The Fran fade

[NorthEnder]

Just did what was long past due. Who has the poll on the new username and when it hits?

The post that 29 reported was deleted so you should be happy. What is the problem at this point?

The Fran fade is in full swing

All the way down to #4 in KenPom and #9 in NET.

What's your go to basketball metric?

If it is in full swing now, why would I need to give it a couple weeks?

NCAA seed when they release them.

Up until that point, I probably lean KenPom.

Careful, I got ridiculed for using Bart Torvik the other day.

KenPom is a predictive tool. I think AP or NET is the best. I like KenPom but it isn't meant to "rank" teams as Pomeroy has even said

 

[BCClone]

So, probably a four seed with a first round loss?

I won't argue with any of that.

Did Fran do another moping press conference?

Even bigger question would be did the officials fire up three air balls on the last possession?

I think Fran and his wife are fiery people and get carried away at times that result in them looking like lunatics. Either way, that doesn't make them bad parents.

Now, setting a terrible example and making them feel so entitled that they agree with you that the Refs are Mother ******* cheaters, thats bad parenting. Allowing your kids to live off the government and use help intended for the poor. stealing from the state, all while being the state's highest paid employee, now that is bad parenting.

Just like football, Iowa benefits by losing to good teams....

I'm not a parent, so I don't want to say something that's not correct, so I'll defer to those who have children and know better than I do on these sorts of things!

I'm not sure how much weight the committee will even be able to put into NET this year due to the imbalance of games played and lost OOC opportunities.

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

Ugh Oh. I'm hearing rumors that Punxsutawney Fran saw his shadow so we all know what that means.

6 more weeks of disappointing basketball it is!

Two things can be true.

1. Iowa is head over heals better than Iowa State and we absolutely suck right now and we sucked last year.
2. Iowa hasn't beaten a legit good team this year.

What is a legit good team in your mind?
