Talking T25

[greenminer]

It's January 13 and here are some MBB T25 randos:

How will Duke's Maliq Brown injury impact their NCAA hopes?
Auburn or Vols, who's better?
Is Memphis (#18) over or under rated?
kinda tired of reading about UCLA's Cronin being "tired of it".

If this needs to be moved to Eagles Nest, feel free to do so!

follow up:

How will Duke's Maliq Brown injury impact their NCAA hopes? - this is gonna hurt.  Unless the next man up is just as good.  Which, would be sooo Duke.
Auburn or Vols, who's better? - Tigers
Is Memphis (#18) over or under rated? - probably right where they need to be.  Memphis will beat people ahead of them, and lose to a few below them.  Think Tony Romo, but MBB.
kinda tired of reading about UCLA's Cronin being "tired of it". - get him off the news!

I think Duke is still a real threat to win it all.

 

I think Tennessee is probably better.

 

I could see Memphis making the Final Four, and I can see them losing in the round of 64.  They're probably more like a Sweet 16 team though.

 

A couple of weeks ago I thought UCLA was a Final Four threat.  Now they're in freefall.

They still have probably the best player in NCAA. Flagg.

Auburn or Vols, who's better?

Toss up

Is Memphis (#18) over or under rated?

slightly overrated. I think they should be ranked though. Maybe it is selfish reasons. For our conference.

I think Duke will be fine and likely be a 1 seed in the tournament, the ACC is not as strong this year so they really don't have a lot of competition left.

Auburn vs Tenn, they play at Auburn later this month so we will see.  

Memphis at #18?  They were punching above their weight class in OOC play, and undefeated in conference play, I think thats fair ranking for now.  I could see them as a 5 seed now, but any loss on their remaining regular season schedule could bump them down to an 8 seed.

My initial thought was, if they lose a few games leading into the tournament, it could hurt their seating and thus the path becomes harder for them.

I thought Memphis was really good, and we played them well.   But ECU on Saturday played them to a tie into the last minute before losing by 4 also.  Now I think Memphis is just bi-polar; you don't know what team will show up.
