At halftime. Seth Davis is talking about grambling v Purdue…..man they are a little more dangerous than FDU…let’s see what they can do…I’m just sayin’….jay wright….it is a tough matchup for them (Purdue), but they spent their non-conference schedule preparing for this by playing teams like grambling because they know they’ll play them in a 1-16 game. Puke!! We beat them by 55. Guess we get punished playing these teams but others it’s like preparing for the tourney.

Did UNC beat any tourney teams by 55?

Boise is making far more hustle plays but Colorado just better hitting shots keeping it close.

I expect Colorado to be like they used to be when they rejoin next year. Easy to beat at Hilton but we'll lose out in the altitude and weird empty gym on the road.

Weirdly I am kinda sorta hoping the Mountain West does well overall this year. Not beating Big 12 teams, obvioiusly.

It is kind of crazy that their top half was just objectively stronger than the Pac.

Reminds me of the MWC football in the early 00s where it was clearly better at the top than at least two "BCS" conferences. A lot of population growth in some of those areas, only makes sense.
