We are currently boxed in between Notre Dame and Auburn, so it will be either 1 of those 2 or Bama or SDSU who are in progress now with leads.

Looks like they're going against the point differential thing in a couple of instances to ensure teams know who they are playing now before the games are finished and that a couple of teams didn't have to play each other again. So we will be playing San Diego St, which just blew out Oregon.

Williams is strong with the ball.

He's a good player. And if he improves his shot, he has a chance to be a really good player.

His shot is much better than advertised. Tiny sample size, but shooting 55% from the field and 60% from 3. He looks better each and every game. I hope we can pay him enough to come back next year.

If only Dillon Brooks had been available Oregon could have kept it closer.

I should have said if he continues to improve his shot because he has made nice strides this season.

We missed A TON of bunnies. And they hit every open 3.

They were better than us, for sure. But it could have been a much closer game than it was.

I'm glad that this stat backs up what my eyes told me. The gap between those teams wasn't as wide as the score made it appear. I actually left encouraged by our ability to dominate the boards against a good Big East team and fight our way back into it when things got bad. We never quit hustling or fighting. They just hit a dagger 3 every time we tried to climb back into it in the second half.

Those are some ****ty examples but he does need to relax at times - - he is still a likely 1st round with his size and quickness.
