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

[NATEizKING]

I mostly agree with you but Shaka Smart has a lot to prove.

Bringing in the best class in the Big 12, #7 nationally could help.

A month ago, you thought ISU going 10-8 was optimistic and they won 12 games. Do I need to keep reminding you? This is funny coming from you.

A month ago half your board thought the same thing.

19 ppg 46% fg
19 ppg 45% fg
17 ppg 42% fg
16 ppg 42% fg
10 ppg 36% fg

Which one is not like the others?

Want the rest?

16 ppg 40% fg
16 ppg 39% fg
13 ppg 40% fg
13 ppg 38% fg
13 ppg 44% fg

I think we can all agree Bohannon's numbers are the worst, and the closest to his, is the 13 at 38%. Well for reference, that guy went on to average 9 ppg 4.5 ast 38% fg 35% from 3. Yes, his freshmen season was his best.

I think most people thought we'd be 9-9 or 10-8 after we beat KU. Even with our crappy non-con most people picked 8-10 to 10-8 before conference started. Exceeding expectations is fun, Iowa has to win 2 or 3 more to do that, maybe you'll get to enjoy the ride like we have.

Here's my new thread for your viewing pleasure:

They were dumb. I said 10-8 minimum the whole time

You and everyone else also said 22 wins was the floor for this team as well.

Say what?

I did not vote in that poll and have said 10-8 since conference play began. I shouldn't have been so down on our team. I did say 12-6 was our ceiling, so that makes me look good.

Just searched for it and couldnt find it but there was a poll posted before the season started and everyone who voted in the poll picked at least 22 regular season wins.

I posted it somewhere in this thread once. Tired of looking right now.

These poll numbers beg to differ

Ah yes the "What I found was going to contradict my bold statement so I am going to pretend I can't find it" strategy.

Bold

Remember kids... 80 Votes is "everybody"

But @NetflixAndClone said its sad that the better seed isnt favored.

Normally a 4 vs 5 seed match is 50/50. Like in the dance the 8/9 matchup is a toss up.

Iowa is the 7 seed. Meaning they are 3 spots better than the tenth team, but you still find Iowa as the underdog.

That must be a different pool, @YeahBuddy said the one he was talking about said everyone picked at least 22 wins. I see people that picked 20 and 21 and most of them were probably like me and didn't realize we got one less game than everyone else which I would have switched mine to 21

You are right, about 10% of the board picked 20 or 21.

The other 90% were expecting at least 22.

There was almost twice as many people predicting 25 or more than there were predicting 20 or 21. Wowza.

I didn't remember the numbers correctly from the poll. See above post where I said you were right.
