Saw someone tweet that they would not be able to meet in the tournament until at least the Elite Eight per NCAA rules since they will have played 3 times.

It will depend on how fouls are called. It's over the holidays so most people will be skiing
.yeah, i think it actually took a half court shot to force OT with that team.
Justus had one of the greatest buzzer beaters I have ever seen at CU.
Not used to an ISU team with such crazy depth. So impressed!!
And that Colorado team lost in the first round of the NIT. Must have struggled defensively as that Fizer team gave up 102 out there.
Yeah, very unlikely, but would be funny. I wonder if a team has ever played another team 5 times in one season

With UConn and Gonzaga dropping games to much lower-ranked teams, there's a real chance we move up to #3 here this week.
Kansas, Auburn (in either order), Iowa State looks about right.

i was just coming in to say that. doubt we earn any 1st place votes, but i'd say at minimum we're still a top 5 team come next week.
Yeah, theres just always stupid stuff that goes on out there. The team two years ago looked completely lost out there, but this years Iowa State team is a lot better and Iowa is probably a little worse than 2 years ago.
Jaquay Walls was insane that day. Think he has double digits in ot by himself iirc.
Your point stands though.
As good as Tinsley/Fizer was, that team had next to nothing for depth. Depth makes a huge difference in altitudes. This team is quite a bit different depth wise.
We just went 2-1 in Maui with a blowout win, a solid win against a tournament team, and a last second loss against KenPom #1 and people want to second guess our highly successful coach about who the 9th man off the bench should be.
Never change, CF.

Yeah, Auburn owns any first place votes Kansas doesn't get. They earned that.
Back then the combo of altitude and totally empty gym made it the weirdest game every year. I just expected to lose there every time.
I really think it was more the empty gym factor that led to all the disappointing losses.
We've had no problem with our lungs at BYU/Utah in both fb and bb.
