"my team sucks and doesn't have a lot to look forward to, but hey remember that time 4 years ago Iowa fell off the face of the earth?" - Twins
The Fran fade
- Thread starter CyTwins
- Start date
Not cool; we lost to an 11-seed and 10-seed Iowa beat a 7-seed. Our program is fading and you don't care - not cool.

Look, I'm not here to debate whether or not we were a better team than Iowa last year, mostly because they handled us head to head and that's what really matters. Using only the NCAA Tournament to judge success isn't a fair argument, just as only using the Big 12 Tournament.
Kansas State last year won the outright Big 12 Title, yet lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Were they worse than Iowa? Wisconsin had a better year than Iowa last year, but got crushed by Oregon in the first round.. Were they worse than Iowa? I'd answer no to both of those questions.
The NCAA tournament is chaos and although it ultimately determines a national title, it doesn't determine who had a better season. Virginia losing two years ago in the first round doesn't mean that the teams that moved on had a better year than them.
imagine thinking losing by double-digs and claiming we're the better team.
But according to Twins, losing head-to-head is not what really matters; we had a higher seed.
We beat Oklahoma and Alabama by double digits this year and both are better than us
I do love that as our basketball team tanks this board is becoming increasingly intolerant of Twins nonsense. Give up the act man. Channel this energy into something positive.
I honestly picture you waking up, putting on a pot of coffee, cracking your knuckles, and sitting down for an 8 hour Iowa troll fest. It's clinically obsessive.

Who was better last year #6 seed ISU or #11 Seed Ohio St? Who was better #7 Seed Cincinnati or #10 Seed Iowa?
"I'm not here to debate whether or not we were a better theam than Iowa last year but I am going to debate why we were better than Iowa last year"
Could have just said that and saved the keyboard strokes.
I hate these threads but I don’t have enough self control to not keep checking them.
Can we somehow combine these into one Omnibus thread? Can we also concede that CyTwins is a master troll but knows little about basketball?
It sure helps your case when you beat a team but winning one game doesn't mean you're truly better. I mean, we beat KU two out of three times last year but weren't rated higher than them. If you want to figure out who was better, look at the final NET rankings or the final KenPom rankings. They consider basically everything when rating the teams and would give you a less biased insight.
For reference, KenPom had Iowa State at #15 while Iowa was #37.
OK. We lost to Iowa by double digits last year but we were still better. What's your point?
