Damn top 3 teams in acc have 5 combined conference losses.

tells you how horrid the ACC is overall this year, and why I'm not ready to hand Duke anything in this NCAA Tournament, especially when outside of Flagg they're a better than average team, but not a championship team.

and if an ACC team decides to put ISU's name in their mouths about how "strong conference schedule is a detriment", I will be even more pissed than I was last year.

They tried to schedule some good teams but unfortunately for them, Miami and Kansas State are not good.

So they settled for York and St Ambrose? There are 364 D1 teams and they chose to play 2 NAIA teams; doesn’t tell me they tried real hard.

Will Coleman Hawkins get an all-conference honor? 10.6 points per game on 39.8% shooting.

Good question. Made me think, should we factor in NIL when establishing honors? Feels like ISU is the all value team.

"some" does not mean "exclusively".

Back when they were playing something other than terrible ACC teams, they lost to Kentucky and Kansas.

They have wins over two ranked teams (Auburn, Arizona).

This is why Broome should be the player of the year. Flagg put better numbers in conference play than non conference play.

Kon Knueppel is dicing up UNC.

Impressive start

I didn’t say that but they scheduled Kansas State. That’s it.

I mean look no further than South Dakota State… they played at Bama, at Colorado, at Nevada, at Montana and played McNeese on a neutral court.

If you really want to find games you can.

Some real stalwarts there!

Lots of big Drake fans here for some reason. I think they should make it, for the record, but so many people defending them like it’s their team. Who cares that they are an Iowa team. I sure don’t.

This x 1000

 

[MushroomPinball]

North Carolina just settles for jumpers without running an offense. That they've won 13 games in conference should tell you how weak the ACC is.

Lets say its UC Santa Barbara with Drakes record and metrics. I would want them in over Oklahoma all day - Oklahoma doesn't deserve to be in. Give a few little guys a chance, its what makes the tournament fun.

I like seeing the smaller Iowa teams succeed and UNI punking KU in 2010 was fun as hell but don't really have anything on if they should be in or not.

Oklahoma shouldn’t be compared to Drake. I have no clue why they’re being brought up. I don’t think they deserve to be in over Drake. Drake has plenty of other teams they should be being compared to for an at large.

Yeah I mean what has bama done right?

I am sure a big ball knower such as yourself knows those were all tournament teams last year right? McNeese and Montana are betting favorites to go again this year.

Scheduling zero road games outside of Kansas State... **** outta here with that ****.

Hey stupid did you miss the part that I bolded?

You're a ******* moron.

McNeese State: #1 team in the Southland, great team
Drake: #1 team in the MVC, bad team

Get ******.

Listen... I get it... you hang out with people who don't closely follow sports and you are the "smart" one of your group. You were feeling yourself so you stepped up in class.

Its not my fault you made a dumbass comment that "wins have to matter," got called on it and your hand smacked.

Where did I say that McNeese State was great? I simply said that a team went out and scheduled someone with a pulse.

I also never said Drake was bad. YOU are the one trying to make them out to be an elite team; I am simply pointing out they didn't bother to schedule anyone and they might pay for that choice.

Make sure you hang your "Beat Vanderbilt in November" banner.

Oh and take your fake tough guy act and **** off.

Nice six-paragraph meltdown you stupid a$$hole.

You're the one who resorted to curses and insults over something as stupid as Drake's postseason resume. Mental midget.

You 2 either need to **** or fight.
