Seemingly never ending Iowa MBB thread (still going.....)

[CyTwins]

Big 10 has a better RPI. Dont overthink this, the SEC sucks badly at basketball, always has, always will.

Does KenPom and BPI have it higher? I think it's a toss up honestly

SEC is a joke man, dont turn into CyTwins and post a small sample size to try to prove a ridiculous point. The SEC is horrible at basketball, everyone knows its by far the worst Power 5 conference every year.

Exactly why I posted it. Same thing as CyTwins shtick.

What shtick?

I see what you did there.

Maryland is tied for second in the Big Ten standings and aren't a top 30 team in KenPom. That's how bad the Big Ten is

Big 10 is horrible this year. I agree 100%. Worst it has been in a long time and maybe ever.

Fran picked a really bad time to rebuild. I thought by doing things the right way he wouldn't rebuild and he would just reload though? That's why his strategy was smarter than Fred's for the long term

You're new here so I'll let this one slide but without getting into too many details, yes this is my forum

No ****? Good for you man, that's impressive!

 

[SportsFan10]

Do you think Iowa will have an "average" backcourt next year?

Yes, very average.

 

[CyTwins]

Yes, very average.

You honestly don't know what average means. They will have a bad backcourt next year

 

[SportsFan10]

I do know what average means. You asked the question, I gave you my answer. Sorry if you don't agree with it.

Well nobody agrees with it actually. That's like saying the sky is purple

There are people who agree with it.

 

[rholtgraves]

So it looks like Young might be better than Iowa's one and done player. That must hurt.

 

[CyTwins]

Who? You are average at best (that's being generous) right now and you're losing by far your best player and replacing him with nobody of significance. You're really putting all your eggs in the "our current players are drastically going to improve" basket right now

Didn't you hear?? No real Iowa fans thought Cook would be a one and done...

Is the SEC worse than the Big Ten this year? Probably not

Nobody is worse than the Big Ten this year.

Fran will be rebuilding for the next 5 years and they still won't get anywhere.

I'm sure the tiny guards with no athleticism are suddenly going to become studs. I'm sure Cook will suddenly grow a basketball IQ, lol.

Anybody who was expecting NCAA tourney this year for Iowa is an idiot.

How is your team performing to preseason expectations?

I still think we'll hit my 10-8 in conference.

How do you get to 10?

Don't think it makes a lot of sense on predicting game by game, 9-9 is pretty likely as well.

I think:

OSU, OU, TCU at home. Hope for UT on the road, and one of Baylor home, KSU road, or TTU road.

@YeahBuddy, am I still optimistic?
