Jacksonville knocked off top seed Eastern Kentucky in that ASUN tourney tonight too, which leaves Treyton Thompson's Stetson Hatters as the highest remaining seed. (ASUN reseeds every round, so they get Jacksonville on Thursday night.)

Ty Berry (one of their original starting wings) is definitely out for the year. Ryan Langborg (another starting wing) has missed a couple games; Collins claimed after the Iowa game that if it was a tournament-style scenario, he could've played. Matt Nicholson (their starting 5) had some kind of...

I'm excited for the Christie-Mgbako matchup here. Mgbako has been coming on to make a case as one of the top 3 freshmen in the league with Cam and Owen Freeman, and unlike when either the Gophers or IU play Iowa, Cam and Mgbako are probably going to match up directly with each other quite a bit.

Obviously not super likely to shake out this way, but it struck me that New Mexico vs Virginia would be some kind of First Four matchup - the fastest and the slowest adjusted tempos (via Torvik) that are projected in the field (UVA is, true to form, the slowest in the nation and none of the...

Yep, my bad. Hope Michigan State doesn't lose any more home games...

If they drop below #25 it would remove Minnesota's only Quad 1 win.

Maybe Holtmann was the problem...

They do not, at least, not automatically; that is the criteria that was switched out in favor of the 12 auto bids for power conference teams.

Rutgers has been a totally different team since Jeremiah Williams has been available.

Chance to play spoiler is right - next 3 are at Northwestern, Michigan State at home, at Nebraska - PSU's opponents really need each one of those. Gotta give Rhoades a little credit hanging in at .500 in the league at this point with a Year Zero-style roster.

Here's how I'd order them from most to least likely: 1) Iowa. Best chance by a fair bit, I think they're the weakest team of the 5 and have the worst home court advantage (Northwestern's crowds have gotten pretty good). Also they play on Thursday, so we have a 2 day longer turnaround which is a...

Couple things stand out to me about BYU's noncon schedule, as an illustration. 1) They have a home win over San Diego State; that one pretty much speaks for itself. 2) They annihilated teams like #135 Arizona State and #219 Fresno State on neutral courts, and #160 Wyoming and #184 Evansville at...

I'd bet on OSU before Michigan too, if either of them has a turnaround, although it's probably unlikely for both. Michigan's next six games are Wisconsin/at Nebraska/at Illinois/Michigan St/at Northwestern/Purdue. Hard to see them winning more than one of those (or even any of those). OSU has...

Purdue has gotten 30 FT attempts (NW has drawn 2) but has missed 13 of them.

Dagger shot by Ta'Lon Cooper to help seal South Carolina's win at #5 Tennessee.

I actually find Arizona State at least as interesting a prospect for Muss as here (since there's been talk in the past that his wife doesn't want to be anywhere cold) - they aren't going to have the same kind of expectations as Arkansas - they've only made the tournament 5 times in the last 17...

DePaul is a good appetizer, but the closer we get to March, the closer we get to full on coach rumor silly season! (Emphasis on rumor - this account is right sometimes but wrong plenty of times)

Just noticed North Dakota got a win at St. Thomas. State of Minnesota products BJ Omot, Eli King, and Tyree Ihenacho put up 22, 17, and 12 points for the Fighting Redacteds.

They also play in West Lafayette on Wednesday during the Gophers "bye" week. Not sure how this changes the calculus - they could get their letdown out of their system there, or hey, they could come out and beat Purdue again and be primed for a Chicago State-style letdown against us instead.

Go 'Cats (for tonight)! Keep Ohio State in Weakling Wednesday position!
