I guess Iowa's collapse will start in March this year...

Home wins don't balance out home losses. Home wins are expected.

Benji thinks this is funny. I can see why. Wins aren't expected at Iowa.

Nothing like a Raisinface shoutout for Tennessee footbal:

Exactly.



Exactly.

It’s funny to me seeing your fan base b**ch that Iowa State is ranked ahead of Iowa and how could that be?! They smoked Iowa State! Funny how truly dumb your fan base is like head to head is all that matters. Those morons don’t realize that Iowa is 15 spots lower than Iowa State in the only ranking that really matters (NET). Even in Kenpom Iowa State is 13 spots better. “But but! The Big 12 sucks! That’s the only reason Iowa State is ahead!” Also one of my favorites.

Benji thinks everything is funny because he is truly one of the dumbest people out there. Also you are right, Iowa fans definitely aren’t used to winning in Carver.

Oh no, he’s objective, just ask him. Don’t ask what his previous username is though, he’ll avoid that.

Iowa State is great offensively and defensively though

How is this funny @iahawks?

Because it’s a stupid comment. Iowa blew out two Top 15 teams at home, but apparently those don’t count to you because they also lost to Michigan State and Wisconsin (two other very good teams). Just a very dumb statement to make. If that is the case, why were so many Iowa State fans excited about beating Kansas at home- don’t they know that win doesn’t count?

ISU is top 15?

 

[benjimill]

ISU is top 15?

They are in NET and Kenpom, are they not?

 

[CyTwins]

They are in NET and Kenpom, are they not?

So what's your go to basketball metric?

 

[herbicide]

I didn’t realize they played that game today.

 

[benjimill]

I prefer Kenpom

 

[CyTwins]

I prefer Kenpom

So you believe ISU is quite a bit better than Iowa?

The Penn States and the West Virginia’s of the world get those wins at home as well. They’ve beaten top 10 teams. Who of quality have the Hawks beaten away from home? That’s more important come March cause the Final Four doesn’t go through Iowa City obviously.

Iowa is closer to Nebraska than Iowa State in Kenpom. Woof.

 

[awd4cy]

I prefer Kenpom

Iowa State is 13 spots higher. You do realize that would mean Kenpom thinks of Iowa State as higher regard right?

We were also working in two transfers and 3 Freshman in the rotation. Yeah, missing Young and Wigginton was kind of a big deal. There was a reason why several national guys were saying in late November and early December that Iowa State will be a really good team once they get healthy. FFS these things don't just come together over night.

I actually agree with you and said ISU is a much different team now than the one that played in Iowa City but I think you are all overstating the impact Young not playing that game had.

 

[benjimill]

So you believe ISU is quite a bit better than Iowa?

Yes. I have consistently stated that I think Iowa State is better than Iowa.

 

[JP4CY]

Yes. I have consistently stated that I think Iowa State is better than Iowa.

Paging Split:

Don't be salty that Iowa is clearly better

Will the committee judge each teams resume based on the NET ranking as of when the game was played or NET ranking at the end of the season?
