Oregon vs Creighton would be fun.

South Carolina getting run

Us vs Illinois would be a really interesting game. I think our intensity would be a big problem for them.

Are we already writing off the Dukes?

 

[ClubCy]

I’m getting classic Hoiball/early Prohm vibes from Illinois. Can score at will, defense optional, can out talent lesser teams, and constantly plays from behind until the switch flips (I believe they had double digit deficits in all conference tourney games). They’ll beat two lower seeds to get the S16 similar to us in 2016. Then we ran into Virginia (similar to us this year) in Chicago.

No, that just wouldn’t be as interesting of a matchup to me.

To your Iowa boards.

Why do you think I am a f***** Iowa fan? Look at my posts from the past. I graduated from ISU in 1991 with a BBA degree. I went pharmacy school at Iowa but not a hawk fan, more anti hawk fan.

Could very well be. We are not just quick defensively, but pester and frustrate.

This thread or the Illinois game?

i mean...Iowa hung with them both games and they have no defense. I think they are good team (Illinois) and great offense. But they are 3-5 against top 25 defenses and the wins are Rutgers twice and MSU. Not exactly great teams.

Marquette (Loss)
Rutgers (Win x2)
Tennessee (Loss)
Purdue (Loss x2)
Michigan State (Win/Loss 1-1)

Iowa fans are ******* losers.

i can't tell if he's serious or not

I am serious. Iowa is not a good team but they are not terribl. They are about at the same level as Cincinnati, UCF, and KSU.

 

[SolterraCyclone]

Everyone worried about the Big 12, SEC is struggling just as much. They're 1-2 so far (including NCAA and NIT) with a blowout loss, and is staring down the barrel of 1-3 with South Carolina struggling right now

South Carolina getting run

I had Oregon in all my brackets. Never got South Carolina's love and think they were overseeded.

Gunner’s Law: you don’t make the tourney then you’re terrible.

My Duquense/Oregon/Nevada picks looking good so far. Stupidly had Miss State though. Has Izzo ever lost first round?

Middle Tenn State

I was really impressed with Oregon during PAC 12 tournament. It seems they are high ceiling and low floor type of team.

Also UCLA but that was a very weird game

Swap Michigan St. for Duquesne and likewise.
