I thought Gonzaga and Few were going to be solid this season, but Hurley and UCONN are strong. Scary team. Might be as good if not better than last season's squad.
Week of 12/11 Games Thread

Good looking game, though.
Rooting for them is a strong term, but right now....the entire conference needs to have more than a handful of Q1 opportunities.
Those few high profile wins in the non conference saved us last year. We're not going to have that this year. I don't want to be in a situation where FAU needs to carry us.
We need Rutgers to start winning games. We need MSU to start winning games. We need Indiana to start winning games because once we get into conference play, we don't want those teams winning games anymore. We want every game to be a great opportunity vs a must have. That's not a good spot to be in.
Just my take.

They’re 11 in KenPom. So likely a top 10/15 team but not a top 5 team. At least at the moment.
Agreed. I don't think they have the offensive fire power to be elite. They also don't seem to have that many 3 point threats on a consistent basis

Even with those wins factored in. They’ve fallen from #2 in KenPom preseason to #11 today and if they lose this game, they’ll likely fall even further.
No one’s saying they’re not a good team. Just likely not the #2 team in the nation.
They won't be if they lose to Indiana today.
Boy, that three point shot can shoot you into or out of a game. Kansas can't buy one and continues to let them fly, while Indiana is over 50% taking controlled shots.
We can see, without opinion, what it's like playing us.

I know we need a strong B1G this year, and I know Hunty McDickface is playing for Kansas, so I also know I can’t ask for them both to lose. But MAN, I CAN’T pull for a team with McDickface on it, and I certainly CAN’T pull for Clown Pants U. Oh, the humanity!
Sparty putting a beat down on Baylor in the 1st half.
Wish I could like this more than once. While my ire has faded over the years, I still want to see Self lose every game; now especially because - Dick. Friday's game vs Yale offers what should be a fascinating match-up between Dickerson and ex-Glencoe native and current Yale 7 foot center Danny Wolf. Yale also has Illinois native John Poulakaidis and a very solid two way pg in Bez Mbeg. Guess someone had to win. Exciting ending.
MSU up 30 in first half 
Look for MSU to be ranked back in the top ten next week
