How and why did the "2024 MBB computer projections thread" turn into a completely ridiculous Hawkeye discussion?
Conflating two separate concepts...
Resume (e.g., NET rating, KP rating, W/L by quad, etc.)
Analytics profile (offensive and defensive efficiency)
The current Iowa State team has a similar resume to the 2021 Iowa team (a #2 seed).
That team has a very different analytics profile than the current Iowa State team.
That Iowa team could score but sucked at defense.
This Iowa State team is at least as good on defense as that Iowa team was on offense and is much better on offense compared to where that Iowa team was on defense.
Different strengths and weaknesses, but 2024 Iowa State's weakness (offense) isn't as weak as 2021 Iowa's weakness (defense).
