Every single year the Ivy League takes a break from fucking up the world through its various alumni to fuck up everyone's bracket instead.

I don’t think anyone in this sport is 100% clean but Tony Bennett getting wins stripped for anything would surprise me more than probably any other coach out there. At least besides the ones the NCAA wouldn’t dare punish for other reasons.

I didn't mean anything towards Virginia, it's just an automatic go to reaction to make fun of Louisville.

Geo isn't the best player, he just plays the most because he has the most seniority. Honestly, I think he's the fifth or sixth best player on the team, and it's actually good that he's not playing these games.

So Roy Williams is whining about his team, and Pikiell is kicking rear end with 0 star guys no one ever heard of. Myles Johnson might turn into a lottery pick next year, and no one had ever heard of him before Rutgers signed him.

Good win for Kentucky at Georgia. First true road game of the year, and first time winning this year after being down at halftime. Second half was the probably the best offensive performance they've had this year, despite at one point being 4-12 from the FT line (they came in the 3rd best FT shooting team in the nation, over 80% as a team).

Fun box score:
FG 31-62, 50% (good)
3pt 6-12, 50% (good)
FT 10-20, 50% (bad)

I mean it's arguable. Ron Harper is going to be their best player I think but Geo is their best pure scorer and has been the guy the last few years. Either way it was hella fun tonight and it's about time this program had a pulse. I will probably go to the rest of the home games at the least.

Rutgers has been great the past four games. It's four games. But IF they keep playing like this, they've been looking great. The story of this team is Steve Pikiell is really good at scouting and development, the team is a bunch of misfits nobody wanted for the most part. They've been improving markedly each year, them being top 40 isn't weird at all, they were supposed to be top 40 preseason until Omoruyi transferred.

Rutgers was a very good program in the 60s/70s.

Good News, Fellow Big XII Poster...

My Handy Dandy Guide to The Big XII Is Out

Big XII Power Rankings Week 1
1.Baylor Bears, 11-1 In Smoking Musket’s last edition, I said there was a good argument for putting the Bears on top. That argument is even stronger now. In fact, Baylor has one of the best arguments to be #1 in the nation. Scott Drew’s squad are the only team to have beaten 4 Top 25 teams and their lone loss was to Washington, way back on November 8, in Alaska.
2.Kansas Jayhawks, 12-2 The Jayhawks want to reclaim what is, to them, essentially a birthright in the Big XII regular season title. After watching them against WVU, they absolutely have the ability to do that but I am really curious to see if they can get road wins against Baylor, WVU and Texas Tech.
3.West Virginia Mountaineers, 12-2
4.Texas Tech Red Raiders, 10-4 Since losing three straight, the Red Raiders have won five of their last six, including the upset of Louisville in NYC and gave Baylor a scare in Lubbock. They also had close calls against Southern Miss and UT-Rio Grande Valley. The scheduling gods also gave them WVU immediately after Baylor (on the Road) and then later rewarded them with Kentucky and WVU again four days later.
5.Oklahoma Sooners, 11-3 The Sooners separated themselves a little bit with wins over Kansas State and Texas. Up next, Ames then home to face Kansas.
6.TCU Horned Frogs, 11-3 TCU gets the nod at number 6 for being undefeated in the league even if both of those wins came but just 2 points each and against the worst two teams in the conference. Still this is a results oriented industry and those are games you must win if you don’t want to go to the NIT.
7.Oklahoma State Cowboys, 9-5 After winning the first seven games, the Cowboys have won just 2 out of their last 7 games. In fairness, all five of those loses came to likely tournament teams. A road test versus TCU is a chance to course correct.
8. Texas Longhorns, 10-4 The Baylor loss was ugly, but not unexpected. Losing to Oklahoma at home for the first time in four years, though, has absolutely turned up the heat on Shaka Smart.
9. Kansas State Wildcats, 7-7 Pros: not the worst team in the league. Cons: Probably eliminated from NIT or NCAA contention already.
10. Iowa State Cyclones, 7-7 I always kind of wondered how long it would take for Hoiberg’s aura to wear off or if Prohm was legit. Think I am finally getting my answer.

Iowa followed up losing to a trash Nebraska team by blowing out Maryland, because the Big Ten is very normal.

Not sure Iowa can maintain a tournament pace with their depth issues but having the Garza/Weiskamp combo should give them in a punchers chance in most games.
