Disagree on destroying nebby...their 3 pointers and swinging far side is byu style
They talk about our schedule, but nobody seems to care that UCONN has 9 quad 4 wins, the same as us.
They were bad yesterday but are 29th in D on Kenpom on the season so they're not bad overall.
In a series give me ISU but in a one game situation in Omaha no thanks along with all of the 'see what could have been!?' takes from a few if Nebraska were to pull it off.
Purdue is overrate. Detroit is closer for fans etc. but I understand others opinions.
BYU plays defense. Tominaga is a fun player, but Lipsey would absolutely abuse him on both ends of the floor.
Watched the game yesterday and their offensive ball movement and spacing could give anyone troubles. I don’t think they’re awesome and their defense left a lot to the imagination.
Here is a link to Iowa’s selection Sunday thread for those interested
That's what Indiana State did. Just sub in Missouri Valley for Big 10. Oklahoma at least beat Iowa State and BYU. Indiana State beat Drake.
A number 2 seed leaves the team with a chip on thier shoulder for being slighted for not being a 1 seed. Never thought I would be able to a 2 seed is a slight in my lifetime.
I don't think this would be talked about if our noncon schedule would have been flip flopped with UNC. Really the only thing the national media's got favoring a blue blood. They'll make a bs decision on this metric and we'll have to accept it as a rational argument which it's not.
I'm looking forward to the yearly tradition of Seth Davis picking us to lose earlier than we should.
The group of three conferences should get a penalty going forward for weak conference schedules if power 2 basketball gets knocked for non conf.
Kansas was available, UConn was available, Arizona was available, Houston was available. Big Ten and SEC said they were fine with an inferior basketball product…if we’re penalized for non conference t hey should all be penalized for their conference having no depth and a total joke bottom half.
I actually hear ISU fans on this site say this “Big Ten and SEC teams can’t control their weak conference schedules, we can control our non conf”. They control EVERYBODY’s conference schedules completely and they chose to make the Big 12 the best basketball conference by light years and leave their own conferences as “meh” because of football. This is all crystal clear and our league/programs/fans need to win war of language on it.

So they beat 2 tournament teams all season? That's a classic NIT resume.
At least Indiana State won 8 more games and is rated higher now on Torvick. It's just the age old question of whether you prefer mid-major teams that won alot of games, or middling teams in Power conferences.
You know, I like FAU; they were an amazing story last season and were a legit damn good team. Dusty May is a great coach and seems like a great dude, and I love that they were able to keep their whole roster together for this season, especially in the age of the portal and NIL.
But objectively I really don't know how safe they should be. They do have some great non-con wins versus Arizona and a thorough a$$-kicking of Tx. A&M, but they have also lost some real head scratchers and it seems like they have routinely played down to their level of competition. They had absolutely no business losing to an under .500 Temple team yesterday. None. Zip. Zilch. Zero.
I hope they make it, as they probably did just enough, but I won't feel too bad for them if they get sent to Dayton.
