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

Conferences establish their strengths in the non conference. There's no other way to determine it once January begins and there are no more non conference games.

I mean I don't get why this is so hard for him to understand

The SEC got a #2, and 4 seed even tho the conference sucked. The Pac12 got a #2 and 2 3 seeds even tho they sucked.

Teams earn their seeding. Wisconsin beat Minnesota, and finished higher in the conference and were seeded 3 spots lower than Minnesota. Indiana was on the bubble way late because they beat Kansas and UNC. Vandy made it in from a weak ass conference with 15 losses.

You guys don't get it, teams earn their spots, not the conference. The committee has said and shown as much time and time again.

How does how the Big 12 do in the NCAA Tournament effect Iowa State?

I'm surprised how many hawk fans are on here despite them missing the tournament again from one of the worst P6 conferences. It's sad.

That's what you've been arguing the whole time

What? Do you even read My posts? I've been saying ISU earns their bids, not the Big12 conference. I said I don't root for certain BigTen teams in the NCAA so I get why you don't. I just said that the Big12 has been bad in the NCAA the last 5 years so that is a perception thing.

Not sure where you are getting that I think ISU gets anything out of a OU for instance going to the final 4. Never said it and don't think it.

So if Kansas goes .500 in the non conference ISU is still a 5 seed?
 
You're bad at trolling

That is because I don't troll and that is foreign to you. I say what I think, and I think teams earn their seeding, not the conference they come from. If you could get out of your own way and stop trolling for one minute you could see I am complimenting ISU and saying is is the players work and Hoibergs, and Prohms good coaching that is getting ISU these good NCAA seeds. It is not the work of the Big12 that gets ISU a #3,4 or 5 seed, as many crappy conferences still have high seeds.

Either way I'm done with you on this topic as you are clearly just trying to troll me on it. I think ISU earns these seeds and That is just my opinion.

Name a team from a crappy conference that got a 4 seed with 11 losses. I'll hang up and listen

Great for Iowa and we havent even played yet. The 2 and 3 seed in the Iowa bracket lost last night.

Win our first 2 and we get to play a 6 or a 7 for a trip to MSG.

Didn't know that, I saw Clemson lost to the fighting JV Cyclones so they must be in your bracket? You guys are going to roll tonight. I'm cheer the 11,000 faithful at Carver will have it rocking!
