Michigan is 11 in kenpom
yeah...our nonconf turned out fine this year
Louisville has turned out better than expected coming into the season, but Providence, Georgia Tech, and OSU are all awful, and the other 7 teams are just embarrassing. When you are 13-3 with three Q-1 wins, but barely in the top 50, it shows how bad the schedule was.
this was always the issue .
No, it’s not. Again, why do you think our NET is already so low despite having three very good wins? Is there a reason you won’t just acknowledge this? I genuinely don’t understand why for three years, people pretend like it’s not an issue. Look at the NET and you’ll find all kinds of teams with as many or more losses ahead of us. Same with KenPom and every other metric. It’s ok to admit that our schedule hurts us. You won’t get your fan card revoked.
It was always the issue because even if you had a good nonconference sos you aren’t getting in with a 5-13 or 6-12 conference record.
How about if you go 8-10 in the Big 12? Noncon matter there or no?
Is that what we are talking about?
Yes, it’s all part of the picture. People pretending otherwise are either being disingenuous or obtuse. Schedule matters. Again, we are 13-3 with three very good neutral court wins and are already on thin nice.
I’m so jealous of what ISU has managed to build so quickly. Absolutely incredible
Iowa st has had a great basketball tradition since Johnny Orr. They’ve had some great coaches and their fans and donors support the program. Their gym is always packed. Yet, they’ve not had anywhere near the ncaa tourney success that OU has had.
They were 0-19 four years ago. And their overall tradition isn’t close to ours, not just in the tourney. But their fans are amazing. And not just in basketball, although that’s definitely what they are best known for. It’s incredibly impressive.
They also had Wayne Morgan and Steve Prohm. Prohm was fired for the 0-19. Both were arguably worse than Greg McDermott.
