Considering how many schools are in the city and how many amazing players have come out of high school there it’s bizarre that Illinois does the best Chicago recruiting in the state.

I don't find it that bizarre considering the only other schools in big name conferences are Northwestern and Depaul. DePaul used to be great a long time ago, but has been mostly irrelevant for decades. Northwestern has almost always been bad at basketball, and the higher academic requirements exclude a lot of players. Good players don't want to go to UIC or Chicago State, although Loyola has been slowly climbing the ranks and will probably start pulling better Chicago athletes.

I think if Depaul could have found a place to play that was even remotely close to campus, they would be in a better position. Can't imagine that many kids are that interested in taking the L down to McCormick Place to watch a middling team.

isnt it kind of similar with like, Syracuse being the New York basketball school versus St Johns or whatever

Ah, the good old days. When Syracuse losing to St. John’s was an embarrassing surprise rather than the expected outcome. We might not even be Top 5 in the state. I have serious doubts as to whether we could beat Bonnie’s, Buffalo, Sienna, and Cornell. And we already lost to Colgate and St John’s. I think we could beat Army, though.

JMU has the highest scoring offense, UVA one of the top 5 efficient; naturally this game has been a rock fight

JMU always plays like demons against UVA and could well be a tournament team, so however they get this done

ok, whatever, time for them to go take exams, if Houston gets past Alabama the game could be #1 vs. #2 now

"Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

Picked a great night to go to my first Iowa women’s basketball game for the season, they made a top ten Iowa State team look like what you think of when you hear the words “Iowa State athletics”

https://twitter.com/iowawbb/status/1600659526528557057?s=61&t=YFtc9P1eadTSKzuS-xjp_A

Caitlin Clark did Caitlin Clark poo poo but at least two other Hawkeyes had sick 3s and Czanino had a double-double, the second half was basically the machine running as intended. I hope we play like that more often. It helped that ISU was ice cold and their center couldn’t hit a FT to save her life (even though she shot 40% from 3)

Thinking to myself, surely its not that bad - but no, internet confirms we haven't beaten St John's since 2014. Not particularly close games either

Is there anything to UConn this year? They're up to #2 in Kenpom based on just destroying teams but they're not gonna play anyone else that potentially looks like a NC contender the entire season.

I dunno, it's an entirely different team than last year and real inconsistent.The lack of an experienced big and the knack for going ice cold in games could make it difficult.

This is a Kansas team that has pretty big question marks.

Also KJ Adams is our starting big and he's bad at most things you want from a big. Starting with, you know, being a big.
