Uspshoosier Posted August 25, 2016 Posted August 25, 2016 I really liked that UAB team from a couple years ago that beat... Iowa State? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile appI am surprised to hear u say u liked a mediocre team like UAB knowing how much u dislike mediocrity by your past posting history. They finished 20-16 ( 12-6 in conference USA, with losses to Florida Atlantic, FIU, north Texas, and rice). They did get hot at the right time of year though Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

UAB is a different story. 25-6 against division 1 (18-3 against rpi +150) (3-1 against top 100, 4-2 against rpi 101-150), sos 296. I guess their best win was at middle Tennessee (15 seed). I'm sorry but I would take a mediocre power team over that resume any day. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners BtownBanner6 1 Quote

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile appSo you'd rather have a team get in and probably get bounced the first weekend because they won a bunch of games with an incredibly weak schedule than watch a traditional power house in a down year in a tough conference make it to the final four? And if you are such a fan of size and athleticism, isn't Syracuse the poster child of that style of play?Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners HoosierAloha and Bobman1 2 Quote

It was all name. You finish 10th in your conference at 9-9 then you don't belong. I don't care what conference you're in. It is like the old Big East where teams with under .500 records in conference were getting in. It was a joke. Cuse getting in was a joke. And I think they were 19-12 going into the conference tourney and lost first round to Pitt. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
