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

Lol, is that it? So Tech should be left out over teams like Fresno State? Ok, the conference was the #2 ranked RPI league this year so thats kind of a lame excuse.

Another reason why the RPI is a garbage metric. The Big Twelve ha been overrated all season long, and the Selection committee confirmed that yesterday. 4th best league in the country sounds about right, behind the ACC, Big Ten, and Big East, all of whom got more bids than the Big 12.

You got your ticket for the first game of another potential national title run?
 
You can't make this up:

Iowa fans think they'd be better without their (by far) best player. Yes. Their First Team All Big-Ten player and one of the best pure shooters in college basketball. They think they would do better without him.

Derp.

They've been stating that since the B1G tournament.

They also treated Roy Deyvn Marble this way on his senior year.

You realize the Big 10 actually has 14 teams, and the Big 12 has 10 teams ???

FIFY

I'm guessing you're a fan of buffets because you like quantity over quality. Easy break down of how your statement is stupid.

ACC = 71% of teams made the tournament, average seed 4.9

This is a $100 a person buffet, the food is good, the crowd is good, plus you get all you can eat lobster tails.

Big 12 = 60% of teams made the tournament, average seed 5.6

This is a steak house, fewer options on the menu but the options are all good, bonus points, this is classy enough to where they dont have to have a sign reminding guests that shirt and shoes are required.

Big East = 70% of teams made the tournament, average seed 7.4

This is Appleby's... sure there are fewer options and the cheaper they get the worst they end up being... but hey Karaoke!

Big Ten = 50% of teams made tournament, average seed 6.7

This is the buffet at an Iowa casino. Sure, it's convenient and the food is decent, but then you look around and take note of the number of white trash hill billies around you with food falling out of their mouths as they eat.
 
I think the "First 4 out" thing is more of a Joe Lunardi thing than an official NCAA thing.
It's an official thing. The first 4 out are given 1 seeds in the NIT. Just a perk given to the prettiest ugly girls who didn't get an invite to prom.

Yeah, NCAA took over the Nobody Interested Tournament and run their experiments with it. I think this may cause Franny to short circuit. Have one of their odd rules trip and he will grab a table and go all WWE on an official.
 
I don't blame you. Hopefully the basketball season lasts a few more weeks, cuz November is a long ways away.

And this thread has barely been about basketball for hundreds of pages now

Hundreds of pages were about how a player you had named Gazelle was as good as Monte Morris.
 
I admire Split's efforts here. It isn't like he has a lot of cards to play. Hopefully there is no Celine Dion compilation from CHA in the near future.

Keep up the good fight!

Well, he's all alone now.
