Disagree. But only playing 5/13 games against P5 opponents is disappointing when you consider their conference schedule.
That just means they played a bunch of garbage teams too. For this purpose, all anyone cares about is the teams on their level. We know any contender is going to beat a bad/mediocre team, whether they're 150 in the nation or 300.
LOL @ your poor reading comprehension.
You don't prove anything by eeking by St Louis. You prove your legitimacy by beating real teams. Gonzaga's played at least 3-4 high level teams. Auburn's played one and they were short-handed.
Your opinion over Cal's lol I love me some Toppin, but he can't hit the 2's like Brooks against a zone.
Huh? Only one? Gonzaga lost to a team in their home state you aren’t saying is a good win for auburn idiot and Auburn had road and home vidtories over them. Nice contradiction. Alabama and Arkansas are just as good as any of the teams that Gonzaga has played this year. Ucla and Texas were overrated
I like how you leave out that Auburn also lost to two teams that are at Alabama's level.
Sure, homer. Every SEC team's underrated and everyone else is overrated.
So Bama and Arkansas are as good as Duke, Texas Tech and UCLA? Interesting. Although I guess Arky did only lose to Hofstra by 8 and Oklahoma by 22. And Bama's only lost to about 5 shit teams and only been blown out a handful of times.
If anything, the opposite's true. Neither Alabama nor Arkansas has any business being ranked.
Gonzaga's 3-1 vs the Kenpom top 15 and they dominated in all three of those wins. They've proven more than Auburn even with a shitty conference schedule.
That's my point. They only played 5/13 games against P5 competition. That's very disappointing considering we know that thy conference schedule is weak (though it's better this year than most years).
Both are better than Alabama or Arkansas by pretty much any measure. Thanks for playing.
Right. Neither one is worth a shit as a jump shooter. Huge revelation.
No they aren’t. Just because Texas beat your shit Kansas squad doesn’t mean much. The SEC already exposed you in the big 12/sec challenge. When we are more successful in the dance I will laugh at you again.
But when determining how good they are, we only focus on the games vs quality teams, right? They've still played more top notch teams than some of the other highly rated teams. And dominated most of them.
Would it really matter if they'd added a couple random lower-tier P5 teams rather than midmajors? Beating either proves nothing.
Losing to Alabama was a surprise, but basically every team has a headscratching loss.
Suggs, Kispert, and Ayayi were all big losses for them. Getting Timme back and adding Holmgren was huge, but they aren't on par with last year's team, imo.
By your stupid logic, the Big 12 already exposed Arkansas when Oklahoma pounded them by 20+. And Alabama's been exposed by half the midmajors in the country.
Mediocre teams. But tell us again about how they're equal to Duke, Tech, UCLA and Texas. 😂
I think you've been more successful in the tournament exactly one time in history. And it was after KU lost one of the best bigs in the country and their best guard. Cool story, bro. You should definitely talk about it daily for the rest of your life.
Ucla nor Texas will see the second weekend. Texas will lose in first round. Duke is solid and tech seems good though.
Maybe not. What's your point? You think Alabama and Arkansas will be in the Sweet 16? 🤣
Btw, you understand that the same UCLA team was in the final four last year when they were less experienced, right? And damn close to beating Gonzaga?
Arkansas I can see it for sure. Seem to of gotten over their brief Slump. Alabama it just depends on which Alabama shows up. Obviously can beat anyone. Alabama has wins over Gonzaga, Baylor, houston, Tennessee,
Yeah...inferior teams win sometimes. But sucking more often than being good isn't usually a great formula for a tourney run.
About damn time. Not sure how common it’s been for other conferences to place nearly half the league (ILL, IND, MICH, MSU, OSU, WISC) in the National Title game in the last 20 years … but I damn sure know it’s unique to the Big Ten to have all of them lose! RollLaugh
P.S. Looking back, some of those matchups were just brutal. 2005 Illinois and 2007 OSU (who ran into that stacked ‘05 UNC and Joakim Noah’s Florida team, respectively) definitely would have won it all in several other seasons in that timeframe.
This is the hardest year to predict. I hope AZ gets a 2 seed and gets put in Gonzagas bracket.
It's so wide open. I really need to watch more west coast games.
I assume you're in Eastern Time? Even as someone in Central, it's brutal to watch a whole West Coast game on a weeknight, lol; it'd be a literal adventure to do so in EST.
Not UK or Arizona, so just remember that when it's time to fill out the brackets!
This auburn team is better the auburn team uva should have lost to in 2019. Auburn wouldn’t be a weaker champ than that uva team.
Yes they would. UVA played terribly in the tournament and still won it all.
Nah. That’s just who your team was. You guys were clutch but not some historic great team
I didn't say we were some historic great team. And neither will this year's champ.
35-3 in a league with 3 1-seeds is much better than this Auburn team though. Two of those 3 losses were to the #1 overall seed.
Every team that wins it all isn't a historic great team. 2009 UNC, 2012 UK, 2015 Duke were great teams and I'm sure I'm missing a few more.
I agree. Uva wasn’t one of those teams though. 2015 actually probably had 3 historically good teams.
