amazing athleticism! it actually reminded me a lot of Knott's game-saver last year... go high, bat it up, then catch it as you fall to the ground. Great play.
42/156 3's = .269% those 42 makes produced 126 points.
it would take 63 made two's to produce that many points, and 63/156 = .4038.
team-wise, yes, that is poor. but for an individual, as I said, not horrible.
just to make a point, 26% from beyond the arc is the same as shooting 40% of your two's. Not great, but not horrible, either.
And, btw... you're not supposed to call players out on this board. And, also... you're a jerk for doing so.
Losing in the NCAA does NOT mean:
The team is over-rated and doesn't belong in the tournament.
The conference is over-rated and shouldn't have that many teams in the tournament.
The coach is incompetent.
The coach is an @$$hole.
The committee is clueless.
It especially doesn't mean that Iowa...
the Big Ten was clearly the best league this year, but to call the Big 12 a "weak conference" just exposes your ignorance of the college game. As good as the Big Ten? No. Weak? Ridiculous.
So the Hawks could schedule all of the Iowa private colleges: Central College, Wartburg, Luthor, Coe, etc. They would get a big payoff, and Iowa would get a win that wouldn't mess up their RPI.
Win-Win!
first of all, the original premise is wrong. To win a 32-team tournament, you have to win 5 games (not 4). Minor point.
secondly, with virtually every team being in a conference tournament at the end of the season, every team has a chance to go to the Dance. All you have to do is win the...
Oh boy. Please don't go there. "we beat a team that beat a team that beat a team that beat them" can be played by every college in the country. (Even Penn State can go there after their Michigan win.)
I'm already seeing some "officiating sucks" threads. Iowa fans should realize one thing: You know who b!tches about officiating? The losing team.
(ISU fans should wake up to this as well.)
In the early years of basketball, many times the court was enclosed in a chain-link fence. That is why basketball players are quaintly called "cagers."
LOL seepig is now arguing about how bad the bottom four of each conference is. "Your worst are worse than our worst!"
This thread has officially jumped the shark.
I kind of forgot about this, but there was a play late in the first half, Michigan ball, and the QB had the ball in the backfield for 15+ seconds with no pressure. Gary's take on it? "What fantastic coverage by the Hawkeye secondary!" LOL!
Isn't there a kind of unwritten rule that you don't call time out at the end of a game when you're getting your *** kicked in? The only thing that accomplished was giving the QB enough time to throw another interception.
