So are you applying for transfer portal talent evaluator?;)
Every Yr I'm just impressed with the players TJ brings in, they might not all be hits but he has never brought one in that blows up the chemistry and most of them fill a niche pretty darn well.

I’m am probably the worst at it

Yeah technically he's correct, you have to play the game, but I'll stack this team up against anyone in the nation and believe they'll battle all the way to the end.
I think that’s what Bilas was trying to say. Not effectively but I didn’t take that as a knock on our team.

that would still be a weird quote because it'd be true about just about any college team if you're going by that standard. Well maybe not his dukies because the ACC is bad.
It was a really stupid quote by Bilas. I think he thought he was being sort of complimentary but under no context was it appropriate. And no, Jay - there is no evidence that “many” teams can beat us. There was absolutely NO reason for that part of the quote. It was unprovoked.

how is Duke and or Tenn any team? those are two top ten teams. the quote from earlier in the thread was we can beat anyone but anyone can beat us. I think that is dumb. I don't care one way about Bilas, but if that is what he said, it is dumb.
I didn't take offense. There are certainly several teams that can beat this team. But I think it would take that team's absolute best game.

Also, after thinking more about it, I do agree that there was really no reason for him to say it. Unless he's going to say it about every team. After all, there aren't any undefeated teams left.

This will never happen....but Watson is 6"7. I wonder....if we ran into Auburn again, or a couple other teams with dominant stretch 4s....we got nobody that can guard that Baker-Mazzara freak show (nobody does really) Could you throw him on a guy like that for a few minutes? Will prob never know. Just a crazy thought I had. Athletically, and size wise Watson is right there....maybe he could bother a guy like that.

People thinking Bilas was bad tonight are obviously just anti-Bilas and can’t see through their bias.
He had some weird comments but I love his commentary. He’s probably top 3 I would watch a game and prefer the commentary

It's not crazy. He is absolutely one of our best defenders. He just sucks creating his own offense.

Jay Bilas..”Iowa state can beat any team in the country, but..many teams can beat Iowa state!” WTF?? I didn’t like this at all!
That was a clunky comment but I feel like it just came out weird and wasn't a dig at us. He was super complimentary of us all night. Basically said we were forcing TOs and our TOs were more self inflicted. And he seemed to talk more about ISU than KU.

I thought it looked and sounded pretty great on TV.
I’d like to know more about the coverage/production. Just got home from game. Was it a joke or good? Obviously I’m bias but our crowd is incredibly basketball smart as a whole. I was nearly shocked by that.
