Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Regardless of who gets in I will be enjoying every minute of it each year.

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appNot my problem or concern if some people think standards have dropped. If they don’t like the product then they don’t have to watch but I’m going to go out on a limb and say they will watch anyway.

Yea we will enjoy it, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t acknowledge the product isn’t as good. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Hoosiers96 1 Quote
Brass Cannon Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Is the increase in losing conference records indicative of lower standards or the recognition that a team that goes 9-11 in the big ten is probably still better than 95%+ of the non power 5 schools WayneFleekHoosier, Str8Hoosiers, ebridges24 and 1 other 4 Quote
Loaded Chicken Sandwich Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Is the increase in losing conference records indicative of lower standards or the recognition that a team that goes 9-11 in the big ten is probably still better than 95%+ of the non power 5 schools Are we talking about just like eye test being better or performance in the NCAA tourney better? Because those teams will get compared to those at large mid majors seeded in the same area. Back in the early 2000’s from 2000-2005 there were 3 teams with losing conference records and 34 mid majors selected in the same seeding area. Was the tourney any worse then?Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

But recently we are seeing less get in. I think the big problem and the biggest difference is conference realignment. Bigger conferences makes it more watered down. More teams with more losses. ACC has 15 teams, Big Ten and SEC have 14. Honestly I wish the Big Ten was back to 11. Would be great with this 20 game conference schedule. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

JerryYeagley23 Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 If you like missed 3’s you should tune into this Miami/Clemson game. Teams are a combined 8 for 39 from distance. Loser becomes ineligible for the NIT, so kind of an appropriate display by the two. Hoosier Guy and WayneFleekHoosier 2 Quote

Hoosier Guy Posted March 11, 2020 Posted March 11, 2020 Definitely better than most non power 5 conference teams. There are exceptions. Power 5 conferences are what they are though. Highest level of competition Quote

The Mendoza line was named for a weak hitting Pittsburgh Pirates 1970s infielder named Mario Mendoza. His career batting average was below .200; hence the Mendoza line describing teams and players that are below 20% at something. Heard that, Vitale must have been thinking nobody knew what the Mendoza line was or he didn't know. Quote
