Does not surprise me that Butler and the Hall are exceeding expectations. Noted Butler as a potential sleeper team early on. Always felt the Hall was interesting because that backcourt is huge and Holloway is excellent. Also thought Nova was probably too high based on the Neptune Factor.
Did NOT expect Georgetown to be as bad as it is under Cooley. And did not think Sean Miller, as good as he is (and he's awesome) would be able to keep Xavier as afloat as he has.
Still basketball left to play but ultimately the top 3 are still the top 3, DePaul is still woeful, and everyone else in between except for Georgetown isn't separated by all that much
Very well could. Hurley could always recruit, but must say his portal performance is also amazing, incorporating the right guys w/o disrupting team chemistry. He is also going to have a flow of kids entering NBA consistently, obviously a recruiting plus.
Hurley can recruit but he also can coach, they play excellent team ball on both sides of the court.
No doubt, back to his Wagner days you could see that.
Only 2 teams in ncaa with more Quad 1 losses than SJU: DePaul with 9 and Louisville with 8. (There are a handful with 7.) The opportunities have been there.
On the flipside, SJU is 5-1 in Quad 2 and the WVU game seems likely to be Quad 2 based on their trajectory. 6-1 in Quad 2 will be hard to keep out of the tournament, and there are not many (if any) bubble teams will match SJU's overall Quad 1/2 record.
Xavier's had a lot of hard luck with injuries to their frontcourt this year. Remarkable job to keep them in the hunt for the dance imho.

I hate UConn but have to root for them tonight we need butler to start dropping some games.
Sean Miller might actually be the best coach in the game today. Some stiff competition. But he is definitely in the mix.

Weird then that he had to cheat, and destroy other careers while his was merely put on pause.
Butler is a very good team. It's going to be a massive challenge to beat them at their place.
As an aside, watching Posh, I still don't understand why he's seemingly plateaued since his sophomore year. Love that kid, but really expected him to develop into more.

LOL because no other coach (especially not one in Queens cough cough) cheated and threw his assistants under the bus.
Not vouching for his character in any way. But he is tremendous basketball coach
Meh, never made a final 4 at arizona despite cheating + having a f*** ton of talent.
Even after he got exposed for cheating, he brought in some stacked top 5 recruiting classes to arizona and straight up missed the tournament
Good coach, but some cracks in that resume for sure
