I basically said that after the Kentucky game. Super overrated team. One good player
Maui Invitational
- Thread starter della
- Start date
I learned so far this season that neither Purdont nor Kansass are going anywhere this season. Both extremely overrated.
Purdon't is pretty ****ing terrible. They've got one player and then a couple guys who are on the every other game plan and the rest of the roster is pure garbage. Kaufmen, Gillis, Furst, Coven....all absolutely terrible.
There is absolutely no way Purdon't puts together even 3 consecutive good shooting games in the tourney, let alone 6-7. They can't even shoot free throws!
As for Kansass, they might very well be the most overrated pre season #1 team since 2022-2023 season.

Seems to be a certain fan base missing from this discussion. They have been here this year so far. Wonder why? Hmmmmmm.
Btw, guess they should drop out of the rankings. At least that is what they said about Duke.

Big C does that after every loss. None of that's true, other than that there are flaws in the roster. Like I've said, losing their most talented guard right before the season started hurt. I was surprised that they stayed #1.
The "one good player" take is weird though. They clearly have two elite players. The main problem is they're getting nothing from their bench or Elmarko Jackson, who was a projected 1st rounder.
But it's early. I wouldn't expect a team with this many newcomers to be hitting on all cylinders yet, but I would expect that from a team with a ton of continuity like Marquette.
Keep in mind, that this is from an unbiased opinion.
meat stick.... like a Slim Jim.
Undercard should be fun. Tennessee's relentless defensive mugging and Hunter Dickinson's bitch ass. Might produce some fireworks!
Two games vs relentless defensive mugging teams within roughly 12 hours. Gee, I can't wait!
Funny, you dont seem so easy going when other teams lose.
Dont worry, Billy will figure a way to cheat his way back.
Wondered about that, as well. All I can figure is he cramped up on Monday against Syracuse, and maybe he was starting to show signs of that again? Seemed like he was on the bench for a solid 10-minute stretch. I can't imagine why else you would sit your best offensive threat.
6-7 games? You think Purdue might be in the play-in game lol?
Marquette/Purdue matchup should be fun. Marquette really only plays 3 bigs, so they won't have the luxury of multiple bigs using all of their fouls like Tennessee did. Still, you gotta double up on Edey. Btw, why doesn't Barnes play Tobe Awaka more? That guy is a dude! Might be the strongest player in all of college basketball. If you need rebounds, Awaka can clean up the glass!
Between Tyler Kolek-Kam Jones, I gotta think Marquette has the best 1-2 backcourt combo in the country. Phenomenal duo.
Crazy to think that either Tennessee or Kansas will be leaving Maui with 2 losses. Though, the way Kansas played last night, seeing them pick up 2 Ls wouldn't be completely mind-blowing.

Also crazy to think they were down 14 to UK in the 2nd half. They could easily be 3-3, but UK blew it. still, 4-2 is a crazy way to start the season before November ends for offseason champs.
5-1 isn't so bad.
I don't think I've seen any of you mention your missing 7 footers yet this morning. Kudos!
Have you gotten me confused with someone else?
I honestly don't remember saying anything about our 7-footers as an excuse.
And Kentucky could easily have lost at home to mighty St Joseph's.
Sucks that KU already has two losses though. Could've sworn the record was 4-1.
They were very fortunate to escape Kentucky. On paper, they seem like they should easily be a top 5 team. There are some things to clean up, but I think they'll get there and likely be a top 10 team when the regular season ends.
I'd also like to see Self utilize this Furphy kid more. He looks like he could significantly elevate KU's game.
Haha truth. Let's not pretend like Kansas already lost to Tennessee. Should be a good game.
Tennessee has faults of their own. They're still prone to going on cold spells for significantly long periods of time.
how many games to get to the end of the NCAA? I wouldn't know, been a while. Not that a Purdue fan would know either.
6 to win the whole thing. So, according to my math, you need 5 to get to the title game.
