    NET ranking was 19 coming in and another easy win, which means they are going to the tournament.

    i was sitting many rows behind shaq. that people have the audacity to come up and try to get selfies with him while he is trying to watch his son play, it speaks to the toxic influence that social media has on our culture. leave the man alone, who gives a shit what you post on your insta

    All of them.
    But you keep refining your query down to the point nobody qualifies.
    But first you need to understand that having four year players is fast becoming a rarity.
    Cam was going to play college for one year because he had to per NBA rules. To get that level of talent you sell him on making him a better NBA prospect in that one year. Will he become the next Maravich in that one year ? Of course not. But you still get an elite player.
    Then there is the rapidly growing evolution of the transfer portal. Even fewer 4 year kids and ones with a revolving door of coaches developing them. But they all do get better. As much better as in the old days ? Nope but the game has changed and every D1 coach is doing everything they can to make it work as well as it can.

    we did beat Kentucky, sitting solidly in 6 seed territory. Both are winnable but the Razorpigs will be tough.
    we are fine.

    We clinched a spot by winning a Q3 game, in addition to a Q4 win, while dropping a Q1 and Q2. If we don’t win any better than a Q3 game before the NCAAT, our marquee wins are pretty flimsy.

    We have a chance to get some good wins going forward, but I still don’t have faith. We may make the NCAAT, but what I’ve seen looks worse than a 6 seed.

    This team will make the NCAAT, but it won't be around long. The talent is there, but the coaching is not. This team has more talent than 90 percent of the teams in the NCAA, but they will get beat by a team with much less talent because they are disciplined and well coached. This team has no identity and all of WW's teams are up and down because of that. This season LSU has three big bodies in Reid (6-11), O'Neal (6-10) and Days (6-7) and should be owning the low post. Instead, all three are jacking up threes like Steph Curry. Coaching matters when you get to the NCAAT, if you want to advance far, but LSU fails miserably in that category.

    Only WW could connect beating Missouri (another SEC tomato can) to clinching a spot in the tournament!

    a notable thing about a win is that it isnt a loss, which hurts your tournament chances. perhaps you are aware that losses hurt your resume?
