It's crazy that the Indiana Hoosiers are the last undefeated men's basketball and football teams in D1. Come to think of it, has any other D1 school ever gone undefeated in both sports?

Should Brad be interested? Missi is just 21 years old and has upside. We also get to keep Simons if ever. Thoughts?

So after 2 years of playoffs here are some stats (I believe I calculated correctly) * is obviously a champion. 

4-1 - Ohio State*
3-1 - Indiana*, Miami, Notre Dame
2-1 - Texas, Penn State, Mississippi
2-2 - Oregon
1-1 - Alabama
0-1 - Arizona State, Boise State, SMU, Tennessee, Clemson, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Tulane, James Madison
0-2 - Georgia

Just 4 teams made it both years: OSU, IU, Oregon, and Georgia


Conference Records

Big Ten - 11-5 (with both champions - 9-3 when not playing each other)
SEC - 5-8 (3-6 when not playing each other)
ACC - 3-3
Big 12 - 0-2
Small Conferences - 0-3
Independents - 3-1

Teams on bye 1-7, only Indiana this year won after having the bye.

Something I found interesting, is the Big Ten's 5 losses are only to teams that played for the national championship.  Oregon lost each year to the fellow Big Ten school that won the title, and the other losses were to Indiana and PSU to ND (which lost to OSU) and this year OSU losing to Miami (which lost to IU).  So if you beat a Big Ten school, apparently you will play for the national title (at least through 2 years).

IU was 6-0 against AP top 10 teams this year.  Before this year, all time they were 6-116-1.  That is why there will be stories about this season.  Just so improbable, even with last year making the playoffs.

The C's are pretty easy for this, but a team like the Thunder or Spurs is a much more interesting discussion.

Like for the Thunder - SGA, Chet, Jalen are very obvious, and I'd assume they'd keep Wallace, Hartenstein, and Dort.  So that is 6.  But they have Mitchell, Wiggins, Joe, and Caruso, which 2 you keeping of those 4?  I'd probably keep Mitchell and Caruso, but it isn't an easy choice.

Or how about the Spurs - obviously you keep Wemby, Castle, Harper, Fox probably Vassell and Champagnie, after that which 2 you keeping of Barnes, Kornet, Johnson, Sochan, Bryant.  Here I'd keep the young guy Bryant and then probably Johnson, but that is very difficult with Barnes and Kornet.

Mike McDaniels to LA Chargers as Offensive Coordinator, barring a change of heart per Adam Schefter and Jeff Darlington. He's informed other teams that they are out.
Interesting.  I was intrigued by the thought of him coaching Lamar.  I think Lamar would be able to do what McDaniel was hired to do with Tua.  Tua just wasn't good (or healthy) enough to do it.

The Knicks are considering trading Karl-Anthony Towns and have discussed potential deals with the Magic, Hornets, and Grizzlies, per @StevePopper (h/t @RealGM)

If I was the Knicks I would be negotiating with the Nets for Michael Porter Jr.

A deal involving Wizards 2026 1st round pick + Towns & Yabusele for Porter Jr & Mann.

Brunson
Bridges
Anunoby
Porter Jr
Robinson

Hart, Clarkson, Mann, McBride, Hukporti

Interesting idea. It leaves NY short of bigs though. Only M Robinson. I wonder if the deal would work better if we swapped out T Mann for Nic Claxton.

So MPJ + N Claxton for Towns + Yabu. Money is slightly off. They could rejig it somehow. Maybe keep T Mann in the deal and add Josh Hart. That works.

G: Brunson, M McBride
G: Mikal Bridges, J Clarkson
F: Anunoby, T Mann
F: MPJ, (OG)
C: Nic Claxton / M Robinson
