ISU is crumbling

Just some outstanding replies in that thread

If I'm Marquette I want to be placed in Alabama's regional. They look incredibly vulnerable.

Totally agree. Been betting against the (spread) since the Miller debacle and it hasn't failed yet. Looking forward to more post game squirming after a game where 2 players got ejected for leaving the bench to escalate a fight

Ehh, they are basically low effort versions of the same joke.  One or two were clever, like the Dr Phil one.

Grill hangin w Nick Noskowiak??

Talk about a blast from the past.  Dude fell off the map in a HURRY.  Not many top 100 recruits never play a single minute of D-1 ball, save for catastrophic injury.  Hope he got himself sorted out

Northwestern stinks

[HowardsWorld]

I would be absolutely shocked if Alabama made it out of the first weekend. They have won their last three against sub par competition by the skin of their teeth. Most likely a 1 seed but the sec is weak and wouldn't doubt a 8/9 from a power conference knocks them out

[HowardsWorld]

Never noticed how weak the big ten was this year. When 2nd place in conference isn't in the field that's not a good look.

Maybe Purdue is a big overrated because of non conference. If they lose today to Wisconsin they could drop of the 1 line. Every team outside of them has double digit losses and not in a good way like the big 12

Big 10 is garbage but they have some of the best PR media hacks around.

Huh?  2nd place isn't in the field?  THe B14 is mediocre but they'll probably get 9 teans in.

Michigan is currently 2nd place but their non-conference season was so bad that they are currently outside the field.

Still can play their way in but as of today they would be out.

Houston may be the exception, I honestly haven't seen them play more than a few games, but to me none of the probable 1 seeds look dominant.  The parity between the top 20 teams so appears quite small to me.

Which will have nothing to do with why they get a ton of teams in the field.  They have six teams in that 6-9 range on Bracket Matrix because the conference overall performed well in non-conference, but a bunch of these teams are mediocre.  So sure they may get nine in the tournament, but how many will survive that first weekend?

Oh....my bad.  I hadn't paid attention to the standings in that league. That is weird.

The Big Ten has one title contender in Purdue.  Top-20 offense and defense puts them in the conversation.  Do I see it when I watch them play?  No, but I wouldn't have picked Kansas to win it last year at this time either.

The league still has 10-teams top 50 in KenPom.  The problem with most of the teams is, they're either really good offensively or defensively.  The league lacks a lot of balanced teams.  The 2nd best team is probably Sparty but they play low-IQ basketball and the coach is stubborn with matchups.

An argument can be made for Indiana but they have some pretty wild swings.  Can they get hot for 3 weeks?  I think they can with the roster they have.

It's easy to lose track of the B1G standings.  One game separates 2nd and 9th place.

I dunno, heard they had some deadly shooters and guys just happy to assist.

Too soon?

Nah, that made me chuckle, pbi!

I think Pitt is in second of the ACC and may not make the field.

[tower912]

There is no such thing as too soon.   Bravo.

LOL.

Hey pbi,

Restaurants bars in San Diego?  Is there an MU bar?   Ty.

Sadly, the one area I have not been in a very long time.

[brewcity77]

Yea I can't understand why none of these stories is mentioning him playing a complete extra season.  Maravich did it in 83 games.  Davis will play 144...regular season games.

This is the best stat I've seen all week:

If Antoine Davis scores 26 points on Thursday night at Youngstown State, he will break Pete Maravich's D-I points record that has stood since Jan. 31, 1970.

If Antoine Davis scores 2,721 points on Thursday night, he'll overtake Maravich for the career points per game record.
