And that wasn't even the craziest thing that happened in the aftermath of that race.

Donovan Atwell has to be the best shooter in the country. Guy is absolutely lethal.

One other side note — though this may come off as a bit too down the road — but our priority in the B12 is needing Iowa State to lose. They are currently projected as the 5seed in the B12 tournament. If Texas Tech wins, ISU will face Kansas as the 4. If BYU wins, ISU will play Texas Tech as the 4.

It’s close, but IMO Kansas is the slightly more likely team to win in that scenario.

TTU won at Iowa State.

Texas Tech imploding.

What, if anything, would a loss to Colorado do to Arizona’s lock on a #1 seed?

 

[PNWIllini]

As a result NW guarantees themselves a bottom 4 B1G finish and will play day 1 of the B1G tourney.

You hate to see it

I can't claim to know what the committee would think. They're probably safely ahead of FL in KenPom but not in Torvik. I don't have a good feel for BPI, but my guess is it could be close.

Edit: probably moot now

BYU beats TTU.

Thornton, Wagler, Fears, Stirtz, Martinelli, Lendeborg, Boyd, Steinbach, Smith, Sandfort, Tyson, Wilkinson, Bilodeau

Pick 5 of those, and I think I'd have the first 5 as my first team.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

First team: Stirtz, Wagler, Fears, Sandfort, Lendenborg

Second team: Boyd, Smith, Thornton, Biladeau, Morez

Third team: Dent, Wilkerson, Blackwell, Martenelli, Mara

I think Braden will still make 1st team though undoubtedly it's more up in the air than anyone could have thought coming into season.

TKR/Cluff are a brutal fit in that frontcourt but they really don't have an alternative on that roster. I think Jacobsen will be good in future but they'd be wise to be a floor spacer next to him

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

That was scary. A BYU player was literally having seizures.

 

[moonpies]

If analytics and kenpom is so accurate then how did 67 Belmont get dominated by 194 drake

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

TTU won at Iowa State.

Absolutely. But Kansas is the more talented team.

I think they are very good. I don’t see them on the same level as Duke.

We won’t get Michigan, so the only team I’d REALLY want to avoid at this point is Duke.

 

[ImGonnaBeILL]

Looks like the fan was saying "I bought a ticket!". Buddy's pretty fired up about a game pitting 2 below .500 teams.

Season's over pal. Go home.

 

[NarrowJ]

Didn’t see mentioned but Duke had two starters in walking boots last night: Ngongba and Foster
