Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
ESPN RPI is not always within a spot or two of the correct RPI, a lot of times it's way off.
I'm not splitting hairs or arguing by telling you it's not accurate. Chill out

LOL. Of course you are splitting hairs, that is your whole schtick.

Cool bro, I'm excited to hear all about the Massey ratings leading up to and during Selection Sunday from the national media and the tournament committee.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
They didn't since they stayed at #4 in the AP and went from 5th to 6th in the coaches. Also I'm not defending them for that game it was brutal, but at the same time you will have those types of games when playing 30 plus games a year.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
I guess time will tell. I'm projecting them at a #3 seed. The team they put on the floor the last 2 games will lose 2-3 more.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
I agree. They need the bench to get back to playing the way they were. If it doesn't, then they are in trouble.

I have a good feeling about Brady turning it around down the stretch

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
Not worried about him. He hasn't done anything all year. Talking about Uhl, Baer and Wagner getting back to form. Mainly Baer and especially Uhl.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
Unless it turns out these last two games are them actually returning to form.
Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
You had to know those two were going to come back down to Earth. Uhl shot 18% from 3 last year, is shooting 60% from the line this year, has an ugly looking shot but is shooting 47% from 3 so far this year? Something doesn't add up

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
Expecting him to continue shooting well above 50% would have been unreasonable. But he's really fallen off a cliff lately, and that's a bit unexpected. He wouldn't be the first guy to make a dramatic improvement in 3-point shooting from freshman to sophomore seasons. I would have figured he might drop back to maybe the 35% range, which would still be useful. But right now he's not hitting anything.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
Kind of hard to use his free throw percentage as a representative of poor shooting when he's only taken 48 attempts all year, the same as his three point attempts. One could argue his 48% 3pt % is just as representative of his abilities as a shooter as is his 60% ft%.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
It doesn't really matter what the shot looks like as long as it is repeatable and the ball goes through the hoop. You know this though, you just didn't really have any other comeback to refute my point.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed
When you shoot 60% from the line it doesn't repeatedly go through the hoop. I'm sure we can revisit this at the end of the season to see if he shot 48% on the year
