Don’t want to gloss over 1. Juwan used his shoulder injury last year to work on his form. Kudos. His shot is much improved. 2. Fred’s praise for Boogie as both a leader and acceptor of his role on the team. Boogie’s situation can’t be easy at all. I have so much respect for someone who is making the best of his situation vs causing a stink. It’s rare these days but it’ll take him far in life.

Short update today. Game To Watch: Nebraska @ Ohio St Win tonight and it doesn’t matter what other bubble teams are doing. Let them fight it out for a spot while we cement our spot in the dance. Other interesting games if you want to watch… Stanford @ Utah Michigan @ Rutgers Gonzaga @ San Francisco

FWIW, I think we’d lock at least into Dayton with a win tonight. Not a bracketologist, have no committee inside info, but just kind of looking at other teams and what they still would need to do… what we’ve already done… and our metric numbers, I think we’d lock in tonight should we win. Q1 opportunity on tap! Should be a good one!

Dawson Garcia with as many points in 8 minutes as he had in our whole game.

Running through team sheets of teams around us in the bracket matrix averages. Honestly believe if the season ended today, we’d be closer to a 7 seed than 10 seed. Our metrics are right up there with the 7-8 seeds. Our resume metrics are very good. 26.5 average between KPI and SOR. So I think we’re safely in where things stand now. I know a lot of brackets still have us as a 11 or 10 seed, but just looking at teams around us, a 7 is probably closer to accurate as of today.

His T’s against Baylor, at least the one, was complete hogwash.

It’s always interesting seeing whose records are inflated and deflated due to schedule this time of year. Teams like Purdue look pretty at 6-2 until you see who they’ve played. Us at 4-3 looks surprisingly mediocre until you see who we’ve played.

Idk that Fred could ever get 2 Ts in a single game. So we should be good there. lol

Just one of many Harry Doyle one liners!

Hard not to do something for a guy who is doing so much for you lol! (Keeping our win Q1 while staying out of the dancing picture)

Current league records heading into this weekend.

LOL so funny net thing… it was such a big win for ND that it’s not a Q2 loss for Wake because of how far ND jumped in the NET.

What about one from a team who is struggling and might want to play his senior year somewhere else?

Appears he could be a volume guy though. I thought I remembered him being pretty efficient against us. Turns out he was 2/5 (40%) on threes and 7-16 (43%) on FGs so similar shooting numbers. He also had 8 boards an assist, steal, and block in our game.

Dang— so his game against us was certainly an outlier and not the norm.

Reading too much into this comment.

Results (2/27/24): Moved into 4th (thanks Wisconsin) and Iowa still has bubble life. As always, there were bubble winners and losers. Nevada with a big time shot to beat CSU and BYU with probably the biggest win.

Two big home opportunities in the SEC. Also a double bubble game in the Big East. In the B1G, we’ve got a good one in college park that could allow us to jump into that 3 way tie with NW and Wisco.

I remember a guy from UND, think his name was like Ommot or something. Was impressed with his ability to finish. How’s his season progressed? UND is doing well now and he might be somewhat realistic.

Im saying we rushed the floor because our our big comeback. Not their ranking lol.

Moves us into 4th with the tiebreaker

Welcome to 4th place ladies and gents.

Will they even finish?

Not the AP… but…

I like this a lot better than saying “with how the team is playing, we’ll finish 11th but it’s fun to play around with all the scenarios even though the odds of finishing 4th is basically zero.” As has been done so many times before.
