9-9 will any team without a disaster non con in. 8-10 would get quite a few in. With iu, um, osu, and msu every team should have at least 6 losses they can write off

 

Correct.

 

Iowa will likely be 10-3 or 11-2 going into the Big Ten with all losses being against top 100 teams (probably a top 50) and away from home. They have at least 1 win against a top 50-75 team and could get another away from home. 9-9 will get them in, 10-8 would be a lock.

 

It's early and things will change a lot but even with their shitty non-conference schedule their RPI is currently 48.

does iowa have like 11 ugly white guys or is it just the same 3 or 4 I keep seeing?

 

No there are a lot of different ugly white guys. Much like ISU doesn't just have a couple of guys who were hated in their program and caused problems. They have a lot of fake tough guys who love mean mugging the crowd and acting hard but then play really dumb and soft. And they got beat by ugly white guys.

 

What is Fred going to do next year when he only returns 2 real players?

 

What do you mean by 2 "real" players? ISU has Ejim, Gibson and Niang all coming back next year. We're also red-shirting a freshman this year who should contribute next year as well. And Fred has two freshman guards coming in who might start. They'll be young next year but not awful.

 

Okay so they return 3 players who contribute instead of 2. My bad.

Well this is the first KU game I've really been able to watch. Looks like we've got the pieces to be good. MacLemore is pretty sick. 3 pt shooting and PG look like weaknesses.

Describe the Purdue announcer's demeanor to me!

Gotta love blue blood kansas fans trolling a rebuilding Purdue team. Not a whole lot going on in your life I guess.

I'd be happy with an NIT bid at this point. What a terrible offensive team.

At least Purdue fans have their historically dominant woman's team to look forward to.

They might be able to beat the men's team this year.

I love that Keady tree. Now that we aren't in it.

Geez. I was just wondering how stoked your PBP guy was when you cut Eastern Michigan's lead to two with 1:14 left. Don't know why you're being such a dick about it.

Texas vs UCLA: two apathetic fan bases of programs that have crashed and burned.

 

What an ugly game.

Oladipo just embarrassed some poor kid.

Yep. Didn't really look like much. Planted and the knee never bent again.

I thought iowa state might be decent since they hung with cincy and unlv, but they are getting destroyed by iowa, who is TERRIBLE.

 

 

Iowa is not terrible. Not NCAA good, but they're far from terrible.

 

abuck is just doing his thing.

 

Not sure why you'd say they're not NCAA good. They might not be but it's far from a sure thing. They went 8-10 in the Big Ten last year. This year 9-9 has a decent shot at getting them in, 10-8 and they're in. The Big Ten is better but they're better too.

 

If I had to predict Iowa's conference record, I'd say 8-10 again, +/- 1.

 

I think 10-8 would be a best case.

 

Pretty much what I have thought all year. Now that they beat Iowa State I think 10-8 puts them on the bubble though they have to beat Northern Iowa for that Big Ten record to have them dancing for sure.

 

 

I'd pretty much agree. IIRC, I think I had them at 9-9 in conference.

gonzaga shooting 100% on off-balance goofy prayers

Gonzaga is shooting the lights out. It feels like Illinois should be down by 20.

[wekse]

74% from the field so far for gonzaga, unreal.
