Week of 12/4 Games Thread
- Status
It is very hard to maintain a perennially winning program. If you are anyone but Bill Self at Kansas, you are going to have off years.The Sean Miller bandwagon right now
I am not able to watch the UT Marquette game tonight. I would be interested in your thoughts
In light if tonight’s garbage slate of BIG games, here’s my How To Cheer guide for BIG conference games:
Illinois games: you root for the beloved, obviously
Expected Title Contenders: you always root against Purdue, Wisconsin, OSU, MSU…. in that order, until we get enough info on who us most likely to challenge us
Mid Tier -Indiana, Maryland, Iowa, NW, Rutgers, Nebraska: you root for them if they’re playing a contender. If playing each other, root for the home team - because if one of these teams steals a couple of road games, they might just get frisky and become a contender.
Basement- Penn State and Minnesota: Until further notice, you always root for these two, as a W for them is an L for a potential contender.
Michigan: You always root against Michigan. Because F Michigan.
So tonight, it’s PSU and Sota.

Only one TX player could find the hoop in the first half. MQ by 14 at the half.
Rutgers got crushed by a mediocre WF team.
Nice catch on the "Jom". I almost bought it -- a 3 game suspension against weak opponents seems about par. Now if the suspended games came without NIL pay ala NBA suspensions w/o pay, that would mean something.

Rutgers is not very good at basketball
I was just going to say the same thing. Always good to win on the road, but by year end, it's not going to mean much. On the whole, the conference isn't going to deliver as many quality win opportunities as it has in the past. It's going to be even more important to not have a "bad loss".
Texas is severely over rated
They sure look sluggish tonight.
That they do I might of spoken to rash but they really don't look like a top 25 or even 35-40 team the way they played against MU but I guess anybody can have a bad game
That MU win bumped us to KemPom #14
Their best win is by 1 over a terrible Louisville team. They had no business being ranked in the top 15. Based on their body of work, they shouldn't be ranked at all.
They were 27th on KenPom before the loss and fell to 33 after tonight.

Well, that ended a few days ago vs. Creighton.
But it came crashing down harder yet to 7-2.
Iowa State is pantsing the Sqwaukeyes in the first half . . . .
We have Francon 2!
I would be absolutely livid if I were forced to root for a team coached by Fran McCaffery. We're gonna hang 100 on them this year and I'm gonna enjoy it.Iowa State is pantsing the Sqwaukeyes in the first half . . . .

Iowa seems to lack alot of physicality this year. Still have some shooters tho
So, I have a question on FAU for those who are our numbers/metrics gurus. They're highly ranked and highly thought of, but after they play in a conference that's not going to do them a lot of favors from a strength of schedule standpoint.....what numbers are going to get them to a top 4 seed? I see where Lunardi has them as a #3. How will the metrics support that?

Iowa mens bball getting their clocks cleaned again tonight.
Maybe Caitlin needs to give them some clues.

Iowa down by 31 with just under 6 minutes to go in the game.
Idiots Out Walking Around have sand put in the Vaseline before Iowa State put the hose to 'em!
