    Fundamentally Inept Right Now

    I agree we should play with a bit more pace after forcing turnovers or when breaking pressure, but who is this imaginary bench guy who’s suddenly going to be a scorer? This team is limited offensively; Lou Williams isn’t hiding on the bench.

    2022-2023 MBB computer projections thread

    Hell people just need to look at Alabama last year. Had a bunch of big wins, some bad losses, lost 3 straight and 4 of 6 to finish the season at 19-13 and got a 6-seed.

    Are we even a tournament team?

    I mean, it's not ESPN hype, it's what the committee (which has absolutely nothing to do with ESPN) said just a week ago. We were #11 then. Now obviously we wouldn't be #11 now, but there are 46 major conference champion and at-large spots in the NCAA Tournament. To fall into the 40s or the...

    Fundamentally Inept Right Now

    You can make points for and against things without blatantly lying. Cortes for OU had started one game all year, and his minutes had been dwindling of late.

    Bracket Discussion

    Just finished updating my bracket and the current resumes for each team heading into the weekend. I have Iowa State as a 4-seed and the 15th overall team. If we make the assumption that Iowa State wins the games they're favored in and lose the ones they're underdogs to finish 2-2 (and assuming...

    2022-2023 MBB computer projections thread

    I haven't heard, is the Big 12 going to 20 league games next year or sticking at 18? I'd prefer 20 even when we have 12 teams, but it should definitely be 20 with 14 teams. You're hurting your league by not giving yourself more Q1/Q2 win opportunities. This is a super hypothetical, but imagine...

    Texas game is on the Longhorn Network

    I was able to get a free trial with Sling signing up through my Sony smart tv directly using the app. When I tried to sign up on my computer through browser, no free trial option was available.

    Texas game is on the Longhorn Network

    I feel like this happened last year before the Texas game too where people got fooled by the app showing the game as upcoming, but notice how the women's game has the ESPN+ and Big 12 Now logos, and the men's game doesn't? That's the sign the MBB game won't be available with just an ESPN+...

    *** Official #19 IOWA STATE vs #12 Kansas Sate Game(Day) Thread ***

    Because the other team is also not playing at home...? JFC, some of you are dense. Last year, we only won 6 road/neutral games in the regular season and won 2 in the tourney. This year, we're at 4, but we've undoubtedly been more competitive on the road. Last year, we had 3-4 blowouts in...

    They stated the next 4 teams in contention were Creighton, UConn, St. Mary's, and Miami.

    Some other updates before tomorrow's NCAA update from the top bracketology people out there. Be pretty surprised if ISU is not a 4-seed tomorrow in the early reveal. Lukas Harkins at Heat Check CBB: 4-seed in East region playing Utah Valley. 5-seed Miami, 1-seed Purdue Delphi Bracketology...

    You're right, they likely would do that as long as it didn't make the regions unbalanced from a competitive standpoint, which this would not. The 2019 tournament had 4-seed Virginia Tech lined up with 1-seed Duke in Sweet 16, but that was because Virginia/UNC were also 1-seed and Florida State...

    Bracket Discussion

    Here's my updated bracketology before the NCAA reveals their Top 16 tomorrow. If Iowa State stays on the 4 line AND if Drake gets the Valley autobid, it would probably be the most likely 4/13 matchup for us considering how much the committee values geography during the placement of teams...

    Doug Sirmens is crooked

    I saw Sirmons going to a late show at Jordan Creek at 10:00 on Friday night. Maybe he was tired?

    Bracket Discussion

    Just with how bracketing principles work and trying to place teams as close as possible to their school location, I think it's somewhat likely Iowa is the 6/7/8 in a pod with a Big 12 team. There are just too many Big 12 teams that are lining up to be 2/3/4 seeds that will play in Des Moines or...

    Bracket Discussion

    I posted this last year around this time and figured I'd do so again this year. Background, I've been doing bracketology off and on since 2014. Currently ranked 31st on Bracket Matrix. I've officially got my first bracket projection up for this year. If interested, here's a link to Google...

    Attendance???

    I agree, which is why I wish more students would show up. I also hate what we've done to the student section in the lower deck. We should move them closer to the court and have standing risers put in where the parquet divide is (similar to what they use at Providence).

    Attendance???

    I'm sure some will hate this opinion, but the student section in the upper deck should go away. It's full for 2-3 games a year, and if you made those general public seats, they'd still be full for those 2-3 games and would be much more full for the other ~15 home games.

    *** Official North Carolina A&T vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    You're looking at adjusted numbers, which still have previous seasons of data factored in until around the new year and consider strength of competition (IUPUI is the worst offense in the country). If you look at raw data, we are only allowing 0.59 PPP so far. Can't do better than that. Just...

    ****Official Class Of 2023 Recruiting Thread****

    Grant Basile is from Pewaukee but he went to Virginia Tech. You're thinking of Ben Vander Plas, the Ohio transfer who went to Virginia, who was literally named after Tony Bennett (his dad and Tony were/are good friends) and is from Ripon, WI.
