No, that’s more about why just looking at quads is trash. All quad 1 wins aren’t equal.
Are you a Bernie supporter because you actually think free everything is sustainable or because he’s the best of a group of really bad democratic candidates?
Go back to thinking a high school team could make the NCAA tournament
Not necessarily. A team with 18 wins against a better schedule might get in over a team with 20 wins against a bad schedule.
Beating the #1 team in the country at home isn’t equal to beating the #30 team in the country at home. Those are both quad 1 wins.
I don't disagree. But that usually happens when its a mid-major vs a P5----Not P5 vs P5. Had IU beaten OSU in the BTT, they were in---Bad metrics and all. With 18 wins. They didn't. Still had 6 Quad 1 wins....3 Quad 2. Did them no good. But, had they beten OSU........
Exactly. You do realize this example helps my case, right?
Like I said----Its about the wins.
It happens with P5 teams plenty and you’ll see it this year when Big Ten teams get in over ACC and SEC teams with more wins.
Yeah. Using Quad wins is okay but you also need to look at overall metrics (Kenpom, NET, Sagarin).
Team A: 5-0 at home vs #1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
Team B: 5-0 at home vs #26, 27, 28, 29, and 30.
If we just use Quad wins then their resumes would look identical (5-0 in Quad 1 games) despite Team A having way better quality wins.
Its not free everything duh. You redneck reds remind me of that all the time. I was born fortunate with a large ability to retain information and learn from it, far more than the average person. I was priveledged. Growing up in NWI in a working class town, I knew enough people that weren't as priveledged we'll say. I know a lot of people who work just as hard or harder than me that avoid the doctor because of money, can only afford to send their kids to average to below average schools, etc. According to the latest estimates, if you take what I currently pay into health insurance, "employer provided" I would pay double under the Sanders plan. Other people I know, just making it pay check to paycheck, would pay drastically less or nothing. I'd rather pay double than see one more gofundme because their "employer provided" insurance sucks, if they have any at all. Now apply that same logic to education, safety, environment, etc.
There are many flavors of socialism and capitalism. I don't make blanket statements on either. I'm not for authoritarian capitalism or socialism.
This is just about the worst place in the world to have a political debate so I won't respond to anything political here after this, but you asked so I'll give it one shot for a host of extremely complicated issues that there's no way we can talk through. And especially not civilly here.
It’s free a lot of stuff. And that won’t work.
Redneck reds is tongue in cheek, after being called a lib**** or other weird derogatory nickname enough.
I didn’t think you meant it literally since I grew up in what’s basically Canada.
no need just lost use of my computer has it crashed, son talked me into using Chrome and all hell broke out. had to take it to the geek squad @ Best buy to fix it.
gee did I call in the Indiana vs Iowa. they just don't have much success in Assembly Hall going back multiple decades,.
lack of defense had nothing to do with it. it was lack of healthy bodies as Iowa is now down 3 starters and are now going to have to rely on WALK ON'S to come off the bench.
in Fredrick they lost their 3rd leading scorer, their best 3 point shooter and one of the best 3 point shooters in the BT. Fredrick was the best perimeter defenders on the team. not bad for a FR.
Shaka Smart is terrible. I can’t believe people thought he was a better option than Howard.
Stupid ass UW fans wanted him too. One hit wonders rarely continue that success at bigger schools.
Finally! Lol. Kidding.
Yeah man. I may not like some of the democrat policies proposed by people like Hilldog, Bloomberg or Klobuchar, but at least they’re not dumb enough to go full socialism.
People who are supporting Sanders are either not that intelligent or at worst lying to themselves thinking actual socialism will work when it never has in the history of the world.
when I look at who will rejoin the team for the 20-21 season
7'0 Nunge as a starter in his FR season he did this
15.7 mpg
5.7 ppg 5th on the team in scoring
2.8 rpg
25 total blocks 2nd on the team
21 steals T 3rd on the team
when he returns he could play 25 mpg at the 4 or 5 giving Garza the relief he needs,
Jordan @ 100% after playing hurt the last 3 seasons, 1st a foot injury trhen back to back hip surgeries, where nobody has seen him play healthy.
as a FR he was #2 in steals, even injured his defense was there.
Fredrick has done this
28.1 mpg
10.7 ppg 3rd on the team
2.0 rpg
2.6 apg
49.7 % from the field
78.6% from the FTL
46.7% from 3
17 steals
in 22 games
adding these 3 will improve the defense. not to mention open up the interior for Garza,
enjoy Iowa's struggle playing short handed as it won't be like this in the future. oh one more note this was the starting 5
FR Toussaint
RSFR Fredrick
SO Wieskamp
RSSO Connor
JR Garza.
not one single SR starter to step up as the leader like these in the past
PG Gesell
SG Jok
F Uthoff
G Marble
F White
next season these will be the SR's that will step in
Garza 1st Team AA
Jordan 3rd team All BT coming off his JR season
Wieskamp 2nd Team All BT at best and 3rd Team All BT at worst this season. this will be the best team in Fran's tenure, '
so yuck it up, trash these players till you gag on it.

Awarding Cowan 3 free throws for that is beyond an abortion. Oh look MSU getting the short end of the whistle at home, again, in a big game.
Like I always say only premier major conference program that consistently gets a bad whistle at home

Who’s the next victim at the RAC?
OT the Iowa Baseball team just beat St Joe's after St Joe's beat OSU yesterday
the Baseball season is getting started
the Baseball season is getting started
Yep. Soon to be 5 game. We have some winnable games to end the season though.
Illinois fans showed up at the RAC. Most fans by far this season
I’m a good friend and I’ll remind you.
-First team in 50 years to start the season #1 and fall out of the top 25.
