Berke in this graphic. 😂😂

He wasn’t overwhelming. He wasn’t underwhelming.

He was “whelming.” Which is not a place many people ever get to where they’re the perfect amount of “whelm.”

still no respect in KenPom - #17 after win. Way behind Illinois and msu - algo is broken

KenPom still has pre-season data impacting their numbers.

Game 26 or 27 is when all pre-season data is completely eliminated. Fans have been calling on them to adjust it to games 18-20 but they haven't.

Now I really do feel like we have a legitimate shot at being 20-0 going into the Michigan game. Can’t fall asleep though in these next four, especially Minnesota they just upset Cockeye.

One nice benefit of these large conferences is only Illinois gets a revenge game of our big wins.

What locations are we currently projected for the NCAA tourney? Need to start making plans now

Fucking Big Ten schedulers depriving us of even more Quad 1 wins

We don't need more when we go undefeated.

Is Fred gonna get some more NIL and Rev Share money? Or will Rhule just not allow it because he needs 85-90% of it so he can finally go 8-5

Has Fred earned it? Yes, without question.

Revenue share won't be adjusted to benefit MBB, but I strongly believe an increase in NIL is already in the works...

On the flip side, the argument can be made he's doing more with less so can the current formula continue? Fred has done better with lesser known players (2023, 2024, 2025, 2026) than he did with known names (2020, 2021, 2022).

 

[TampaBaySkers]

They beat Auburn by 30 and Maryland by 20 on the road.

Maryland is awful

It's like you don't even want the #1 overall seed

Cockeye will as well

OKC and STL

OKC or STL are likely if we are a 4 seed or above.

Frager, cold fucking blooded. Nuts in the face poster on a 6'10" dude.

No nuts in the face, but poster stands

That’s my thought as well. He’s found his “Money ball” formula and I wouldn’t ask him to change. But he’ll need some for retention of the current group of guys coming back. I would also like to see him have the resources to not miss on guys he really wants because of money. The Bynum kid from Omaha at tOSU would have been a nice piece to add.

I feel like McDermott got away from who he is as a coach this year because he was given a blank check. What id tell Fred is “Don’t change a thing. But know if you need some $$ for a guy you really want it’s here.”

A lot of these computer models seem to favor blowing out bad teams too much.

We are 20th on Torvik and it's mainly due to Winthrop, UC Upstate, and North Dakota.

I couldn't even pick Bart Torvik out of a line up

Keep sleeping mother fuckers

 

[kctitans]

Fred has a huge decision to make coming up. Does he accept the likely #1 seed or turn it down to defend the Crown championship. People as asking

Yep. And that’s why Cockeye is where they are
