Love for Arizona… Not too much love for Zona so far this year. And Caleb certainly isn’t helping. They lost again yesterday and they’re off to a 4-5 start. Caleb scored only 7 points in 36 minutes of PT. He shot 1-7 from three.

And a Louisville beat WVa. By 9

Tomorrow’s game seems even dicier the more you think about it.

Ant word on Seth?

Not that I've heard. Have noticed the betting line has moved in UL's favor (UNC -1.5, now +1.5), so hopefully not a sign of Seth's status

I recall watching that UL-WV game. UL beat them on the glass and got to the FT line a ton. Tough team for sure

Noteworthy that they did have Kasean Pryor at that time, who is now out for the season. He would've been their starter at the 4

Thanks for insights... Haven't seen UL play yet. Just looked up their record and sched. vs good opponents. Not a betting man, but I would find it hard to go against Vegas in this game. UL victory by single digits seems like an appropriate line given the two teams and how they've played thus far. IF Seth plays (and plays well); IF R.J. can thoroughly come out of his shooting slump; IF we get decent play down low from any combo of 4's/5's; And IF Elliot doesn't turn into a Turn-over machine (40! in first 12 games!) then we may be able to out-score them. What we WON'T be able to do is keep them from scoring. We need a game in the 80's: Us 88 - them 86
 
(22) Illinois 109 @ (10) Oregan 72
32 point margin is reportedly the largest margin against a home AP Top10 team in history.

Illinois moved from Kenpom 18 to Kenpom 8

They destroyed Pitt yesterday. This is the best defensive Duke team in a long while.

Cooper Flagg is for real on that end of the court. That dunk he had yesterday . . . everyone is going to focus on the poster but what stood out to me was a) the agility he showed in getting around the guy trying to seal him off -- I mean, steals happen with those passes but Flagg was able to get all the way around him so easily that he was already headed downcourt as he stole the ball. Then he just blew past the guard at midcourt. Just one power dribble and he was gone. Dude is a freak. I've been somewhat skeptical of him but he is really athletic.

Flagg's big problem is named Wemby. Everyone is saying that Flagg is one of the best prospects, maybe the best, since Lebron. Maybe, but he's still 6'9", 6'10, and I just don't know that a guy his size will have that much impact in a league now adjusting to guys like Wemby, Holmgren, Giannis who are considerably taller and have just as much quickness and agility.

But in college Flagg is dominant.
