So why did you say this earlier?


Because it’s true. You said so yourself. “A lot” (a few) teams get in with an under .500 record. Sometimes it happens but It’s not what the committee wants and not many of those teams win once in.

10 in the last two seasons is a lot. I'm not sure how you can say it's not what the committee wants, but has put 10 of those teams in. Lol. That doesn't make any sense. Also, Minnesota, OU and Ohio State all won at least a game last year in the tournament.

I would agree that’s more than usual but out of what.. 68 teams now each year it’s not. Not even close to the majority. I was at the Ohio St game last year in Tulsa it was a snooze fest. Houston rolled them in round 2.
Question is do these teams get in because of fan base and money compared to the mid majors?? Ohio st gonna have more fans travel than Northern Iowa

Holy shit, no duh it's not going to be the majority. Most teams are going to have above .500 conference records. And no these teams get in because they deserve it. Only 2 of those 10 were in the First Four, so 80% of them made it comfortably.

Not sure why you are getting worked up. I was agreeing with you. If the committee continues the pattern Indiana probably gets in with 20 wins and below .500 in a tough conference. I remember the days when that didn’t happen but it’s obviously different today

Illinois gonna win? How’s Iowa doing?
Weve been pretty mediocre the last few weeks. Weiskamp is slumping pretty badly. Still managing to win some games but theyre not making a S16 without him breaking out of it

Gun to my head id say Illini by 6-8 today

I was certainly frustrated Thursday. Ohio st down a man or 2. We were winning about the entire game until the last 6-8 minutes.

you all healthy?

Ok bud you just said it’s been a lot compared to the usual. “10 in the last 2 seasons is a lot” — ??

You want to argue just to argue? I’ve got some paint you can watch dry

I never said compared to the usual. You're adding that in.

I really hope Indiana beats Nebraska then loses their second round game.

I mean no. But weve been down 3 starters most of the year so we are as healthy as weve been since late Dec
