***Official 2026 NCAA Tournament Thread***

Doubt that….Creighton has a huge following for women’s & mens Bball both! Wealthy school & alumni as well.
I dunno. They were down this year. As was Marquette who is traditionally good. Nebraska isn't as populated as Iowa to support 2 big time programs. Fred has at a minimum forced their hands
 
Maybe high point or Arkansas should think about help out defense? Just layup after layup

Acuff has been guarding that short little guard the 2nd half and he just keeps blowing by him for lay ups. Surely with all the 5 star freaking athletes they have they can find someone to guard him.
 
It’s all about the story. He was born there and lived there shortly, so I guess that’s maybe why they feel the can say that
I know. I get it. He was the Mayor here because Ames was his hometown and college town, and now that's just not even relevant.
 
Something about Arkansas I really can’t stand
For me it's that especially them, but realistically all SEC programs have double or more what schools like Iowa State have to dole out in NIL dollars yet they seem to underachieve all regular season long until things start to click better in March after all their mercenaries finally have adequate chemistry together

I think he got some write in votes for mayor as well. Just imagine the story if he ever matched against ISU in the tournament…what a media crap show that would be
 
Honestly tho. He just lurks in all chats trying to bring up EIU.

100% inaccurate, the Big 10 gets brought up incessantly in here. It’s pretty crazy really. Hell I’ve spent most of my time talking about how awesome TJ is and The ISU women need to play better D. That’s why I’ve been here. You are one of the cats who thought I’d be upset about the Iowa/UCLA game. And you clearly have an Iowa /Big 10 thing.

I mean honestly, it doesn’t have to be difficult. I remember you from a few weeks back. I haven’t said anything inaccurate or even polarizing. Some Iowa fans can’t stand anything ISU related and vice versa. That’s not me….I can & do like both programs and conferences as far as that goes.

The BIG just happened to have a hell of a year so far, for both men’s & womens. So has the SEC and I don’t like them. But the truth, is still The Truth.

In the men’s, The Big 12 has been awesome for years, that’s also true. I’m not that angry about other teams or leagues at this stage. I find it foolish
