Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
Maybe the committee throws a curveball and lets Nebraska in but every projection I've seen has them out. Bracketmatrix doesn't even have them in the first four out but in the next four out. I think they would be in at 14-4 but would need two wins in the B10 tournament to get in at 13-5.
Just makes you wonder how much we would beat up on the teams in your weak conference is all
This sounds just like every football season for ISU. But but but if we were in the B1G.
Nebby plays 1 game each against the top 4 teams (other than Nebby)...1 win against Michigan, the #5 team in the BIG. They play two games each against the bottom feeders (4 of the 5 bottom teams). They likely will get a double bye in the BIG tourney...then play the #5, likely Michigan. What happens when they lose that...
Well, it is pretty tough having to play every school in the conference in each sport (and twice for basketball).
Having the odd-ball years of getting to avoid OU, WVU, OSU, TCU, etc. would be nice.
I really didnt expect you to be an excuse maker like @CyTwins and a huge portion of the ISU fan base.
This is disappointing.
Does it make it less true. I'm sure if you guys were in the MVC you would be close to .500 in conference play. It's just facts
It is fact that ISU plays every conference team, not excuse.
Its an excuse.
Look pal, there is one instate program alone in last place in their conference and it isnt the squad from Iowa City.
Look pal, there is one instate program that plays in a conference with 4 schools with under .500 record, and it isn't the squad from Ames.
Just because the Big Ten is full of horrible basketball teams doesn't make Iowa better than Iowa State.
B1G <> Big 12 in talent. Period.
How many ranked teams has Iowa played this year? Now play as many ranked teams as ISU has, and play them all twice a season.
We don't get to play Rutgers twice or Minnesota twice. We get to play top 15 teams multiple times a year. A little bit different.
There it is again....but but but if ISU was in the B1G.
I really thought you were better than this.
Now now.
I don't think I made any claim that ISU would have a better record if they were in the Big Ten.
But with that being said, it's kinda funny how the Sagarin/Kenpom/RPI is nice to use except for when it roasts your argument.
The post above is implying that the Big Ten is, well, not good?
What happened to regional power house? Or team that had too much talents? Or the team was going to be no worse than 29-5 according to DanL53 aka Yeabuddy?
