Understandable. I'd still probably put Crean at 3rd behind Izzo. But Still any bodies race

I'd say losing Valentine was worse but I might be biased because I'm not a big JBJ fan

More adversity tonight? What do you mean by that.

I feel like that just rewards him for underachieving before conference play. And punishes Izzo for success. Izzo has had a tougher schedule and more adversity in conference. I gotta give him props for that.

What do you mean higher valued? Pretty sure we were picked to come in second in the big ten after Maryland. Not sure where MSU was picked

Same could be said about Crean finding a way to win at PSU. Could also point out that Izzo flat out out coached Crean in their 1 matchup. Not saying that either 1 deserves it but I don't see why MSU losing a few games removes Izzo from competition. But with Fran and Crean they still get to be in the running

Wasn't Valentine out for 4 of those losses?

Oh I'd say give point values and give it to the highest scorer. Might increase viewer of not only the selection show but conference tourneys people watching the bubble teams

Or they could make it a contest. Let people vote on each selection and the winner gets to go to the final four or something. Probably increase viewership to make it worth it

Izzo is in the mix but Gard is the choice is go with.

Probably just have alternate options ready for that eventuality I would imagine

I grew up with 3 older sisters I have shocked my wife by never falling for that trap. 26 years of observation along with some prior slip ups allowed to avoid that trap. I think it annoys her that read her that easily tbh

Out of curiosity how did Kenpom predictions change for Iowas next games?

Somebody on an Illinois board called this their Super Bowl.

Not sure why would need to rest guys too much if this game is close we had 4 off days and 4 more before our next game. Now if it's a blowout we should rest guys for sure.

Win tonight and likely have a share of the regular season championship. Hope they are rested.

Depends who comes in 3rd iirc.

I figured the Badgers win this game. Still think we lose there sadly

I never said Troy shouldn't get PT so not trying to drag you into an argument. but Troy plays like crap some games and continues to get PT that game. That is not helping the team or Troy

So why quote me. Then quote me in another post and say this one is correct even though they both state the same core principle.

So playing good in one game gives him a pass to play like crap in others all he wants? It shouldnt but under Crean playing time is guaranteed it seems regardless of production.

Not sure why you are condescending to me and explaining things I already know. Or correcting me by restating what I said.

I know that's why I said it. Wisconsins win over Maryland got devalued because Maryland lost to the Gophers but Wisconsin played a tougher Maryland team. But that's not reflected since individual players aren't factored in.

Well nobodies perfect don't feel bad. Kenpoms prediction has no data of our team without Rojo and even after Illinois it won't weigh it heavily enough for it to be accurate.

kenpom does weigh recent games but other things get left out their recent win over Maryland is devalued because stone got suspended and they lost to the gophers. And then their drubbing by MSU doesn't factor just how good MSU is. Completely new team but bad stretch is still having an affect. Plus Kenpoms predictions don't take into account we don't have Rojo. Even after Illinois that won't be fully factored in
