You sure about that?

Good start. Gotta figure out something better to do with the ball if they are going to basically double Ware before he even gets the ball. Would have loved to see Ware throw the ball of the dude's foot there. Don't feel like you see that as much as you used to.

Interesting that Cupps took that off-balanced jumper. To my mind he hasn't been looking to shoot up to this point in the season, that suggests to me that he has it in his head (I would assume because Woodson told him) to shoot more.

Granted, we're getting our asses kicked, but listening to these announcers talk about Auburn, I'm thinking they must be about 30-0 so far this year and back-to-back national champs.

Maybe our guy got caught in the net? I didn't see that.

They called basket interference? I'm not sure.

I missed the beginning - is every one but X and Newton playing?

I don't know the letter of the law here, does it matter that the Auburn kid stepped forward into MM?

When you were watching for the first time, you felt good that we were about to get a bucket? If you did, then I'm good with agreeing to disagree, but I'd be absolutely shocked if he's been as high as 20% on that shot at this point in his IU career.

I don't have time to re-watch that one right now, but that's very possibly it. Is that a shot you want him to take? Has he made shots from there more than 10% of the time? Even if that's him catching the ball right there, I don't want him shooting it, but I remember it as him driving to that spot, elevating and looking just like Kobe right up until you see the flight of the ball. Again, great shot for Kobe to take, pretty good shot for JHS to take, I wish Kopp would have taken those. Terrible shot for Gunn.

That's still wishful thinking to say he's calming down on his shot. He launched a crazy mid-range jumper that would have been a great shot for Kobe, but was terrible for him. Two made 3's doesn't convince me he's found his range. The rest of his game is really coming along, though.

That was not my experience. Were there different levels of subscriptions? I use Firefox with my adblocker on (despite their warnings that I needed to turn it off, things worked just fine with it on) and it showed zero ads in the replay. Even live, it just had an annoying we will be back logo and no ads.

Don't forget about the rocket pass he threw to Gunn that Superman himself couldn't have caught.

First few games, I feel like Ware's rebounds were just him being tall. Now he's going to get them. MM hasn't gotten enough credit for doing the same all year.

That might have been the single worst moving screen I have ever seen and it goes uncalled - unreal.

I think you're both ignoring that a blowout is going to have a pretty big impact on efficiencies.

The graphic you posted earlier does not support that. Efficiency is just a slightly fancier fg%.... which is improved when you dunk all over weak competition.

No way Georgia is making it. Conference championships matter.

Does anyone know how this show works - are they going to give us an hour of BS and reveal the teams at 12:50 or do they get right to it because other outlets will get the info?

That's fair. But, they had OSU #2 two weeks ago. I don't understand how you could drop them out of the top 6 with a 6 point loss to the number 1 team on a road field.

The AP got things just about right. I'd probably put OSU over Georgia, but they nailed the rest. Hope the committee follows suit.

I think you really have to emphasize past years to see an argument for Alabama over FSU.

For sure, but it becomes less consequential. If the argument right now was between Ole Miss and Oklahoma, I just wouldn't care: either team would be out in the first round or two and unless it's my team on the bubble, I just don't care. Similar to Bubble teams in March, I care a lot when it's us, but hardly pay attention when it isn't. Am I correct that the SEC's biggest out of conference win is Missouri beating currently 25th ranked K-Sate by 3 at Missouri? Why are we so convinced that either Georgia or Alabama is so good? Because of the number of 5 star recruits?

I think you have to give a fair bit of weight to being a conference champion. That puts OSU and Georgia out. If you don't put any weight at all on that, then I agree, those two have very strong arguments, but as it stands, they're out.

Missing from your statement is that Bama struggled with a bad Auburn team and only beat them on some 4th down luck. Also missing is that the refs gifted Bama a TD last night by not reviewing that catch at the end of the first half. That's struggling more than a 9 point road win against Florida and 10 point neutral field win against a ranked Louisville. edit: I see that it is in fact not missing, but I think being underemphasized by the ESPN types.
