive lately. To be honest, that's exactly the kind of one seed I'd like in our bracket (as opposed to UConn two years ago).
They'll have a few headscratcher games, but are so untested from a point of competition and talent in that league.

Or the 2 seed in our region, if we end up on the 3 line.
Don't ever trust ChatGPT for facts, it doesn't know.
