I can see it paying off and them peaking in March just in time for a run.

I can’t. The last time a freshman laden team won it all was 2012 Kentucky. Seems like the teams that have been winning the last decade are much older.

really wish we played Uconn instead of CU. Really dont want to play them 3 times or in a rare occasion 4.

I’d prefer the win instead of a loss. Not our fault that UConn lost again.

Semantics but I didn't say they'll win it all. I can see them going on a run.

Dayton is not a bad team. Weird take.

yeah, currently looking like a quad 1 win. VCU and VT ended up as quad 2 (and we lost to VT, that still would have been a decently helpful win for our SOR).

Watching Auburn from a 'not against ISU' POV and they have some dudes.

We need Dayton to win the A10 and be a Q1 team. I think they are especially watching them go up by 21 last night

Really hope in Auburn just takes North Carolina to the shed. It would make me feel a lot better.

so... dickinson got booted for kicking a duke player on the ground? i think thats what the announcers just said?

Yeah, they both we laying on the floor after a hard foul. Dickinson's feet were beside the guy's face. So he thought it was a genius idea to kick the guy in the head.

[ClonerJams]

You know, I'm starting to feel better about losing by 2 to Auburn

 

[CycloneJoe6]

Yeah Auburn is pretty damn good

UNC can not handle Broome.

Auburn up 19-6 early

 

[NorthCyd]

Auburn on an 80 point pace.... for the first half.

So far, so good.

To be fair we also thought Auburn couldn’t handle ISU after the first half last night lol

Well, that's what i get for posting while drinking, lol

This is the exact same thing that happened last time in Maui. We **** the bed in the first game then played 2 bad teams that didn't help our resume at all that year.

Dayton made it to the round of 32 last year but i also know they lost their best player as a lottery pick so not sure how good they'll be.

Dayton is better than anyone we beat in the non conference last year. They very much look like a top 32 team or so so far.

We did?

They cut the lead before ISU closed out the last minute.

Apparently 15ish point leads can go away quickly in a basketball game.
