Crazy Rebraca still has edibility considering he will be 25 years old by next season.
Not sure who else complained this year, but i have heard that complaint before. I even tried looking it up and found an LA times article about it from 2016. schools picked what ball was used. The ncaa only has loose guidelines on what schools have to use. Home team provides the balls which is another reason teams play better at home. Before road games teams will practice with the type of ball the opponents use.
Just seems weird to me.
People might laugh at this, but if the Big 10 is still pillow soft next year, and someone takes that Fran patented monumental leap from decent player to NCAA 1st Team All American, Wooden Award Candidate, I bet it could be an NIT/NCAA with soft bubble squad.
Home team plays better at home because of the comfort level.
The complaint from the Hoks is just red meat for their fans to not accept that they weren't that good. It's the 'but cleats on grass!' and 'but the band!' of this year.
Iowa has a foundation that allows them to be able to be pretty good and probably close to an NCAA tourney team every year at least. They were pretty good this year and last year. I'm not sure if anyone can defy that accurately.
There's just a reality that when it comes down to it, they're also limited and even with outstanding POY candidates, they're a house of cards.
Yeah, the league right now looks pretty weak for next year. Although, Michigan could be pretty good, Indiana as well. MSU will always be at least solid under Izzo but a lot of meh.
When you are playing a lot of guys that have been there a while, they do know the system. Even if the system isn't great, and the talent level isn't great, they can still execute. That's enough to beat bad teams most nights and once in a while catch a good night against a good team. Kind of high floor, low ceiling.
It's like the polar opposite of Kentucky. Loads of talent, very little experience, minimal chemistry, just going and doing what they do. Some nights they play like an NBA team, and other nights they lose to St Peter's.
Schools don't get to really pick though. It's all about the apparel contract. Nike schools use a Nike ball, UA schools use a UA ball, and Adidas schools use Wilson. Schools have all of these balls on hand and practice with them accordingly.
Agree on Michigan State. Their status as a blue blood seems to be teetering almost anymore.
Great that they got all his makes for the year in a 30 second video.
They had to go through a lot of game tape to find him actually making shots.
