Seriously....if Iowa St. goes from 2 wins last year to the Sweet 16 this year after scUM makes it again..........I'm 100% murdering one of these annoying a@@ geese in my hood tonight.

I’m sure slipping a new ball into the mix has absolutely nothing to do with it.I haven’t run the numbers to see if games are statistically different than the regular season but why are the games so low scoring. A lot of teams look off shooting.
I feel like it has to do with playing in these big multi-purpose arenas. A lot of teams are used to playing in arenas tailored for basketball courts, not hockey rinks.I haven’t run the numbers to see if games are statistically different than the regular season but why are the games so low scoring.

I love that show! You’re okay Ghost.
Live by the 3, die by the 3.Wisconsin’s tourney success with two time big ten COY and a potential lottery pick looks a lot like ours. Except worse.
Not how it works.Big Ten teams' disastrous performance in the tournament for the second consecutive years could harm bubble teams in the future. And we are likely to be a bubble team next year.
Wisky 1-17 from behind the arc. Is that coach’s fault?
I don't believe that their performance has been disastrous. The conference had only one team in the KenPom Top 10 for most of the season: Purdue, and they waned through February. Our best six or seven teams were between the mid-teens and 30 most of the season.Big Ten teams' disastrous performance in the tournament for the second consecutive years could harm bubble teams in the future.

I understand how the selection process goes. But the committee are human beings, so in addition to stats of the resume, the impression the conference may count, especially when teams from different conferences have similar resume.Not how it works.
I think Iowa and Wisconsin both under-performed - and although Houston is a great team, we are the higher seed in that game. Hopefully Purdue can do it better.I don't believe that their performance has been disastrous.

Last season, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, OSU and Wisconsin were in the Top 15 at season's end, and those first three were 3/4/7. That was a disappointing performance, as only Michigan made it to the Elite 8. This year, not so much. Kinda what I've expected so far, except for Iowa underperforming IMO and Michigan surprising everyone.
I'm optimistic that Purdue can get past Texas.I think Iowa and Wisconsin both under-performed - and although Houston is a great team, we are the higher seed in that game. Hopefully Purdue can do it better.
According to the Loyalty hive mind, yes.Wisky 1-17 from behind the arc. Is that coach’s fault?
The SEC is looking for new fans . . .I don't want to hear one iota of praise for the big ten next year...
2 seasons, 18 tournament teams, two teams (one program) to make it out of the first weekend (so far).
Pathetic.
ROFL.I find it amazing that there are two completely separate commercials, played every ten minutes, that both operate on the premise that you will recognize the celebrities shown without introduction, but then awkwardly interject, “hey everyone, look, it’s famous women’s basketball player, Sue Bird”.
Sorry, but after mentally blocking out our game, this is my key insight from this tournament
