It's amazing how much ToE fans hate Nebraska... when they sound more and more like Nebraska fans every day.
Graham Couch: Iowa Basketball is a mid-major roster

I mean did an Iowa fan really ask if Niang could dunk when he dunked in Carver? That's pretty dumb
This probably won't resonate with you as you are too dense to understand the difference between a prediction and a call for a 'lock' but we will give a try anyway:
I predict, no, it is a lock that not one ISU fan will take your comments here as objective or would classify as being part of a good dialogue - so save the apology for your ilk over at HN.
According to the BPI formula, the big 12 gets a nod as the best conference because they only have 10 teams but they have the least likely hood of winning a national title. They also say it is because their are no bottom feeders because of this. So the 10 team conference is benefit to overall rank, not a terrible team makes it easier to be the best, and this also limits them when it comes to winning a national title. So I am left to wonder how is this benefitting the teams in the big 12 if there is a lesser chance of winning a championship?
I just remember him being so good and crafty underneath and a threat to shoot. He was a really really good player.
Was he a better dunker than Woody? I seriously do not remember that part of his game.
BPI is an awful tool so I don't think you will hear any arguments there
How do they define "lesser chance of winning"? Obviously having less teams overall produces less opportunities for a team to rise up and win a Natty, that's useless information. It'd be nice if they elaborated more on their exact point with that.
As for the balance part, not having a bad team is exactly what it is -- not having a bad team. That's a good thing for the conference in basically any way you look at it (and this is a recent change, too -- we've had our bottom-feeders before). But, the above point still remains: they're making these statements without some form or example of supplementary data to explain it.
Ah, you disagree that having more good teams top to bottom makes a conference good, so the metrics must be flawed. At least you won the bet.
He was. I remember the first time I watched him play when ISU lost at CHA his freshman season and really wishing Iowa would have gotten him.
