College Basketball 2011-2012

As garbage as we've been lately, and as much as we got worked by them, there's no logic behind Purdue being ahead of us in a current snapshot. Worse losses and worse wins.

 

I tend to agree, unless Purdue wins @ Illinois Wednesday. Losing 6 of 7 in league play just looks bad. Not that Purdue is much better, they had lost 4 of 5 going into last night.

 

Streaks (hot and cold) are more a sign of schedules than anything else. Purdue should pass Illinois on the S curve(and they will, since Illinois would be out at that point, and probably would never get back) if they beat them this week, but not because of what streak each team is on, but because they beat them twice.

Baylor got whipped twice this week and voters still held them in the Top 10.

To be fair, they haven't lost a game to a team outside the Top 5 all year.

Minnesota should be automatically disqualified from all postseason tournaments for losing to Iowa twice.

 

In perpetuity

I hate you all

Seriously, Texas A&M is pretty weird.

not all that impressed by baylor. isu shot like garbage and baylor's 6'10" guys were like 80% on 18 footers.

yes, the best thing for purdue at this point is to not play.

it's maddening that you can slide under a guy who's in the air and get a charge with regularity in college basketball. Edited February 14, 2012 by snoodmonger

well, second in the big 12 is better than i expected going into the year

I think we'll beat you pretty soundly in Lawrence, but I think we'll lose @OKST. So it could be a tie.

i don't see you losing, but yes, you'll win by 12+ in lawrence. i can't remember the last time we kept it remotely close there.

k-state losing probably makes the night a net gain for iowa state. k-state's rpi now in the 60s. texas losing one of two games in OK this week would be appreciated.

wtf is wrong with those people

Who have they beaten? Mississippi State is their only good win as far as I can see.

SDSU, BYU, MSST are solid wins. WVU and ISU are decent wins.

The SEC wants to know if it's too late to take Texas Tech.

Can they be a throw-in with A&M?

[Old Style]

A&M is definitely a unique place. Not for everybody. I like most of the traditions. Some are dumb. The Corps boys can be a bit over the top, though. Not always the best representatives of the university.

[abuck1220]

i mean, they're called the "corps boys" for crying out loud.

decent name for a gay porn.

I don't know anything about gay porn, so I'll defer to your expertise on the matter.

On the plus side for KSU, with games against Baylor, Mizzou, and ISU still on the schedule, they have a chance to play themselves back into the conversation. On the negative side...nothing about the way they're playing gives you any reason to think they can win those games.

[Magnetic Curses]

ok, i want some, generally speaking, objective opinions on shaka smart or buzz williams to illinois after the year. paying no mind to the small chance that weber is back, what do you think are the odds of either of these coaches leaving their jobs for the illini one?
