    So is Texas Southern!!
    No one tried to seriously claim Texas Southern as a good win, is the difference.
    I didn't say it was a "good win" cum stain, I said that Ball St. is a good opponent who we beat by 20+. They're a decent basketball team expected to finish near the top of their conference.

    Oregon almost lost to Texas Southern who was 3-9...

    See the difference? Jesus.
    Ball state is not a good opponent. At all. By any metric.
    Net, RPI, KenPom, and Sagarin all disagree with you. Quad 3 is "good". Quad 4 is "shit". Quad 2 is "pretty good". Quad 1 is "great". HTH
    So 75% of teams are classified as good? Sure
    That's not how the quads work. They aren't 25% each. You have to be top 150 out of over 300 on nuetral court for quad 3.

    And last part of first half and most of this half we have been pushing the ball and playing better. Weird.

    Still too many dumb turnovers tho. And we can't rebound this half. For some reason.

    Uw is getting a pass for how terrible they have played this evening. Passive would be the nicest way i can say it. Their record will not translate to pac12 schedule as they are playing

    Hawaii shot 39 3's... one dude was 1-17... their strategy was literally to clank 3's and hope they could get enough offensive rebounds to stay in it.

    I'll give Hawaii credit, they knew they couldn't match up physically, so they did literally everything else to try and pull this one out.

    I thought UW did a nice job keeping their head's together... at the end of the day they made Hawaii look like the chumps they were trying to bate us to be.

    PAC 12 will be tough with Oregon and Arizona. Utah has a big win vs Kentucky too.

    Umm, seems like those two descriptions make the same point cum stain. Or do you mean something else by "good opponent who we beat by 20+"?

    No. They're not one in the same. If it was a good good win I would have said as much.

    I thought beating them by 20+ was a quality performance... a good win would be eeking one out against Baylor.

    I think USC is super talented this year, as well. Just depends if Enfield can get out of the way or not

    JFC. As if the phrase, "it was a good win" had a precise meaning. Fuck outta here with your weak ass rationalized point of view.

    I fucking hate Joe Lunardi.

    You know he has UW currently in the tournament as a 10 seed and dropping?

    But he has Arizona in at a solid 5.

    Arizona has lost to the only 2 ranked teams they've played, Baylor and Gonzaga... UW beat Baylor and lost to Gonzaga...

    Arizona struggled immensely against 2x mid majors in South Dakota St. and Pepperdine... really should have lost to Pepperdine if it weren't for a major stroke of luck on a loose ball late.

    Seriously, fuck that guy.

    Probably true. They’ve mainly beat up on a weak non-conference schedule, but they took down Butler and destroyed Oklahoma (who beat Oregon State). Their Net ranking will drop, but yea, they could be top of Tier 2. I gave the edge to OSU because of Tinkle probably being the best college player in the PAC, but would switch them and USC if I could edit my OP.
