Interesting comments from Mac on Kalk's jump hooks from outside the lane and how they've added some wrinkles to get him on the move. Kalk really struggles to back guys down using a "crab dribble". We've really seen that over the last couple of games vs Sanogo and Croswell. So while Kalk is effective scoring in the post. He is far, far less effective if he doesn't catch it deep.

KenPom has Jays 77-71 w/ a 72% win probability. I'm seeing early lines at Barstool and BetRivers Jays -7. I mentioned it a little in the PC game thread. I'm a little concerned, but also hopeful that 1 loss doesn't turn into 2.

Providence Game Thread

Toughest game on the schedule IMO. Jays open up -2.5,-102 at FanDuel. Jason Benetti and Raftery on the call. Can't wait for Valentine's Day!

Also catch BJB tonight at 6:00 CST

Seton Hall Game Thread

Seton Hall on Wednesday and UConn on Sat. I'm feeling pretty optimistic for this game at Seton Hall. In the first matchup, CU dominated that matchup and was up by 32 at one point. Seton Hall really struggles offensively. They just beat DePaul yesterday, scoring 69 points. They were 30-45 from the FT line! We know the Jays aren't going to allow them to rack up a ton of points at the line.


Also, UConn hosts Marquette Tuesday

Providence Game Thread

Big game Saturday

Ok this is my spot to piss off the constant negative nellys on the board.

Hearing a few talk about NET. Let me give you some historical info that may keep everyone engaged. Currently the Jays have #2 strength of schedule in the country. How important is that on selection Sunday? Read on.

A few years ago Vanderbilt had #2 SOS. Problem was they were like 19-15. A great debate went on. In or out. They were 2-12 vs Quad 1. They were something like 7-1 against Quad 2. Yeah 15 losses but 9 Q1 and 2 wins pretty strong. And the SOS.

I had them last team in over some strong mid majors and other power teams with 20 wins but with a much weaker SOS. In the end the committee selected them— siting the SOS. They were in the play in game but not the last team in.

Fast forward to CU. #2 SOS. Currently 9-8. Let’s project.

Wins @ home—X,Providence, Marquette, Nova, Gtn, STJ
Wins @ road— Gtn,Butler, SH, STJ,

So that’s 10-4 going forward including 1 home loss and 3 road losses. One win in BE tourney and that’s a 20-13 record. Plus that would be 4 quad ones and 6 quad twos.

I don’t think that’s a crazy run. And with those stats and SOS they would get in with room to spare.

Just shedding a little historical Bracketology light on the subject. Also pointing out that while many are ripping our difficult schedule — in the end it may be the thing that saves us.

Wow another bad post season.

I love Booth and the job she has done. Maybe I see these top 15 rankings week after and I get lured in that we are that good. I hope this isn’t true. But the more this goes on the more it looks like we are the best team in a very average to below average conference. Maybe this is our ceiling.
