At most, every statement about depth was likely qualified with "if this guy works out, or if these guys work out". This year required that at least five or six players worked out or were healthy.

What are your expectations to start the season with Missouri and Maui? I know they havent announced the brackets yet but is everyone content on 1 win in Maui? I know Xavier loses alot but I realistically I dont think we compete with Duke, Arizona, Auburn or Gonzaga. I could see us losing a couple then beating a team like Illinois or San Diego State. Thoughts?
True, see this is why I need you guys to put me in my place when its deserved.
I completely forgot about the Miller scandal. Its a no brainer Ayton goes pro, they lose 2 other starters also. I assume Trier goes pro also? Plus they lost a couple recruits, so they could be a team without much identity to start the year when they show up in that bracket.
Even with a win and not more I don't see them getting in. They would have the lowest RPI of any team to ever get in. And it would be beating a KU team without Doke. Don't know how much weight that would carry.

This analysis is a joke.
If you haven't watched a game in years, you can't describe the NBA in any way.
2 more wins and they are in, beat Kansas and it puts them in serious bubble discussions. Of course if they get in I honestly think it knocks a team like Oklahoma, Texas, or Baylor out, I think Big 12 gets 8 maximum.
Lol, I said I havent watched an entire game from start to finish in years. Ive seen highlights pretty much every day on ESPN since they are obsessed with Lebron. I've even watched minutes here and there while flipping through channels.
Even if I havent watched full games its all the same, 4 guys stand around while they feed the ball inside to their best player, he dribbles around and takes a shot, every once in awhile he will pass and another guy gets to shoot.
I agree with this. I really think yesterday's OU/OSU game was a play in. OU is out and OSU is in.
Someone should show him the spurs of 2013-2014, or the warriors of 2015
The quality of play in the NBA is miles ahead of college. It's not even debatable. Again, it doesn't shock me at all to hear you haven't watched a game for 20 years.

No doubt. Or Boston now, Golden State now, it's not hard to find.
Houston, well, anything might happen there, but not quite what he's describing through Sportscenter clips.
Arizona (NBA) and Xavier (tons of 2017-2018 graduation) will be down compared to where they are now. Auburn could be up, Duke has the best recruiting class ever coming in, the Zags are always really, really good, SDSU returns a lot, Illinois will be better..
If we go .500 in Maui I'd be over the moon thrilled!
Dayton? Committee likes to send teams like this who are struggling that direction.
Maybe, then they wouldn't be in unless they win but with their resume they will get their name called
You know I blocked you over a year ago? Tell me you haven't been directing hundreds of posts my way and can't figure out why I haven't responded.
