Kentucky is missing their starting point guard. Their backup PG is out with cramps. Kentucky was down 17 in the second half, playing after midnight ET on the west coast against Gonzaga.

They're up 86-79 with less than three minutes left in OT. Win or lose, this is so impressive.

I really feel for Indiana fans. They love their Hoosiers so much and this team is a chore to watch. I get frustrated watching them as an impartial observer. I feel for anyone that has an emotional investment in this.

They all are. I think Cooper will get there eventually. He just had 22-11-4-3-2 with zero turnovers in a win over the No. 2 team in America who is physical as hell. As a 17-year old. I think there's an element of still learning exactly what he is.

I hear you, what makes Cooper special isn't as loud as, say, Zion, but for context: When Cooper Flagg is as old as Johni Broome he'll be in the second year of his second NBA contract.

I have a take that I’m a little reticent to share. But when I watch Cooper Flagg, I don’t see generational player. He’s going to be very good obviously, but I don’t think he’s the sure thing superstar like we have been told.

Keshon Gilbert is the most underrated player in college basketball.

Josh Hubbard is No. 2

There are always going to be flaws in UConn's defense because they just don't have the same level of defender this year as they've had.

But the effort tonight, the rotations, have been terrific since about the 14 minute mark. With the weapons they have offensively, that's enough to be really good.

I think those last three possessions really sum up my big picture concern for Kentucky this season. With the obvious caveat that this is a road game against a good Clemson team, all three ended with threes from guys that can make threes but you'd hardly consider a shooter.

I feel for Louisville. They brought in 12 new guys this summer. Four of them are now redshirting due to injury, and that doesn't include Aboubocar Traore, who is out with a broken arm. Three of their top six guys are out.

Ole Miss is very real. They were a box out away from taking Purdue to overtime in San Diego, and they are absolutely putting it on Louisville in the Yum! Center right now.

John Calipari really changed his entire collection of suits, shirts and ties from blue to red just to roll out a team whose offense is this unappealing to watch. Tyson Chicken punching air right now.

This episode of the GP Show opens on Memphis’ 99-97 victory over UConn — and why, given the context, it’s the biggest win of Penny Hardaway’s career.

24:50: @robdauster.bsky.social joins me.

Queen’s got maybe the least aesthetically pleasing game in college hoops but you look up at the end of the game and he’s got 22-11-5. He had 24-7-3 against Marquette. He’s really good.

Eric Dixon vs. Derik Queen has been surprisingly enjoyable today. Villanova falling off has made Dixon maybe the most underrated player in America. There aren’t ten guys better than him right now.

That shouldn't be happening.

I do think Georgia is going to be in the mix for an at-large bid at the end of the day. At least a top 75ish team on KenPom. So this isn't a devastating loss by any stretch.

But it's one that the Johnnies, if they were a top 25 teams, should have gotten.

Part of it is probably the 10am local time tip after a weekend at a resort in the Bahamas when you're playing a Georgia program that hasn't been good in years. But I do think there is reason to be concerned about playing Kadary and Deivon together. Two point guards and stagnant half court offense?

They forced 24 turnovers. They got 21 offensive rebounds. They scored 31 points off of turnovers or second chances. That should be enough.

But the Johnnies managed just 32 half court points and went 2-19 from three. That just isn't going to cut it.

I'm not ready to cut bait on St. John's just yet. They were 24-48 from three in their first two games in the Bahamas -- a game they gave away against Baylor and an emphatic win over Virginia -- but today's date with Georgia showed us the downside of the system that Pitino is building there.
