Huge win for Louisville, even if Indiana was overrated. Former Duke commit Mgbako had 8 points in 29 minutes for the Hoosiers.

Was this posted or discussed before? Late in the Dayton-UNC game on Monday night, Javon Bennett of the Flyers flies off the court and knocks over Roy Williams. He's fine, so it's funny.
Here's the ESPN short clip.
The Field of 68 also posted the video. The picture's not as good, but you get to see Ol' Roy's bewildered expression while he's down.

Now I'm hungry for Cookout.

Louisville followed up the Indiana victory with a win over West Virginia. The Cards now play Oklahoma later today for the Battle for Atlantis title. The Atlantis is one of the better holiday MTEs and a win would likely put Louisville into the top 25.
Very early but 5 ACC teams -- Duke, Pitt, UNC, Lou, and Clemson -- are putting themselves in a good place to get a NCAA tourney bid. The rest of the league... not so much.

Wake Forest might make the tourney. Beat Minnesota today; hardly a big win, but they can’t afford to lose that one. They need (1) Efton Reid to play much better, and (2) to get Biliew back by late January, when they have home games v. UNC, Duke, and Pitt, and @ UL.

Big win for Pitt.
Wow, I saw them down by 4 with 7 seconds to go and figured it was over!

Huge! While the bottom of the league is indeed “meh” at best, it’s looking like the Top 5 could all flirt with being ranked throughout the year. That’s a very positive development relative to the last couple years.

Terrible break for Louisville. Pryor goes down with what looks to be a bad (knee?) injury.

Last year when the first NET rankings came out in very early December (so coming up!), there were 4 ACC teams in the Top 37. Right now there are 5 ACC teams in KenPom’s top 38. That data point, amongst others, tells me that the ACC will end up being better in the most important metrics this season than it has been in these last few down years. We’ll have to see if that holds, of course, but there’s reason to believe there’ll be more opportunities for us in conference play this year.
that's an oddly specific number....

Haha not oddly, but specifically where there’s a gap… but also gives a sense of teams with a chance to be NET Top 30.

I'm just skeptical of binning especially on non-round numbers as there's as apt to conceal the overall distribution as anything. It's a "hey...how dare someone try to use my own scam on me!"
