    Furd too low. They good this year.
    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.
    *almost took down Butler

    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.
    Why even play the rest of the season

    Ball state is a Good opponent!!!

    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.
    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.
    Huh?

    It's too early to say, but today feels like a must win for the tourney. At least a pretty big insurance policy.

    Unless the offense takes considerable leaps forward and we prove we can break a press against athletic teams, 10-8 might be a stretch in the Pac.

    This feels like a real opportunity to grab a second "good" ooc road/neutral win to pair with Baylor and save our ass if we slip to the bubble.

    I feel pretty good about this game. I have no idea how we could be at 30% win probability that just seems strange.

    We fuct.

    If we come out running and controlling the ball, we'll be fine. But we start every game slow and shit half court offense. It really isn't hard. I truly hope I'm right that Hop is playing that way in preparation for the tournament against weaker competition. And he'll open up the game when he needs to against good competition.

    I’d be surprised if UW didn’t win. Houston definitely not as good as they have been the last 2 years. Keep them off the offensive glass (they have a ton of length and love to crash) and UW should be ok
