They are actually Top 20 in both offense and defense this year. Usually they are a top 5 offense and bad defense. Their metrics align with some of their Elite 8 teams.
That being said wouldn't surprise me at all if they lost in 2nd round.
Watch them play. They don’t look like a second weekend team at all. Their guards are not good.
Yeah, they are too reliant on their Freshman guards. I can see the making the second weekend depending on who the matchup is in the round of 32 but I don't think they get any further.
Not only freshman, but not athletic. Guess who has been winning in March/April? It’s athletic guards.
I've seen them play plenty. Their guards are all really young so I could definitely see them losing early.
Edey is a monster though so he could easily carry them into the Sweet 16.
Rutgers will be sweating it out on Sunday. A win over Michigan won't do much for them this weekend.
They should have Rutgers vs. Oklahoma State in Dayton, first one to 50 advances.

If Penn St and Rutgers make the dance.. They both HAVE to be in the first four..
That conference is the definition on mediocre

I don't know. They beat St Mary's at a neutral site and Virginia at Virginia and swept Memphis. Only losses are to Alabama and a fluke league game that could happen to anyone in league play.
I think they're really good but they just don't get the same number of opportunities for big wins that others do. Thankfully that rectifies itself next year.
That's a feature and not a bug of the selection process, NET and 'Quad' groupings. It gets mediocre P6 teams in the tournament because they are just good enough to win 4 or 5 of their 15 opportunities against good teams.
Seemed likely to come, pretty sure he was high on preseason "Hot Seat" lists (probably last season, too).
Watching the Ohio State - MSU game and the announcer just said Ohio state has been playing as one of the best teams in the country the last 3 weeks….yikes.
Which country? Big Ten country? Maybe. ut that's still well below the level of teams that played in Kansas City on Wednesday.
Heh! Past 3 days, maybe.
I suppose OSU is "playing extremely well" compared to the first 6 weeks of the calendar year.
