Congrats. Lanier and Tennessee are both exceeding my expectations this season. And this is why college basketball is fun. We don't want these things to be too predictable.

@dukedevilz how about doing an end of 2024 eval of all the teams? I don't even remember who I drafted other than a couple people.
A few of the guys you wish you had drafted....

Still a lot of basketball to be played.
what about the guy (I think he's even on your team) who's averaging 23.5/4.8/4.4 and shooting 52% from the field as a guard? No room for him on first team?
Yeah, Dylan Harper is a stud. Unfortunately, you get penalized heavily if you're on an average team. Rutgers will need to be at least fringe-top 25 for him to have a shot, I believe. I'm skeptical that Rutgers can do that; I don't think he has enough support around him. Same as Eric Dixon and Villanova. If either team can sneak into the top 25-30, then they might have a shot.
