They are biggest/longest team in the league, up their for athleticism, but maybe dead last in skill. They need to play Diallo half the minutes and tell him to keep his hands up high the whole time.

That dunk one of their players had in the first half was incredible. You won't see many worse calls than not giving him the and1.
They have to be the least skilled. Not only are they huge and athletic, they absolutely get after it and play hard. But man most of their guys are unskilled.

Yes. But they certainly have the potential. I thought they’d be a perennial doormat in the conference. I’m not sure anymore. They seem to have support and I think they’ll be a good team in the next couple years with Dawkins there.

I'm fine with that offensive foul on UCF even though Houston shoved him first...but the previous two plays they really got screwed on some calls given how physical Houston plays.

UCF finally in bonus, need to take it to basket every possession and hope Houston keeps missing their FTs when they do the same.

Here are the probabilities for each seed in the tournament. This is using the win probabilities for each game on Saturday on ESPN and the seed scenarios from mred.

For ISU, the only way we get a #1 seed is if we win, KU beats Houston and Texas Tech beats Baylor.

I will try to update this throughout the day on Saturday.

Is it just me that loves seeing Kansas with an 86% chance for a 6th place finish in conference? Then to have Texas and Oklahoma at 8th and 9th place is bonus.

What the bracket would look like under the most likely scenario. There is a 33% chance that this bracket happens.

The BYU fans were very nice in Hilton.

As complimentary as I've ever heard.
Honesty their fans have been great from everything I’ve heard from those that have been to the football game out there or at the hoops games. We shall see how Utah fans are because they seem to be a special bunch.
