7 teams in top 28

Btw @FriendlySpartan if your boys make it past Davidson I am liking that matchup with Duke for you. I know your guys have been up and down and hard to figure out but Duke has not impressed me for the last month. Would not shock me to see that go down to the wire and the Spartans pull it out.

Honestly I’m more scared of Davison then Duke. One of our guys who was a major letdown at state (didn’t grow enough) is playing for Davison and averaging almost 17 a game.

It would be awesome to get through Duke but with tech as the 3 seed our journey ends there. First time in awhile that I don’t see a real path for us to make a run.

First, almost no one on here disputes that the SEC rules. The big difference is the SEC gets that benefit of the doubt with minimal games against good teams in non con, which in general is the case with so few football games.

The difference is in CBB is there are a **** load of non con data points. And the difference in the SEC-Big 12 challenge was one game. And with all those data points the Big 12 was pretty clearly the best conference, the SEC was next, then a big drop off to the Big 10 and Big East.

It’s the same nonsense the media has pulled in Big 10 football. Range from mediocre to completely sucking balls in the non con, then magically a disproportionate number of teams in the conference “really improved” during conference play.

No one is taking one or two games and making this point. There are thousands of data points. That’s the great thing about CBB. There are so many data points across conferences we don’t need to use anecdotal evidence. Dayton and Kentucky over KU are two data points that were overwhelmed by the MANY others that show the Big 12 was the best conference.

100% agree the big 12 is the best conference, you guys scored 2 one seeds and one of the best 3 seeds.

This is such a fallacy. Athletes aged 18-22, when they get consistently a good night's sleep (which is monitored) and great nutrition, plus in-season conditioning...no they don't get "worn down."

Matt Campbell disagrees but what does he know.

It's sad how little playing good teams mattered. I think metrics trump everything. It's weird that people making these decisions don't understand that teams who only play good teams, that are highly rated defensively, with great coaches will look less efficient than teams who get 8-10 conference games against bottom feeders.

The best thing to happen to big 10 basketball is that teams like Nebraska, Maryland, Northwestern, Penn St and Minnesota were awful. The 9 teams that made the tourney had like 40 wins against these kinds of teams. They each got 6-10 games against mid majorish type of teams.

And now you see how SEC football will work. It just takes a little press home cooking to make it work

Michigan St has looked like garbage for the last month plus. Doubt they even get a win. Very free teams in the whole tournament I would pick them over.
