While much different teams, I don't even think USC is much worse than Iowa. USC is as underrated as there is in the country. Not real sure how Mobley has been under the radar compared to guys like Cunningham and Suggs. [Reply]

It's definitely the toughest draw anybody could have from this point forward, but I do put less stock in KenPom's ratings than usual this year because I don't believe he's adjusted for the fact that road environments are completely different than past years. [Reply]

Sagarin likes us more - 10th vs 22 for USC
(Btw an Oregon alum once told me they put an “e” dash on the C in “USC TROJANS” at their games. Get it?)
Sagarin says KU -1.5. On recent games (last 10) it’s about -7.0 [Reply]

To be fair, USCs best win is...oregon? They got 3 game swept by colorado, a 5 seed. Lost to uconn. Lost to a bad arizona team. I know they have some good players but they aren't exactly the 97 bulls either. [Reply]
I wouldn't have thought to speculate on it, but the speculation DOES track.
I kind of thought some of the wonkiness in the staging on these latest commercials had something to do with filming during WuFlu.
The weird part I NEARLY did comment on, in the commercial where she writes on the whiteboard with permanent marker, it looks like they left too much footage in at the end of the commercial.
The 'button' on the commercial is her saying 'I'm gonna go get another whiteboard,' and starting to shuffle the 'ruined' whiteboard off stage left, then the coverage moves the scene to the background with the logo and 'caveats' taking over the foreground, . . . but if you continue to watch the background, she stops, turns around and starts pushing the whiteboard back to where it was, . . . like she was resetting for another take or something.

KU v. USC is the late game on Monday (9:40 ET), ideal for the team.
Wilson should be able to play considering that, which is huge considering I think we may have to go small and get Mobley out of the paint to win that game. There’s a real possibility McCormack won’t be able to score effectively against him. [Reply]
