Because I don't want to work, here's what a Big XII/Big 10 challenge would have looked like this season if it was scheduled based on going 1 thru 14 in each conference in Kenpom's preseason ratings. Kansas and Purdue are both in Maui and Iowa/Oklahoma play this week, so you'd have to shuffle these matchups around a bit based on MTE's, but I don't know who wouldn't want this moving forward.

I wouldn't want to elevate the b10. I'd rather have a b12 - [big east + Gonzaga + ...] matchup.

If I was on VCU's staff I wouldn't feel good about those TO numbers.

Exactly

You'd expect Milan to have a nice FT shot - but Omaha's FT form is probably the biggest tell of where he can get to. It's smooooth.

Tre is going to be hard to keep off the floor, but I wonder if the 3 guards, Milan and Omaha isn't the crunch time lineup before the end of the year
Tre is a solid FT shooter as well. I suspect hot hand and the opponent line-up will have a lot to do with end of game lineup. Barring foul trouble, Lipsey and Gilbert will be on the floor, along with the best fit for what TJ sees. Tre will be part of it quite often.

I can’t speak for you all, but in normal years I’d sign up to finish the season ranked like this.

This year I think (hope) our ceiling is higher.

Man by the numbers the only things that stands out as "needs improvement" is free throws. How are we top 33 in three point percentage, top 29 in two point percentage, while being 137th in free throws?? Seems to be a TJ thing as I don't remember us being good the last two years.

Do what Ryan Bowen did and have the guys shoot 100 free throws before each practice.
Anyone agree with my now that we need to work on our free throw shooting??

Took a dent with the VT loss...

The good news?

VT is a P6 foe on a neutral court. Ideally you win but that's not a terrible loss.

Texas A&M could look like a really nice win come March.

Here's to 2-1 in Orlando! I think that's "par" if the team can right the ship on Sunday.
