Iowa is ahead of ISU in net rankings. ISU is 4-2 against the top 20 in net, while Iowa is 0-4. Makes perfect sense.

And Wisconsin is 18th at 5-1 vs. Quad 1, 4-1 vs. Quad 2 and undefeated against 3 and 4. There are probably others that I'm not familiar with, but Texas at #14 and Iowa at #19 make zero sense. They are both 0-4 vs. quad 1. They are the absolute outliers in the rankings.

Fran has been a KenPom darling for a lot of his time though. Lose most of your close games, blow out the nobodies, and throw your press on with your starters after the good teams get up on you be 15 with 3 mins to go and start playing walk-ons to make it a "close" loss.

Wow. The refs aren't calling much in this game.

Huggy be Bear-ing.
Balance in this league is ridiculous
I will not be sad if Baylor loses 3 in a row

 

[Die4Cy]

Wow. The refs aren't calling much in this game.

I'm rather surprised, WVU has relied on that strategy to level the playing field for a long time now, and usually the refs oblige them at home.

just stopped by the OU/KU game to say Booooooo

Lloyd Noble looks about 60% full.

Fran: "Speaking of role players, some people think Perry Ellis was around since Dr. James Naismith."

 

[madguy30]

Nice goaltending call there.

 

[ISU_Guy]

Is there 750 people at the mizzou vs ole miss game.

 

[stormchaser2014]

Down goes Duke!!

 

[madguy30]

Duke goes down again.

Coach K looks like he's really done with all of this.

 

[madguy30]

Taking in OSU/TCU now.

I think ISU will turn TCU over plenty.

Iowa Rutgers brutal to watch right now. 10-10 with 8 minutes left in the first.

iowa up 21-17...Officials have been not good in this game..Murray literally just passed it to himself and no call then scored.

Rutgers has missed like 10 point blank baskets...

 

[stormchaser2014]

Bama beats 13 LSU.

 

[Beyerball]

If you just scout Iowa it is not difficult to beat them. First making 20% of your layups in a game helps..Rutgers has missed serioulsy like 14 point blank shots. Not kidding.

But if you watch Iowa on offense teams don't have the PG to kee Touissant from getting into lane which is wwhat leaves players open as defense sends help on JT getting itno lane...

It is why ISU just pounded Iowa...Touissant got into lane maybe 1-2 times all game..

Iowa's offense is predicated on JT pentrating..

This is not hyperbole. Iowa isn't good. How in the world are they as high as they are in the NET and other ratings? Makes no sense.

 

[stormchaser2014]

Marquette beats #11 Nova on the road!

I lose track--does Iowa being high in the NET help ISU?
