As Hurley pointed out MSU needs to figure out the 5 sooner rather than later. Worried Bonke is just too slow to hard hedge every ball screen. Outside of that they’ll be completely fine. Jasiah looked as good as advertised. Super deep. Will need to make some shots to beat the best
Exhibition Thoughts/ Overreactions (these mean nothing):
- I have been saying it all offseason but I think this Duke team could legitimately go down as one of the best teams we have EVER watched. They’re too deep. Too skilled. Too big. Too long. I’d be surprised if they lose 3+.
- UConn will once again be elite. The Freshman looked like they were upperclassmen. Nik is the most obvious perfect fit in the country. Naji could legitimately win BigEast poty. Silas is a top 5 guard in the country. They’ll hit some bumps along the way just do to pace.
My @basket_review Top 25. This is obviously subject to change and being only 2 weeks away from games still pretty impossible to gauge since 12/25 teams on this list are awaiting eligibility decisions. In other words, this is probably very very wrong.
@dantepang26@basket_review Hey Windham, tough to categorize anything UConn basketball as “hype” atp, but rather well-established expectations. I think the Huskies have a top 5-7 roster in the sport and a top 1 coach. Leading me to expect them to once again be in contention throughout the year.
We should have a 138-team playoff.
But it will be a 12-game round robin format across 10 conferences based roughly on geography.
Then we'll take the top 5 conference champs along with 7 at-large teams and have them play a single-elimination tournament @espn@CFBPlayoff
Idk what the right amount is for CFP but I do think they’re making poor decision after poor decision. NBA worse than ever. The NFL is awful I don’t even watch anymore. Yet CBB every single year better than the last.
The most valuable rosters in college basketball based on the player NIL evaluations from the https://t.co/NEBQZukwEP Front Office Suite:
1. Duke $27.7M
2. Florida $27.2M
3. Illinois $25.0M
4. UConn $24.5M
5. Louisville $21.7M
6. Miami $21.5M
7. Kansas $21.4M
8. Michigan $21.3M
9. St. John's $20.9M
10. Iowa State $20.9M
If a team spent way less than this, it means they got a discount on some great players.
"I'm gonna say this, I probably shouldn't: nine of my players make more than my assistants. And the other three make more than all my staff, and we are not one of the highest payers..."
