Iowa isn’t a bad team they just had a brain fart against a terrible team even if their best player was out. Iowa has a convincing win against Iowa st who is good. They have neutral court win against Clemson and road win at Seton Hall. People can trash IU for losing to them on the road but that’s not a bad loss for IU No need to try and reason with the pitchfork mob. hoosierbgh and Uspshoosier 2 Quote

At the end of the day people are entitled to their own opinion on what’s a bad loss or not or if they think a team is a bottom dweller crappy team. I can only bring it from my point of view of why I disagree or agree. Eastern Illinois is currently down 20 to Morehead st. Iowa had a crappy forgettable game against them but for me Iowa is closer to the team that has beaten some quality teams than they are that lost to eastern. Unfortunately for them they took that loss and had their numbers suffer from it. Quote

Cats can stand having a better coach than them in the SEC. If I were Oats I would stay at Alabama because he can win there and don't have the pressure he would going to UK Quote

Wisky getting thumped by a team the was in complete disarray just a few days ago! From a bracketology side of things neither would be considered bad losses. Both are Q1 losses for each team. Conference road games are hard. Quote

Schertz is already imposing his style on the conference. Would’ve been nasty with McCauley and Key together. Not sure how long Schertz will be in the Haute at this rate tbh. Uspshoosier 1 Quote

Some people can acknowledge that not all losses are created equal and that’s it. No big meaning or trying to justify being mediocre just some losses are different then others and if you don’t think other fan bases point out and try to justify bad losses then I’m not sure what to tell you. Happens all the time to bracketologist when they release a bracket. Fans are always going to fight for their team justified or not BGleas 1 Quote

Everyone sees things from the perspective that exists inside their head. Nothing wrong with that. But I always look forward to the more balanced view that you often bring.

But the phrase "no bad losses" is what I don't like. "this loss isn't as bad as others" or "this loss won't hurt the resume too much." It's still a loss. It's still bad. And we lose a lot. Quote

I don't see anyone who is happy with losing and injuries s are not excuses but are reasons for losses. Say Purdue was without Smith and Furst and Edey was playing at around 70% do you think Purdue wouldn't be worse . Also we injuries doesn't just effect games but it hurts at practice as well. With players out at practice you can't get your team chemistry on the court BGleas 1 Quote
