Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
Just like ISU went further in the tourney last year?

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
ISU fans will agree with you that those jerseys are an embarrassment.
Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
Did I say that? ISU lost in the first round to UAB. It sucked. I still think ISU goes into the tourney with a better seed and goes further. I mean ISU is a lot more talented and has a much higher ceiling. Iowa has been here before and fell apart down the stretch, I wouldn't get too cocky yet

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
Iowa has 3 losses...ISU/ND/Dayton....what's this Augustana business? Certainly you're not bringing up an exhibition game.....that would be pretty dumb.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
I didn't bring it up. Someone asked where those games were played.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
Nope, but they beat a team that beat Iowa. Gotta be the case, right? Or should we take a look at advanced metrics to decide who's better? Ah, that sounds like a better idea.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
You should never look at KenPom to decide who's better. That's what RPI and polls are for

Well then your question is a pretty stupid one, right pleb? Or do you believe the transitive property applies here?

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
Makes more sense to use KenPom than to use strict head-to-head results or transitive properties.

You should feel embarrassed that you're an adult and cannot tell apart figures of speech from literal meanings.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
Rhetorical question...as in "So I guess UNI is the best team in the state?"

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
This discussion will be moot when Uthoff scores <10 points and Iowa gets dropped by Rutgers tonight.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
That Ken Pom data isn't very good. There is no way MSU should be ranked that high. Wichita St is also ranked too high. What does it say about ISU when they have beat the 2 and 4 team in that ranking.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
Why are you still replying to me? Everyone in this forum is dumber after having read your thoughts. Return tomorrow with a better attitude and maybe, just maybe you won't embarrass yourself.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
Debatable I guess. I already admitted Iowa has a better resume than ISU right now but I'm sure even you have to wonder how Uthoff could have the best game of his career and still lose to a team that Iowa is "better" than

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
I'm still trying to figure out why you asked that in response to a question about UNI being the best team in Iowa.
Lets say they did play, either:
A) UNI wins, they are obviously the best team in the state based on your "ranking system where teams play eachother" idea.
or
B) Iowa wins, your "ranking system where teams play eachother" idea is shot, as it would be a circular argument, and we would probably be left with looking at other metrics, such as RPI (where the good guys are higher anyway).

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
This dude's eye-test is better than Pomeroy's metrics. We need to get you a job on ESPN.
ISU is loaded with talent, what do you want me to say?
