Barttovik gave us a 63% last night -- a D+? Oh my God, I passed!
They gave Iowa a 97%. Head of the class.
Good for them.
How exactly did ISU get over 50%? They were bad.

They shouldn't be. They now have 1 win over a team that will play in the dance; us (IF we get our **** together).they are literally ranked.
Losing is never fun. But losing to Iowa is especially frustrating. It seems Iowa is always jacked to play Iowa State and we don't respond well. Or dont play well. Football or basketball.
I think playing Conditt speaks to his focus on the long season rather than the expediency of the moment (and George held his own out there). I found it really interesting that Andy Katz said Coach thinks Conditt can be a real factor as we get into the Big 12 season.
Repeating but this type of game may have been really good for ISU.
Quasi-hostile environment, other teams' players living their dream, and ISU playing their worst game of the season and still getting it to 8 with 6 minutes left.
Also despite what that POS Randy Pete says, Lard came alive a bit. He just needs someone out there as a compliment.
Is anyone honestly worried about this loss? Seems most level headed people saw this coming.
Alright BB gurus educate me, I didn't think ISU played that bad defensively, iowa just shot out of their minds. Happens sometimes.

Seems pretty accurate. Their A game, our D game. Still was a game was a few minutes left somehow.
Expanding upon this...
Those percentages mean something like...
X% = you would beat X% of D-1 teams on any given night, assuming that they give you roughly their average performance, given your performance
98% * 353 (the number of D-1 teams) = 345.94, round that up to 345
353 - 345 = Iowa would have beaten all but around the Top 8 teams in the sport
So Iowa turned in a performance worthy of a Top 10 team. Again, good for them.
We have always known their offense could be elite, and it was last night. Their defense is still suspect to me. They are almost the opposite of their football team.
Ours?
63% * 353 = 222.39 keep that down at 222
353 - 222 = 131
For context, we were #82 in the Barttovik rankings last season. Our play last night was worthy of an okay mid-major team (e.g., MVC, A-10, something like that).
Obviously, put those two together, and we see what happened.
We were not good last night and Iowa was very good. I hope this is an outlier for a team that got a little shell-shocked and cocky, not a trend.
There’s no reason to freak out.
My only concern is this was the first good team we played and we looked bad.
