Perkins and French are gonna be a handful. I'm ready for those two to graduate and move on!
Really curious to see how Grant matches up with those guys.

Drake came back from their pause and swept MO State - both straight up and against the spread. Undefeated.
Epic showdown with Loyola coming mid-February.

Michigan State came back tonight after two weeks of Covid and lost to Rutgers...by 30... And only scored 37 points. I'm beginning to think we may actually have a shot despite those two losses.
Yes, SLU should still be out of synch, would be great to catch them first game back, but this is next best thing. Extra motivation from the wallowing they gave us last year. My prediction, we win by 8. You heard it here first.
My Aztecs are on a roll. Another steam rolling last night. It was funny, I saw an article by a local SD newspaper - basically saying you hate to run up the score, but NET gives you extra credit for winning big against bad to mediocre teams - so as a mid major you have to for your ncaa chances. Again, the thing that really sets them up for year after year success is the defensive mindset. Announcers talked about this at length, doesn't matter who you are - if you are not guarding with full effort, technique and energy you are not on the floor. Wyoming (10-5) coming in was intimidated I believe. Wyoming coach was quoted as saying - we cannot replicate there defense in practice, our guys will just have to get used to it.
Of course Wyoming will probably win by 1 in the rematch Saturday. REally dislike these back to backs - I think A10 has clear advantage in top trying to separate by not having two play same team twice in 3 days.
I think A10 and MW will be in competition for a few bids.

Rutgers isn't bad this year, but beating MSU 67-37 is crazy.
Rutgers started out really hot, then went on losing streak - then this MSU game - wow. I like there coach Pikiell, think they finally got the guy they need.
Rutgers was favored by 3 (I may know someone who laid the points) and was a Quad 1 game for Michigan State. I guess I'm not seeing the connection to our two Quad 4 losses.
huh? I'm not connecting anything to our losses. I'm just saying that score shocked me. any Rutgers team beating any MSU team by 30 would shock me. it's Rutgers. and it's MSU.
No, not you - EL did in the post you replied to.
MSU is way down this year - not even near the bubble. But yes, based on history, that's a shocking score.
The connection is obvious – Michigan State losing to another team by 30 immediately puts us into the at-large conversation.
Lunardi had us and Michigan State as neck-and-neck for the final spot over the past few days. Colorado State has since moved in front of both of us, but at least some bracketology folks consider us and the Spartans very close...at least until Rutgers blew them out.
Kentucky now on pause.

wish UK paused right after we beat them.
Michigan State was already way behind us in that conversation. Lunardi's a fool.
Not according to Lunardi.
The Bracket Matrix hivemind also has had them even or slightly ahead of us.
It's decided then. Head to Head matchup with MSU for the last spot.
You guys have a solid team this year and are ahead of schedule. Even UR fans can see that, no need to come on here and tell us how good you are
I see someones mommy turned the internet back on in their basement.....
Man, they are trying to put an end to the Drake train. 19 point spread!
If you had bet $1 on Drake in their first game, and let it ride every game all season...
....you'd almost have enough to buy a share of GameStop.

Hoftstra got the sweep over UNCW. They’re quickly moving up...were already a Q3 for us before today’s win.
Loyola is absolutely destroying a decent Missouri State team. They were up 41–16 at the half and just cruising through the second half.

Loyola rolls, 72–46...that's 7 wins in a row, 9–1 in MVC, 14–3 overall. They and Missouri State will run it back again tomorrow.
Kentucky has also quietly snuck up to a Q1, so we're 3–1 against Q1 teams at the moment.

Drake survives at home against a bad Illinois State team in OT to remain undefeated. Illinois State had a layup at the OT buzzer to try force another one, but couldn't get it to fall. Needless to say, Drake didn't cover.
Loyola-Drake series in Des Moines in a couple of weeks is looming large.

A two-point win over them is starting to feel like the 20-point win we all thought we should have had.
It looks like Drake was a little mad about yesterday's non-cover, too. Epic showdown in two weeks.
