Agreed. It was good last year, 6 bids, but i think it’s a little deeper this year. It was my favorite conference to watch last year after the MWC. Very competitive games, as mentioned above, seems like providence is in an OT game weekly.

Big 12 this year will be ridiculous.  All 10 teams in the NET top 75.  Every team has a chance at making the tourney

I feel like 8 or 9 of the big East teams can beat each other. Clearly big home court advantages in all college basketball. But it’s a solid conference this year.

Probably a 3-5 bid conference this year though. UConn, Xavier, Marquette, St Johns and Providence are probably the schools with the best chances.

Iupui’s big win yesterday was only good enough to move up 2 spots to 360th in the NET.   I would have guess they would have moved up more after beating the 250th team.    Tough to crawl out of the very bottom of the NET

Iowa is down 9 to E Illinois with 8:32 to go.   Probably on big 10 + so can’t watch

Commerce went from 250 to 286.

Iowa was a 30+ point favorite and they are down 13 with 3:39 to go.   Doesn’t always go as planned when you play cupcakes even when you have injured players

Marty!

Tell me Iowa is losing to a cupcake without telling me Iowa is losing to a cupcake

Sounds like a lump of coal.

Iowa down 11 with 1:30 left.

I did a double take when I saw this. Eastern Illinois is 348 in Kenpom...after winning the game. That's 5 spots below Elon and 1 spot below Bethune-Cookman.

The silly thing is, Iowa will probably still beat at least 6 or 7 Big Ten teams at home "because that's life on the road in the Big Ten."

Lol…that is bad. I wonder what happened. Those 300+ teams would lose to top D2 and even some D3 teams. B1G teams should never lose to them. 

[Uspshoosier 45,911]

Games before Christmas break are no joke.   Yesterday these 5 teams won

I think I read E Illinois had a 2% chance to win

And Kennesaw State is well aware of this!

I hope IUBB is.

[Stuhoo 81,216]

Iowa held Eastern Illinois to (checks box score) 60.0% from the floor.

Saw that Iowa State has cancelled their men and women's game for tomorrow due to weather.  Wonder if more will be cancelled on Thursday or Friday due to the blizzard lime conditions that is expected in some areas.
