Beilein and Izzo are two of the best in the country. Painter isn't on that level. It's not close. It's not debatable. Most college basketball fans would agree. Jesus. It's not like I'm arguing Archie is the best in the world. FFS.
Didn't you think Illinois would be better than MSU this year? Your take was almost as bad as calling Arizona a Final Four lock last year.
Illinois has 1 post player. The roster is missing a wing and two bigs. We'll know more next season when he has that.IF Hummel never got hurt twice, if Barlow doesn't get thrown off the team right before the tournament, IF Haas didn't get hurt last year, I don't think most would think this way. I still don't think you could say he's as good as the other two, but you saying he's not even close doesn't take into account the bad luck Painter has had over the years. Again, why I say it's poor to use NCAA tourney success as a barometer.
Results are the results. There are no asterisks. Izzo and Beilein have dealt with injuries as well.
Translation: "I don't have a reply because I'm wrong."
Anddddd I've proven the rosters are relatively comparable. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's not a fact. You're trying to make an excuse that isn't accurate.
I wouldn't say you've proven that. Or did I miss the data?
If he misses the tournament next year, it's probably hot. I don't see him missing it unless Ayo goes pro, but even then I think we're on the bubble.
So what happened last year with Beilein? Matthews was a four star recruit. Wagner wasn't ranked to my knowledge. Rahkman was a three star. Duncan Robinson wasn't a four or five star recruit. Xavier Simpson was a four star guy. So, now it looks like the starters for UM last year had LESS four star recruits than Purdue did. He made the National Championship game. How is that possible? Beilein won 33 games last year without any five stars and fewer four star starters than Painter. WEIRD.
LOL, no you haven't. You haven't proven anything. Saying some guys left early doesn't PROVE anything.
under Fran Iowa's best defensive effort was #33 so your comment about can't teach defense is so far off its RollLaughRollLaughRollLaugh also if he couldn't coach defense this season would not have seen a improvement from #247 to #122,
He's #122. That's awful. He hasn't been top 100 in over 3 years. Bad. He's not even in the top 3rd of all of D1 schools.
Too much punctuation, capitalization, and grammar.
Your posters are a good case study for the Dunning-Kruger effect. Unbelievable the number of you that fit this category. There are like 3 of you that are actually intelligent that post here.
I said starters. But regardless, he’s acting like there was some huge disparity in talent. Think it’s a lot closer than he thinks.
I was just limiting it to just this year but you would be correct
