Seemingly never ending Iowa MBB thread (still going.....)

[Rabbuk]

Damn you Iowa hurting our resume.... that may be our lone loss of the season to a team not playing in NCAA tournament.

Lets pump the brakes. We haven't done our resume any favors.

 

[CloneinWDSM]

Just saw the final...LOL!

Don't worry according to Iowa, Isaiah Moss is going to step right into Joks role next year. (2 points each in last two games)

 

[madguy30]

They'll be 15-4. Better than anybody ISU has played for sure

TCU, Gonzaga, Cinci, and Baylor don't like this sentence.

A great time for Iowa fans to have Iowa go on the road and prove how legit their win over ISU was...not.

 

[ExCyment]

At least the title of this thread is accurate now.

 

[CyTwins]

There is also a thing called the eye test. Do you watch other games also or do you just study KenPom stats?

If you were to watch both teams what gives you any indication we are so much better than Iowa right now? Yeah, I get it we played close against 3 good teams, but we didnt win any of them. Our best win was against Texas Tech which just lost to the worst team in the conference.

Now, if in a couple weeks we have wins over Kansas and West Virginia at home, and another road win at maybe Oklahoma or Vandy then Ill agree with you, but as of today we have done nothing to suggest we are so much greater than Iowa is right now.

What'd the eye test tell you tonight?

Well northwestern is about 49 points better than ISU, so...

Fran McCaffery's post game presser lasted less than three minutes. Four questions got one-word answers. #Hawkeyes

It doesn't say ISU is "a lot better than Iowa". Marginally better would be a more accurate statement. I'd rather wait till March to pass judgement on either team.

63 spots in KenPom is a lot better than Iowa right now. Agreed?

How many points would Iowa have won by if they were ranked higher in kenpom?

I don't know I don't use KenPom much and don't agree with the ranking system portion of it. I'm just speaking Hawkeye language when I mention it

Possibly...Iowa needs to play ISU again to officially make it a win.

If I did the math right (likely didn't), going by the Omaha, ISU, and Iowa basketball love triangle, Iowa's still at -21.

I hope that tool responds.

I haven't used it since last year, so you're not speaking my language

Good chance they'll meet up in the NIT. If it's in NYC, and Carver counts as 1 point in Vegas, I'd assume it will be a double digit Iowa win again.

Gonna need to be 22 points according to my new scale for justifying meaningfulness of instate rivalry games.

Transitive property doesn't work that way guy

 

[CyTwins]

Every Big 12 school is ranked ahead of Iowa on KenPom

It does now.

Not if it flips next year.

Just now.
