Indiana WON a ROAD game today. No you did not misread that. The Hoosiers needed this win to insure, wihtout a doubt, a place in the tournament. Yes I realize that Minnesota is terrible (5-11 in conference, 17-12 overall, NO WAY OF GOING ANYWHERE) but this team beat IU on its home court and with this win assure itself of at least an exciting 500 conference record.
Plus, I found out that the NCAA doesn't use the last games as a measuring stick anymore (7-6 in their last 13.) If the season were to stop right now, most experts have Indiana being a solid 6 seed. This is huge considering how horrible IU has been up recently up until this season (I mean TERRIBLE) and I think coach Crean should be Big Ten Coach of the Year. Remember this team last year was LAUGHABLE.

51 straight at Rupp. Ho-hum. Freshmen getting it done.
And there should no longer be any question as to Player of the Year and Coach of the Year honors.
Player of the Year I agree with (assuming you mean Davis lol. I had Robinson there but wow as of late on AD!) but Coach of the Year is a three man race between Coach Cal, Mizzo Coach Frank Haith and Murray State coach Steve Prohm.

Cal is far from a sure fire win of COY. Boheim has a solid chance, leading his team to the same record and standing of UK, in a tougher conference. Frank Haith has probably impressed me the most. Izzo has done a great job this year, too. Taking a team with much less talent than the top tier programs and making them legit contenders, as usual.
IU is ending their year at 5-6 on the road, 6-6 away from Assembly. Obviously not great, but not as terrible as you've been spewing Pondo.
I agree. Their conference record will be around 500 which is still OK. There road record overall is kinda suspect still. I don't expect much out of this team in the tournament (A sweet 16 is prolly about as far as I could see them, depending on seeding maybe worse). Did you not read my post on IU winning finally on the road? Team depends way too much on the three and if Zeller gets in foul trouble, they are in trouble.

Gotta mention Mike Brey, head coach for ND, as a possible COTY. Only team to beat Syracuse and have been without their best player the entire year.
Brey would likely be Big East COTY but will not garner much national attention. Jim Boeheim would also be a contender, but I think the Bernie Fine story/situation might scare voters off. Somebody mentioned Bill Self and yes, he could be thrown in as well but since Haith is FOR 100% SURE gonna win the Big 12 COTY, that kinda makes little sense then.
Izzo SHOULD have been thrown in by me...that was a nice mention by someone and an oversight by me. They were a top 10 team early however they played a brutal schedule and rebounded nicely (pun intended). I think Haith really has the inside track right now. First year coach of a top 6 club.

Have you even watched an IU game this year? I think we almost agree on how good this team is but for completely different reasons. The team doesn't depend on the three at all. They're a ridiculously good three point shooting team, they also hardly attempt them. I'm pretty sure they're first or second in the Big Ten in % and last in attempts. If anything, they don't put up enough threes when it matters.
Your Zeller point is wrong too. He's had a huge impact on the team, but he isn't the team. It hurts IU way more when Watford or Hulls slumps than when Zeller sits.
I think IU is one of the best 15 teams in the nation. I think Kentucky is probably the best team in the nation, as much as it pains me to say. I don't think either will win a National Championship this year.
So apparently SI is releasing a scandalous story about its players and drug use tomorrow that could have serious consequences for UCLA basketball. Not sure how true it is but word is the school has already hired a PR firm to deal with the negative backlash. Would be a shame if true. West coast basketball is always better when the Arizona and UCLA is relevant. If they end up with major sanctions there is going to be no competition in the PAC-12 the next couple years
Small difference... Our chances are 50/50. Yours are like 2%.
A team has to be completely dominant to have a 50% chance at a National Championship three weeks before the tournament even starts. Like, best team in the last 15 years type good.
Obviously they're the favorite at this point, but realistically there's a much better chance they don't win it than they do.

There's a heck of a lot of shakeup at this point in the season. All the prognosticators had MSU as a #1 seed. That's surely up in the air now. Maybe UNC will get back in the running, especially if they win the ACC tourney.
How is Michigan State ranked higher than UNC? UNC has 1 less loss and beat Michigan State
That was the first game of the season. Some teams progress more than others over the course of the season while others digress. This is a pretty simple concept, overall records aren't the best indicator of who the best team is, neither is a victory 4 months ago.

I agree. MSU under Izzo always has been the kind of team that gets better and better as the season progresses. Some coaches have a knack for being able to do that.
