I was listening to a national podcast, not WVU, and they were discussing WVU's upset of ISU. One guy said does any team have 4 better wins than WVU with Kansas @ kansas, arz and zaga neutral court and ISu at home? He said if WVU gets Tucker Devries and jayden Stone back this year, I think they can make a deep run.

Based on what we saw yesterday they will be VERY good if/when they get to full strength. Like top 10 good.

Kinda agree with this….
The way Franny has disengaged himself from the team and season it seems like he’s already made up his mind that this is it and he’s going to make them buy him out…. I’m worried devries jumps on that. He’s starting to act like the tavern hawk he is .

when he jumps from WVU, it will be up to kansas, not sideways or down to iowa.

For Gods sake I hope you’re right…., I don’t want him in ia ******.
But, I keep hearing from the people around Aplington how much of a sukeye he is at heart….
I could root for him anywhere but ia ******

I haven't watched them much, so I'll ask the masses. Is St John's ranked too high at 20? Losses to Georgia, Baylor and Creighton. It looks like their best win is probably New Mexico, followed by Nova or Xavier? They pounded K-State, but many have.

I know I'm splitting hairs since I'm talking about ranking so teams ranked > #20 and they fluctuate frequently. I just want to see Tech ranked to bolster the conference, and it looks like St John's has the most suspect resume ahead of them.

Texas Tech would absolutely destroy St Johns

Fwiw, St. John’s is somewhere in 8 seed vicinity right now, so it’s probably closer to #30 than 20.

Butler got boned out of two possessions at the end of regulation against UConn.
