    So how good is the Big 12 in Basketball this year?

    Here is, from what I can determine, some factors the selection committee considers (including but not limited to): NET and other computer rankings Injured players Performance in road and neutral-court games Conference strength of schedule Non-con strength of schedule Record against other...

    I fear that my dream line-up of Tamin/Keshon/Curtis/Milan/Omaha is too small.

    Purdue seems to get pretty large crowds at away games.

    This is a boring game (PUR@UMICH), one boring team and one bad team. What is Michigan's issue this year? Not enough talent, poor execution/coaching, both?

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    If we restrict the timeframe to Fran's Iowa career, I actually think I agree this is about as good as the Big 10 has ever been. One great team, two fringe Top 25 teams, and a bunch of mids/bads.

    I'm trying to cheer for the Johnnies today since Creighton losing is good for ISU (although I guess they can't be seeded in Omaha anyway), but cheering for a Pitino team is pretty tough.

    Maryland I think is an example of how metrics can be misleading. I watch quite a few of their games (am a UMD employee). They are #161 Adjusted Offense and #6 Adjusted Defense on kenpom. Maybe it's just my eyeball test that's off but those #s should be reversed. They have three...

    The Big East has three teams that are tourney locks, maybe two more on the bubble. Why is there a narrative that this is the best conference again?

    I hope we can get Pav to stick around next year. Minutes will be hard to come by in our guard-heavy lineup and he could definitely get a modest bag and starter-minutes from someone.

    2023-2024 MBB computer projections thread

    Basically you are asking (for example), do we really have a 66.3% change of winning @ KSU? No one can answer that. If we accept those percentages as correct, then it is correct that mathematically our odds of winning all four games are 23%, by the statistical definition of the term "odds".

    You just multiply the %s together. Like if you flip a coin four times. The odds of each flip being heads are 50% but the odds of every flip being heads are 0.5*0.5*0.5*0.5 = 6.25%

    2023-24 ISU WBB Season Thread

    Assuming we can beat a bad Cincinnati team at home on Saturday, I think we're a lock at 17-11 (11-7) even if we don't win any games in the conference tourney. We'd really be 18-11, we were not going to lose at home to a reeling TCU team.

    2023-2024 MBB computer projections thread

    It is weird to me that the same system that projects us as the #8 team in the country also simultaneously projects us as a #3 seed. Maybe the system is building in the "you are not a national brand so the committee's going to f*** you" factor.
