Well, then don't blow 19 point leads vs horrible teams. Makes me feel all warm and smiley inside, thinking that game is going to keep you out of the Tournament. You could always make a run next week though.

 

[HawkeyesRuleURFace]

We need to beat NW and tOSU and we are a lock...I just find it bullshit the way Illinois and Minnesota crumbled and yet they still will go if they win their first game in the conference tourney

GL with that.


And yeah Minny lost to Purdue and Nebraska. And Illini lost to y'all.

 

[HawkeyesRuleURFace]

GL with that.


And yeah Minny lost to Purdue and Nebraska. And Illini lost to y'all.

The selection is so much shit...Tennessee getting in is laughable...it's real tough to win 8 of your last 9 in the SEC, but that's good enough to be a lock now...all Illinois and Minnesota have done all B1G season is suck but they'll get in too

 

[Shanemansj13]

In Minny's defense they had #1 SOS and had some good wins. Illini beat the shit outta us and beat Indiana, but didn't have too many big wins.

It's BS the SEC will prob get 4 teams. Guarantee none if one gets to Sweet 16, moat conf in nation.

 

[HawkeyesRuleURFace]

SOS is such bullshit too...every B1G team played the same eleven teams from 12/31 until today

 

[Shanemansj13]

Yah, their non-conf was tough.

IMO...I would take Iowa over all those bubble SEC teams. Bama, UK, Tenn, Ole Miss.

The committe has a tough job, but hopefully they get the right teams in this yr, which wouldn't include those crappy SEC teams

 

[HawkeyesRuleURFace]

But my point is non-conf is irrelevant...the committee looks at teams who finished the year strong as a factor, so why is who you played on 11/21 that big of a deal...I wouldn't want that job to choose I can tell you that much

Yeah that is a good point. Non-conf isn't as important bc early in season. Top 50 wins and record and top 100 record. Which in the B1G Is about 8 teams in top 100, so it is harder to get wins. And then they consider RPI and BPI<---which I don't know much about.

OSU 68 Illinois 55

They beat Butler and Gonzaga too.

 

[Shanemansj13]

^^^Yeah. I think if they play the way they are capable of they are one of the best teams in nation. Abrahms, Paul, and Richardson all can score at will when on.

 

[HawkeyesRuleURFace]

they're still 8 and 10 in conference play
