Will X leap Duke?

love it if we were 5 but i don't think we jump Duke. If UVA had continued to beat Duke and not let them come back, maybe have won by double digits, we might have had a chance to jump them. we won't. we will likely be 6.

btw - if there is one team i DON'T want to face in the NCAA tourney, it's Virginia. good gracious. their defense is unreal. we'd have trouble getting 50 against them.

Yes, I was impressed with Virginia as well. And in addition to their top ranked defense, they are pretty good shooting team.
They are ranked in the top in both 3 point shooting % and FT %.

Imagine if he had the caliber of players that Duke, UK, even Wichita State gets. He's the closest cbb has to Brad Stevens. He even made an afterthought program like WSU into a contender during his tenure, and they've fallen back into irrelevance again. He carries himself very well both on and off the court.

I even saw a game when Grayson Allen went off on VA with 25+ points, and he didn't curse at him from the opening tip, or give the perception of trying to rumble with him after the game. The university apparently has a standard of behavior for coaches in their handbook.

MSU down 13 at half, would definitely jump them if they lose to Maryland. Villanova is in a close one just before halftime. Not that we'd jump them if Marquette wins, just pointing it out.

As long at they win the 2nd half by at least 7.5, and the teams score over 77 cumulatively, I'm good with any outcome.

Win or lose vs Maryland, I think MSU is way overrated.

Duke stayed at 4

we moved up to 6 in the AP.
