Big Ten Basketball

Iowa got good and home cooked tonight

Just awful officiating all night. Rutgers mugging our guards all night then they call a bs foul on Murray with 2 seconds left to hand Rutgers the win

Im not much of a " the refs cost us the game" guy AND our offense was awful tonight but Iowa wins that game by 8+ with even average officiating

Real bad
 
Purdue taking dumbass shots all the the time is going to cost them in a 6 game tournament.
 
Didn’t see the Purdue game but I’m not impressed with their backcourt. Someone is going to tear their ass up with a 3/4 press or 1/2 trap on D

I agree.

They definitely can still make a run. But I think their shot selection and lack of great guard play will hurt them in a big game at somepoint.

If their 3s are falling though, basically pack up and go home.

3s and their team can win you 3 or 4 in a row. Maybe 5 against some 8-12 seed that’s never been to the final four. But they can lose easy in the 2nd round too. They’ve already lost a few road games.

Impressive team but not the typical Purdue smothering defense either this year. At least not yet. Add that and they might have something for a deep run. We will see how they progress the next 45 days
 
Illinois out here sanbagging our metrics smh
 
Nice bounce back for Iowa

D is starting to play well

If we can figure out how to maintain the D and get the offense back going we could be ok
 
Damn just realize that Iowa is definitely the team taking advantage of the NET flaws this year.

A NET of 21?!?!?! With 0 Q1 wins when playing in the B10??? Wow

Absolutely pasting 300+ teams is basically their current resume. Wonder how that will be treated in March(lots of time to win some big games though)

The NET is weird. AZ is number 1 with 1 Q1 win . Baylor has 7 Q1 wins and iz 4th

Iowa has 4 Q2 wins and no bad losses with only 1 loss by double digits but 21 is too high given the resume although theyre also 20 in Kenpom so i maybe missing something

Im pretty sure they cap MoV at 10 so i dont think blowing teams out much natters ( could be wrong though )

In any event the NET in general doesnt seem to make a ton of sense

Its capped at 10 in terms of the point total but effiency is huge. So pasting teams by 35 is usually big because your going to be efficient doing it.

NET is flawed obviously but still way better than RPI. I was looking the other day at what the RPI standings would be, it was a joke.

NET at least its pretty easy to know what matters..

1. Win efficiently whenever possible
2. Cover. Spreads are set for a reason they follow metrics. So if youre favored by 8.5 and win by 15 probably good for NET
3. Don't lose home games outside Q1. Road wins in general.

Seems like difficulty of schedule is pretty irrelevant if you are good about delivering ass kicking and not losing to trash.

I honestly have no idea if Iowa is good, average, bad etc

Weve largely besten who we should beat and lost to who we should lose to

Every game weve lost save Iowa St weve played well the majority of the game only to go off the rails for 4 or 5 minutes and then its over

We need to beat a few good teams before i get too excited but all in all im satisfied considering who we lost from last years team
