WTH was Nembhard thinking at the end of UCLA - Zaga? Heaved a half-court shot with 4 seconds left. SMH

100% Gonzaga will remain top 20 (and above us) even with 4 losses... have done nothing to warrant that but just how it goes with the AP solely because you are ranked #6 to start the season.

But good for them. They'll have the next two months off, get a free 1 seed, while the power conference teams grind it out for every scrap day in and day out.

Gonzaga’s wins in November didn’t age well. They’re going to be an interesting team to seed in March.

They still look pretty good.

Currently #5 in NET, #6 in KenPom.

2-4 in Q1 games and no losses outside of Q1.

Very similar resume to us at this point. We’re #14 in NET and 2-3 in Q1 games, no losses outside of Q1.

Assuming we win tomorrow, we’ll likely be within 1-2 spots of each other in the AP.

Yep, but at this point is key. As things stand, they aren’t playing another top 50 team in the regular season while we have 14 games left against current top 50 teams.

CBB officials need to be consequentialists. What was the outcome here? He kicked nobody, taunted nobody, excessively celebrated nothing (as there was nothing to celebrate) -- i.e., there was no harm, therefore there should be no call.

Perhaps CBB needs to implement "advantage" interpretations as well. This might eliminate or at least significantly reduce the ticky tack calls that are causing the free throw contests we've had to endure recently.

I’d like to see a consequence for grabbing the ball after a basket

Winthrop getting a lot of good looks from 3 and haven’t made them, but they are still hanging around at IU. Think they will hit enough to make this a game, maybe even steal it. Winthrop is 189 in KenPom.

Not a more meh program in the BIG, maybe the country than IU right now.

Luke with a solid 8 4 game. A game in which IU could barely beat Winthrop?

P.S I have a feeling the Puds are about to lose at home (y)

Hard to believe IU is this bad. I don't think they are. They're just playing down to the competition. Against us, or any other quality team in the meat of conference play, I don't think they'll be this bad.

But man they have not looked the part against these cupcakes. Even their other games were like 5 points at half.

His production and minutes lessened at the start of Feb. He looked overmatched during the run. Had a nice game in the B1G tourney and against Morehead St in the dance….but then again it’s Morehead.

Maybe no one mentioned it but was glaringly so.
