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

[SportsFan10]

Bump for @YeahBuddy @SportsFan10 and @HawkeyeMashup

I don't know. I didn't recruit and create the roster. Go ask Fran.

Worse than Prohm?

I have no issues admitting I posted that. Thats how I felt back then when Drake was taking us down to the wire and we hadnt beaten a good team in a whole calendar year.

I'll give him props for rallying the team together and giving Solomon a chance. Im not sure we wouldnt be on the bubble right now had he not played him.

 

[SportsFan10]

Well, I'm sorry that you like to torture yourself. I'm not sure what your reply has to do with my argument at all, but you do you.

I wasn't torturing myself at all. Sorry my interests don't match up exactly with yours?

 

[NoCreativity]

I know a lot more goes into what makes which conference better. I was just stating that it was interesting.

It also doesn't help the Big 12 that they have two teams almost on Rutgers level according to the RPI. That means the other eight Big 12 teams get at least four games against pretty much a Rutgers level team.

Except I think everyone on here would agree Texas and Oklahoma would smoke Rutgers.

Iowa fans, where can I get a "Bringing the Boom" shirt for the win over Maryland?

Thx in advance.

It seems like I have heard this in past years and it never comes to fruition.

The top 4 in the Big 12 all have a shot to make the Finial 4. Depends on match-ups. The ACC has a lot of good teams too so nothing is guaranteed, but teams from those 2 conferences is who I will be betting on. Nova' of course is another team to watch.

Isn't time to close this god awful thread?

Oh, I don't know....some of this stuff is pretty entertaining!!!

I don't have access to Fran, I just keep hearing how young Iowa is this year but the only lost 4 seniors so I'm confused

I think it is to an extent. But, those wins count too, you can't just take away two wins they have and cherry pick that out. If you're gonna do that, you have to do that for every team.

What do you mean Cherry Pick? Those are Indiana's 2 best wins, and the main reason they are under 100 in the RPI. The wins count, that is why they came into Big 10 play so highly rated in the RPI. I guess, I don't understand your point about the 2 wins.

Who knows. But, from what I've seen all three teams are garbage.

Oh yeah, after we just lost to West Virginia at home. I still stand by what I said then, 28 other posters on that exact thread felt the same way after that dumpster fire of a game.

Well, you could also say, their RPI was so high, then they started playing in the Big Ten and losing which makes the Big Ten look good, because every team in the Big Ten is beating the team who beat KU and UNC. It could go both ways, I lean towards your side though.

I'm surprised there weren't more morons like you that overreact over one game

Hey, Ill be a man and admit I overreact. Also, that wasnt a comment from just one game, it was a culmination of frustration over a number of games.

Pretty sure I already did this for you when you asked a few weeks ago, most likely in this very thread.

Feel free to go back and look for it.

That was the point I was making haha. The reason Indiana, even though they are 93 in the RPI, has not hurt the B1G is because they came in so high and all of those teams beat them, bumping the other teams RPI, while Indiana's was dropping.

They also lost two to transfer.

I drink a lot so I have a bad memory. I mean I know you guys start 3 freshman but I just don't understand how that all works out

Because they sucked
