It's obviously impressive
Edited by Blazer on January 28, 2026, 15:31:18
But weird things happen in those Thanksgiving tourneys. Very rarely is what happens set in stone for the rest of the season. Yes, that 40 point win happened, but Michigan isn't nearly as good and Gonzaga nearly as bad as that game would indicate. And since then, they haven't played anyone, until last night. Obviously a very good team, and the metrics are otherworldly. But they're not unbeatable.  Previous Message
