[@ethanpavlinek9150]

Ayeeee my question made it!! Love the content you put out!!

[@ryanbackner2948]

Love the analysis, look forward to your YT videos a lot

[@cooln8419]

As a duke fan, I haven’t been as hyped about our team since 2019 with zion and friends

[@BulgarianBangers]

Seriously and I know we hype our teams up every year, but this year feels different. The defense is IMMENSE. Go Duke 😈

[@chrisfrancis1346]

Illinois is a top #15 KenPom defensive rating and if you take out one bad game early (Alabama) when the team was still finding it's identity, they are a top 10 KenPom.

[@vincefarelli591]

ur the goat man ur vids always get me through tough times

[@RyanHammer9]

Appreciate that a ton - happy I can help, we all deal with tough times, me very much included so i love the positive mindset !

[@AndersonsLavLounge]

My boy always delivers

[@SpoonsBets]

Great content Ryan, hope you blowup this March.

[@RyanHammer9]

thank you!!!! Only the start of the YT grind

[@maddogxnedndnd8729]

Jaland Lowe and Ishmael Leggett are underrated but I believe they are among the top five backcourts in the country. great video

[@RyanHammer9]

yeah theyre awesome i was gonna mention them too no lie!!! Thanks for the support: )

[@macefiander5761]

Love your content so much

[@JakeKaldenbaugh]

UofA Wildcats are exciting to watch right now, they just buzz sawed through Cincy and WVU, both ranked teams.

[@jwadsworth6680]

Its logan, ut. not only have we had 4 new coaches but we also had an athletic director turnover. Its the fans and the atmosphere

[@Junior1457-n6e]

Mountain West basketball is AMAZING. I’m a Mizzou fan but the MWC is my favorite conference and I’m so sad it’s getting split

[@Junior1457-n6e]

And the environment at games is awesome

[@thecollegecasualshow]

Went to the MWC conference tournament, was so fun to watch

[@thatdude7692]

Its the league i personally watch the most other than maybe the big 12, nothing better than late night chaos between solid teams like unm and csu

[@Knickoson]

Good stuff

[@TravW12]

🔥

[@jesusisking-q5t]

As an Au fan this year has given me so much hope at winning a natty and I want to see it so bad. Hopefully doesn’t end like last season or 2019😂

[@itzcboss3613]

Awesome shirt. Go wildcats. Thoughts on our odds winning a championship?

[@itzcboss3613]

Another thing… thoughts on Kentucky being the only team with 3 top 10 victories?

[@charlieradant]

In the B10 I think the only teams that can win a few games are Illinois, Purdue, and Maryland. Not confident in the Michigan teams or UCLA

[@fr33d0myt6]

🔥🔥🔥

[@calumvancleaf8228]

ryan respectfully you mentioned illinois defense isn’t good enough but at this moment they are top 10 in Defensive rating on kenpom ???

[@evanalexa7728]

Great listening to your content man, i wanna see you hit it big in the college bball world! I do have a fun question, we all know you are a maryland fan, are there any teams you personally “hate” as in a rivalry? As in seeing them win wouldnt be fun for you? As a purdue fan i respect IU as a program but i would be physically ill if they ever had success haha, any teams for you like that as a Maryland fan?

[@RyanHammer9]

appreciate you!!! I dont "hate" any teams really... i think just covering the entire country and sport over time i wouldnt be able to do a good job at it with bias. That being said, in the PAST, I have held hatred for Duke, UNC, Purdue, IU a bit but no more at all

[@evanalexa7728]

@ that’s fair! Just curious cuz when i got into college bball, maryland was in the B10, so wanted to know what ACC maryland was like! Keep doin what you’re doin man, you’ll have a fan out of me! Good luck

[@dylanmccarty5018]

Illinois defense isn’t good enough? Top 10 in kenpom efficiency, are you not a big believer in the metrics?

[@RyanHammer9]

i love metrics but i also believe in the eyes

[@dylanmccarty5018]

@ Can’t blame you, Kylan, Tre, Morez, and KJ (sometimes) are truly the only ones that pass my eye test. Definitely some big holes with Ben, Will, and Big T with the PnR at times

[@dylanterpstra3004]

Go Green

[@elipearson7935]

Tennessee has to “kick the shit” out of a top 5 team to be considered the best team in the nation ????

[@RyanHammer9]

I mean no maybe thats harsh but they need to beat one at least. The other 3 have and the #s support those 3 being top 3 also

[@himoverthere5197]

100% 😂

[@himoverthere5197]

Lulu lemon 😅

[@RyanHammer9]

heyyyyyyy thats my choice if i was a coach haha

[@Bamon91]

Listing potential SEC tournament teams and not even mentioning Vandy? No respect

[@RyanHammer9]

yeah thats on me! I honestly just kept going and u can make a case for ALMOST every SEC team hahaha

[@natephadnis9280]

So that’s why he’s biased against the ACC 😂

[@dreci8005]

Mountain west is the most overrated conference and a boring watch
