So eye test was important yesterday, maybe earlier today. Tonight? Not so much. Got it. Just trying to get on that logical human being level. 

The eye test would say that Penn State is good enough to lose.

The eye test would say that Penn State is good enough to lose. 

Also Good enough to beat Wisconsin at home and Virginia tech on the road by 20.

Eye test would certainly say that too.

Yet are still 6-7. If they were good, they wouldn't be 6-7.

Good, Bad, mediocre doesn’t matter.  As of today teams that have a win over (6-7) Penn St have a quality Quad 1 resume building win

This isn’t a normal year. I’m not saying they are world beaters, but they are NOT a normal 6-7 team.

They have played two teams that aren’t in the power 6. VMI and VCU. They also had a 3 week pause due to Covid.

Please use a little more critical thinking, it is necessary.

Doesn't matter. If you're under 

.500 at 6-7, you aren't good.

Remember. The eye test doesn’t matter except for one occasion. That occasion being...when it does. Good wins, solid efficiency numbers, other things teams are evaluated on are important except for when they aren’t. Their record tells us what a team is, except for when it doesn’t. Water is wet, but remember that sometimes water dries and therefore that water is not wet. You gotta get ya some that logic my friend. Logic is good....except for when it’s not?

Who needs Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless when you have Loaded Joe Xavier!

Regardless of record, I don't think many people are looking at PSU as an easy win these days.

Outside of Ill where they were blown out in both games, they've competed in every conference game.  4 point losses @ Michigan and O$U, 2 point loss at IU, 8 point loss at purdoodoo.

Who looks better? PSU at 6-7 or Sparty at 8-5(soon to be 8-6)? I say the former.

They both suck. So does it matter? 

[Stuhoo 81,802]

MSU looks like they are playing with no purpose whatsoever.

And, they definitely got the wrong Hauser.

 

[Uspshoosier 46,368]

Zags are looking for a non conference game for next week.   Doubt Baylor is available but that would be awesome.   Looks like Houston has an open weekend for a game

Thought only the eye test mattered? If so records don’t matter that much. Just how they look when they play

No No No:

There just aren’t many above average teams.

Lake Wobegon? Where everyone is above average.

NCAA b-ball? Where almost everything is below average.

If ya ever want to demonstrate  the difference between a point guard and a POINT GUARD, show MSU games last year and this year. If this team gets past their primary action they are freaking lost.

So are Kentucky and Duke.

True. And Duke with/without Tre Jones is a really nice tutorial on the value of ball pressure.

That could be a must watch game.

February 13 and 14 

Drake/Loyola-Chicago play.  That is going to be fun and must see
