I dont know how anyone could make that determination based off the competition since then. DePaul and Iowa are the 76th and 80th ranked defenses out of 80 Power 6 teams.

The fact is we lost both games against the only 2 good teams we've played all season, and barely squeaked by an A-10 team with a new coach.
A 19 point win is barely squeaking by?

I love how ISU found a loop hole in the analytical rankings and is exploiting it and most of our fans are mad about it lol, its just classic. My God, just enjoy the season, maybe we will struggle in the big 12, maybe we won't but their is an infinite amount of opportunities in conference play that our non con schedule is perfectly fine and being ranked in the top 5 in the NET is absolutely incredible even if it's inflated. Goal is always 9 wins in conference= 5-7 seed, anything above that is gravy, pretty simple.

They're also apparently broke due to paying a bunch of coaches not to coach across multiple sports.

Wow.

Didn't they have to buy Brohm out at Purdue?

They should thank Cincinnati for being stupid enough to take Satterfield off their hands...

It's going to be tough sledding no matter what, but have guys like C. Jones and Milan been playing the same way they did in Orlando?
If this CJ played in the A&M game we would have won. Since the A&M game he has shot 67% from three. We would have an additional 12 points on his 9 three pt shots that game.

Apparently TJ knows I guess? Per the post above this?
You don’t need to know what all goes into the NET to know that margin matters, and there seems to be no to limited diminishing returns in those margins of victory.

To what extent it’s unclear, but rolling out your non-rotation guys for 12 minutes to turn a 30 pt win into a 12 point win has a negative impact.

We can not like that, but it is the system.

Even when CJ was shooting poorly from 3, he was very good handling the press and moving the ball offensively. Plus he was lighting it up over the summer, so TJ stuck with him. Gave some of those minutes to Pavs, which has been a win-win.

Weird, between Rob Jones, Gabe K and now Curtis Jones, it’s almost like TJ is always right with his personnel decisions. Hopefully people remember this when they want to start another Omaha thread.

The OP of the next Omaha B. Thread should get a couple of days of vacation.

Anyone else notice that Omaha changed his hometown from Waukee to Denison? I didn't notice until he was on the gameday program but looking thru old ones it happened much earlier

Joe Lunardi (ESPN) latest bracket projection has ISU as the #9 seed in the West (Arizona is the #1), playing #8 Providence.
