Not sure of the answer but the offense needs to be better. Offense still ranked 64th. Turnovers play a role but the tempo has still been very slow.

He needs a redshirt anyway. He's never going to leave early so getting another 4 years would be great for the program.

Defense jumped from 23 to 11 on KenPom after that performance.

It's really small but Bates' ability to create space from his man before he even puts the ball on the floor is incredible. He is a game changer on the offensive end for a team that has lacked any kind of individual creativity for 5 years now.

How did all of you miss this reference? This will go down as better than "always part of the Indiana family" Mike Davis material.

Garcia and Trayce together would have been a dream.

Good call, Bardo. Nailed it again.

My goodness. This defense...

I think Kopp does better when he's able to be featured. I'd like to swap him for Bates. Then he can get a few more touches when Trayce or X are off the floor.

Would expect a ton of these quick 3's from St John's tonight. They have the 2nd shortest average possession in the NCAA so far this year at <13 seconds.

What are we doing here? 50 seconds have come off this clock in 10 minutes and it's a 18 point game.

Apparently the concept of running out the clock up 15 is completely foreign.

Anything that legally makes our guys more money is a positive at this point. Don't care who it comes from.

Can't imagine an easier Final Four route for Gonzaga. That's a weak bracket. Edit: Kansas a 3 seed that was 9-8 in non Quad 3-4 games. 😂

Staff will need the story behind this one. The press release from the Miami program didn't read like Cross was entering the portal by choice.

This would absolutely be the game where the first 19 minutes of the second half are a running clock but the final 50 seconds takes 10 minutes.

Underwood drawing up the game-preserving play in a timeout up 15 with 58 seconds to go. 🙄

Maybe I've just been spoiled by our defense so far but this is the most porous effort defensively I've seen all year. Do not miss this at all.

Illinois this year reminds me of some of Crean's teams. Bunch of talent but slow the game down and force them to play defense for 20+ seconds every time down and you'll wear them down. If we had Brunk to throw at Cockburn, I would feel really good about our chances with them this year.

Interested to see how FSU plays against another solid team in Florida. They are unranked but #18 for KenPom. Gators have jumped out to an early 11-3 lead. Edit: A player has collapsed on the floor during a timeout break for Florida. Waiting for more info.

Does it though?

WOW. Tip-in for the win for Marquette. This Wisconsin team has a long way to go. Will be interesting to see how they fare against Louisville next week.

I don't know how this Wisconsin team is ranked #4. Entirely unimpressive.

Sounds like us vs Texas except it's... Valpo. 🤷‍♂️
