Are we the third best team in Iowa?

[Hawk5656]

That's just it, KenPom is just a snapshot, and a very, very, very incomplete one at that. I'd bet Ken himself doesn't take his 11 games in rankings as bible like 56 does.

11 games is a much better sample size then 2 games

I would say the most recent 2 games is a lot better indication of how good a team is right now than all 11 games.

Iowa is better than ISU.
I hate ISU
They suck, their players are jerks and they play in a girly league.
I hope they lose every game they play forever.
Go on Cyclone Fanatic and try to make the fans there feel better about themselves. We do not need Hawk fans telling them they are better than Iowa, especially after a convincing ass whipping.
Go Hawks!

Games played between the BIG and Big 12 so far:
BIG has beat them 7 out of 9 games played between the two leagues. UNI is terrible and still beat Oklahoma on a Neutral court. Big 12 has a couple good teams at the top and then a bunch of average.

That's like saying every time they beat us in football they're the better team

Uh, yeah. That's pretty much how sports works.

So you think Omaha is better than us? What about the Bison in football?

I have no idea what you are talking about with Obama. As for the Bison? Yes, on that day they were better than Iowa. That's why they keep score.

Omaha beat us in basketball. I'll have to disagree with you on North Dakota State, I think we're the better team

Anyone else see Jon's tweet showing Iowa pgs freshman assist stats? Horner had 140. Gesell had 89. JB is on pace for 150.

They're #29 in KenPom and will probably make the tournament while we won't.. Quit trolling

Troll telling a poster to quit trolling... HAHAHAHAHAHA

Are those real assists or the fake ones like Mike had last year?

Well since JB only has one guy drilling contested jumpers while Gesell had two guys drilling them, I would say JB has around half as many fake ones as Mike did.

Oh, HAHAHAH, I read Obama instead of Omaha. I'm old and need reading glasses.

I read it that way first too.

What are fake assists?

 

[Hawk5656]

What are fake assists?

Most of Mike's assists weren't real last year according to PC because he didn't drive and kick or create offense

 

[kwah]

Assists aside. JB is fearless and clutch. Two great assets to have for a freshman playing big time basketball. He is a big reason why Iowa is the best team in the state. Monte Morris and Naz MeSuck Long found that out first hand.

Why do I care what KenPom metrics says a team is 11 games into the season? They aren't used in the selection process. RPI is the only metric that really matters to the committee. KenPom is a nice little talking point, but means nothing. Do you actually think that Rhode Island >>> MSU? I mean you must, KenPom says so.

Ken is smart about Michigan State
