Hopefully Mizzou won’t choke so you guys get a chance to see what I mean, if you haven’t watched them play this year. The way their offense works is a joy to see. Take a look at the Kenpom ratings for offensive efficiency, and at their score compared to the No. 2 team:

Missouri 125.5
Florida 120.9
Kentucky 120.9
Indiana 120.1
Creighton 119.1

A significant gap. And we may well play Florida in the second round on Sunday.

I’ve seen Mizzou play. They are good.

But, that conference just feels weak.

Any conference that Iowa State is 3rd or 4th in isn’t that strong.. that team was built with transfers who were kicked off their previous team..

Iowa State got stronger throughout the year. I think Hoiberg’s going to be a great coach.

Funny you say that about the Big 12. I feel the same about the Big Ten (and yeah I know the rankings say otherwise). Probably just our biases from having watched more of one conference than the other.

Leave it to an Iowa fan to bash Iowa St. I agree Hoiberg will be a legend in the end. He coaches like he played. All out which I like. As for conference talk. I think they were all down hence so many team were in the hunt for #1 seeds. My ’cuse should now be a two or three with Fab " I don’t do my homework" Melo out. We were already getting out boarded every game add in the lose of the NCAA fifth best shot blocker by numbers. I predict we get bounced by vandy who is playing well going in the tourney. It’s all about who is hot this time of year ask Western Kentucky.

...I’m not from Iowa. Iowa State really doesn’t matter one way or the other to me.. Other B1G teams on the other hand..

and we’re out of the NIT, too!



Not that I expected us to win anything on the road.

We have all come to expect that in most things related to UCF teams.
