Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster

[YeahBuddy]

Did Iowa offer Brock Purdy? You were linking up his offers the other day

Look, I have been pretty clear that 95% of my posts on this site involve Iowa.

The other 5% do not.

 

[YeahBuddy]

Do you follow all of the coaches that offered this kid?

I dont have a Twitter account but could still probably use it better than Hohfer.

The screenshot of the tweet was posted on the HR pay board.

Iowa had a better strength of schedule, an ISU poster actually pointed that out earlier in the thread......

Expectations? Most hawk fans thought it was a year of a bubble birth. Not sure who expected to be in the tourney? Some might have but I did not think it was a sure thing. Most writers did not either. So hawk fans having enthusiasm to see their team get to the tourney is one thing. Actual predictions by unbiased sources said otherwise. That is what we use in this thread is opinion, not fact. Unless we have changed that again today........

I think you are referring to me.

Iowa had a better per 100 net rating -- Iowa was 12.02 points better than the average D1 team over 100 possessions, Iowa State was 10.44 points better.

SOS wise, though? ISU played a better schedule.

The average Iowa opponent was 7.13 points better than a D1 average team on a neutral floor.

The average ISU opponent was 9.49 points better than the D1 average team on a neutral floor.

ISU had the 23rd most difficult schedule nationally.

Iowa was 57th on that listing.

So ISU was worse last year (without adjusting for schedule). After an adjustment for schedule, ISU was still worse than Iowa, but less than it was without adjusting.

No, KF has owned CMC.

Unless you have no ability to be objective, even you should be able to admit that.

Never heard of the guy and you probably never had either until that tweet.

 

[MeowingCows]

No, I don’t. KF owns him on the recruiting trail and on the field.

If only we could be so lucky to have CMC become the HC at Wisconsin.

What ISU does besides 1 game per season does not concern me.

Super Bowl

Super Bowl

Weak.

Beating rivals is the #2 goal for CMC behind only winning a bowl game and ahead of winning the Big 12.

According to the National AP and college coaches ISU was the best team in the state last year. Let me guess you've never heard of the AP or any college coaches outside of Kirk?

Such as?

Apparently to KF, narrowly beating Iowa State was notably more important than blowing out Ohio State. We're flattered, really.

Well your go to for teams outside the AP Top 25 is Sagarin where Iowa was much better. Remember, you named your first born son Sagarin you like the system so much.

I think both staffs put importance on the game.

So do you use the AP poll or Sagarin when talking about Kirk's accomplishments?

Stating otherwise would be idiotic.

I will use your preferred method which is AP for the Top 25 and Sagarin if they are out of the Top 25 in the AP.

My preferred method is AP for those receiving votes and then Sagarin

Why did that change from last year?
