I would definitely take Oregon. But I feel like UVA is the next best one seed to play. Silver's ELO rating gives us a 35% chance of advancing while Indiana only has a 27% chance of advancing against UNC. Additionally, in looking at the ingame probabilities from yesterday, Kansas and UNC never really went below an 80-85% chance of winning, while UVA dipped down to almost 50/50 with Butler. I think we can play with these guys, and with a solid focus, win.
Edit: On the other hand, Kenpom loves him some UVA, so I go back and forth.
They seem to take it quite personally that others don't like their board format. Reading their board is like this
I've felt that this team has as much talent as any ISU squad in my 44 years.
I've also felt that this team has been greatly hampered by lack of depth, JM distractions, and a lack of hard nosed effort.
That past 2 games we've played hard, smart, basketball. Now that's probably related to the level of competition as much anything...but as CW points out they seem to be focused.
We're not going to destroy VA...but we'll be a damn tough out IMHO.

I would make an account to talk basketball with them, but my computer doesn't run windows xp anymore.
They've only heard rumors about XP...they're straight up Windows 95 on that one board. They must have a whole garage of 386's to support that site.
I think we've found most of those AOL dial up users. lol

LOL some of them aren't very smart
"
They're in Iowa-what else are they gonna do with their time?"
<sarcasm>Yes, all of us live in Iowa and nobody that has ever gone to ISU ever left the state after graduation. </sarcasm> ******* idiot.
Pretty much comes down to foul trouble, imo. Our starting 5/6 needs to play 90% of the game. When they dont, we get exploited.
Same here...oh wait.
And I like parts of Virginia - mainly the coast and near DC, but it's pretty funny. Anybody with half a brain would never think that everyone who goes to a major college or university just stays in the state after graduation. Which is interesting, considering Virginia is actually a great academic school and ranked in the top 30 overall by US News. Poster must not have actually went to college there. I expect more intellect from someone who graduated from UVA.
Can somebody please post highlights of our (Stinson/Blalock team) game against Virginia in Hilton?!
You're not helping refute their argument. You basically just confirmed that it sucks to live in Iowa (your opinion, not mine).
Starters: pts/rebs

How? Do you think that leaving a place and living elsewhere automatically means you think it sucks? I never once stated my opinion about that part - but thanks for putting words in my mouth.
Man, I hate raising my family in Forbes Magazine's Best City to Raise a Family.

That's not a great assumption. I go to a univeristy which is supposed to be a very good academic school, and I'm always surprised how dumb some of the undergrads are.

Didn't the Royce White team pound these guys on their home court? Still waiting on the game in Hilton btw
It was actually in Hoiberg's first year - with guys like Jake Anderson and Jamie Vanderbeeken. ISU won by 13 points at Virginia. This is before Virginia got good again though as they finished 16-15 that year. It would be like Minnesota bragging about how they beat us at home in 2007 when we had McDermott coaching. It means nothing to the present day.
