I know it's kind of early in the season, but do you really want to stay with Indiana State as your pick?

Is Larry playing?

Clemson is 8th. CLEMSON. It is truly bizarro world.

To be fair, they have not had to face the free throw defense of Kansas.

They did beat Notre Dame. At South Bend. By 13.

Think Duke would take that right now? I would.

They also lost to Belmont by a point. Which is better than some teams.

I can think of worse choices. Like unc.

No, but here's their roster if you'd like to familiarize yourself with hurleyfor3's pick for the natty next spring .

Small samples lead to surprising results. But it still hurts to be worse than Duquesne and Sacred Heart (and 148 other teams) at this point. Of course, we've faced tougher FT defense than they all have, but still...

I think we'll be OK if we shoot 70%. Less than that brings trouble. Big trouble in big games.

Alternative universe, or, as we frequently say here, "Too small a sample size."

Are you gonna jump on the "hurleyfor3 Indiana State for national champs" bandwagon, too, Jim?

Like the Belmont reference, BTW, too.

With or without PJ and McDonald?

Could I at least get a larger sample size before you spend the rest of the year holding me to that?

Louisville is dead last and Syracuse is in the bottom 10. Bad news, especially for Loovul and Pitino's "press all the time because they can't call everything" strategy.

Hurley, bold calls declaring that Indiana State will win the Natty, and that neither Louisville or Syracuse will make the NIT.

Of course, I may be extrapolating your conclusions from a small sample of posts.

"Literally"

Pitino's "press all the time because they can't call everything" strategy.

Hfor3, you make me laugh! Brilliant observation.
Sadly, I think they can and are going to call everything all the time, everywhere, forever and ever and when they can't, they'll fake it.

Absolutely on the larger sample size. I think I kinda/sorta clarified that in a later post about small sample sizes (Junior Samples not included.) I'm hoping we can be 70% or better for the season as someone posted upthread.

NC Central Time!

I suspect Belmont's upset of Carolina is going to later result in all sorts of transitive property hilarity and riot by late January or February.
