Another classic MU-CU game. Great atmosphere at the Bradley Center, tough game, gritty, Ellenson is a BITCH and Fischer played really great with a broken nose. Just classic. Mo Watson again had to put the team on his back, but we hit a couple clutch 3s in different spurts, first half with Huff, then Hegner and Milliken the second. Hope we can break the bubble barrier with this road W.

Go Jays.

HAHAAA rustler. As a Creighton Prep and CU grad most of my hero profs were Marquette High or MU grads... Talk about a fratricidal Jebbie Battle Royale. AMDG dice El Papa Francisco.

You guys have had a rough go of that this season. Glad to see you finally pull one out.

I'm not saying Ken Pom is the Bible- but I do think it picks games pretty well....

Looked at last Year's NCAA tourney. Went 49-18 or 73%. I'll take 73% just about any time. 2 years ago 45-22 or 67%. So 2 years with 70% rate.

You could win a lot of pools with a 70% rate.

That's fair enough. Just realize that 30% of the predictions are going to be wrong when you argue about it in December and January.

1 point on Ken Pom ratings and the projections. When the projection is wrong, that's when the ratings are impacted..... Some times significantly.

SO- lets take Butler/Xavier.... Going into the game- Xavier was 21 and Butler was 34. Butler was a slight favorite. Xavier wins by 17. Now- Xavier is 16 while Butler is all the way down to 47.

We keep playing the best teams in the league tough. Just imagine when our studs show up.
