Kansas State hasn’t experienced anything like Cyclone defense. It will show.
 
Adequate rest leading to better athletic performance is nothing new.
Yep- I bet that would hold up in just about any sport…likely carries over to the academic and business world too. More sleep, to a point, is a good thing.
 
The last I saw- Lunardi has us as a 3 in the DM bracket. Think that changes much after yesterday’s close loss?
 
Lipsey:

Hunter:

Hunter has the higher upside. Lipsey has the higher floor and is far more steady. Absolutely incredible to see the local kid do this.

TJ and Blount are doing wonders with the PG position. CC Isaac Asuma
100% agree with this. Hard to compare the two in a way because they’re very different players at the same position. Lipsey probably a better fit in this system and this years team.
 
So the net chart shows Tennessee staying at #2 after losing to Kentucky at home. Seems like it hasn't updated.

It's updated. Just so happens the pure NET number didn't move. Odd, yes, but apparently it follows the system that's in place.

UK rose from 65 to 42 with the win, though.

You'd think it'd be more a little of both, but ...

I tend to look more at the Quad records than the strict ranking. Kentucky was another Q2 loss for UT, but nothing further. Tennessee actual rank is above several other teams that have a lot more success at Q1 so far: Kansas, Purdue, Alabama. (as a starting point)

What flaw in net ranking has had St Mary's in the top 10 the entire year? They have a close loss to Houston and one good win. Three other losses that are just average losses. A few blowout wins but most wins somewhat close. Can't figure it out. Rest of the top 25 doesn't look that weird.

They haven't even played Gonzaga yet and will twice so I figure this will stick until the end unless they implode.
 
SO since we all need something to flip out about...
ARE WE PEAKING TOO EARLY???

I think we’re peaking and then we’ll head down a little until mid-Feb when we start heading up again. In terms of metrics there just really aren’t that many needle movers anymore since we’re in conference.
