Yeah, I wasn't even going to mention that game but saw they're top 20.

The twitter melt after their last lost was so tasty. Many of their fans were DONE(!) with them. But I bet they'll be watching today.

If any of you knowledgeable peeps have some ideas on point spreads today, it would be much appreciated. Our apps are live now and I can't wait until NFL tomorrow to get my fix.

I think they are a top 15 team this year, but 9 is probably too high right now. The issue is only one of the three guys they need to hit shots (Wilson, Braun, Agbaji) seems to show up. If two of those guys are making shots, it’s a different team.

I like Baylor (-9.0). Only one game under double digits, and that was a last second three by KU on Monday. Baylor was coming off a Saturday game, and KU had six days off. Oklahoma State is a good team, but I don’t think they’ll be able to keep it in single digits.

Baylor and CBS should be fun. Will be interesting to see if Cunningham can carry that team to an upset over the Bears. Sucks for him that he's only averaging 3.8 apg because he should be around 7 if he had a better supporting cast.

Sucks that Gonzaga is in conference play now because they'll go undefeated without much challenge, but they're still so enjoyable to watch

they have scorers on the team but they are too inconsistent much like their team play

lack of any real threat off the bench (especially a big)is concerning as well

Completely agree. It’s Cunningham and everyone else. I just don’t see them pulling it off against Baylor.

I’m slightly glad Baylor-Gonzaga didn’t happen in the non-conference because if/when KU gets knocked out of the tourney, that’s the game I’m hoping to see. Gonzaga is just cruising at this point.

I agree with everything you said. Sometimes it’s good to have multiple guys who can step up offensively, but too many of them are hot for one game then cold for three. It’s not a balanced trade-off.

I know Bill is hoping Enaruna or Grant-Foster can be playing big minutes by March so he can go five small with Wilson and one of those guys. Just tough to see right now. Thompson getting hurt robbed them of the one guard on the bench I think Bill trusted.

Some of these Basketball schedules are really wacked

Some teams are playing 3 games vs same conference team, then 3 vs next conference team, etc.

Others playing 2 home, then next time 2 away vs same team.

He's the No. 1 pick in the draft and it's really not close. I guess if you need a PG you can go Suggs or if you need a C you can go Mobley (who needs to put some weight on), but Cunningham is easily averaging 20-7-7 in the NBA

I definitely agree. Suggs was pushing him, but feel like Cunningham will be the top pick.

OSU should definitely play through him, but if he had one or two guys that could consistently help, they would be an unbelievable team.

Tech beat Clemson’s arse this week and FSU will likely do the same. Won’t be ranked for much longer
