No, it's because Pomeroy has created a statistical analysis that has proven to be more accurate than anything out there.

You like to point out that tid bit at every chance regarding Wisconsin as it helps with your Napoleon complex regarding the Badger program. It appears Pomeroy is much smarter than everyone else in regards to Wisconsin as most national analysts rank us too low only to have egg on their face at the end of the year. As I'm imagining you will at the end of next season.....

I constantly see you running to a Hawkeye board to keep reminding us how great Wisky is. Im sure Jon Miller isnt going to the Wisky Scout Board to constantly vouch for the Hawks. You are obsessed with Iowa and everytime you come here it proves it more and more.
 
AB, you are worth the price of admission today. Very entertaining.

Thanks fella, just trying to educate you. Like I said, I'll be saving those rankings you posted to bring out at the end of the year.

I agree with Gasaway's take on Iowa. I'd say 11-7 to 13-5 is quite reasonable. Depends on how the schedule sets up.
 
Egg on their face? Like when Wisconsin lost in the first round of the NCAA tourney and you hid like a coward and pretended that you didn't predict multiple times that Wisconsin would make a deep run in the tourney.

Yeah, got it.

Well when people are picking you to not even MAKE the tournament, much less win COY and finish higher than 4th then I fail to see how there is egg on anyone's face from Wisconsin.

And you sure showed them, nothing like losing as a 12 seed to prove you don't belong! Wisconsin does good in the B10 because they know the refs let them get away with more than any other team. You saw what happened outside the conference, getting blown out by Florida, losing to Virginia at hom,e first round loss in the NCAA's. They would be an average team at best in any other major conference.

LMAO

You do know that the refs that are in the tournament are also BIG refs don't you? Or that Eddie Hightower, Jim Burr, Ted Valentine and Mike Sanzere routinely get the highest profile games in the country?

But keep on with your "theories", makes for funny reading!

You are what your record says you are, 14-5 in the B10 and just 9-7 out of it.

Pomeroy's ranking has you 12th at season's end, Sagarin 15th, Massey 19th, RPI 32nd and BPI 25th. You got a 5 seed in the tournament and lost in the first round. This evidence tells me that Pomeroy's ranking is actually LESS accurate than anything out there. I don't know if you noticed, but Jon didn't say that KenPom's system overvalued Wisconsin every year. He said that KenPom says that his system overvalued Wisconsin every year. You have a lot of high praise for a guy who says Wisconsin is consistently overrated.
 
A couple of things of interest: Stony Brook gets 13 seed. UCLA gets 6 seed. Will be interesting to watch both teams.

You guys just use the metric that suits your argument best. All I heard prior to selection Sunday was how bad the RPI sucked and that Kenpom should be the metric used.

It doesn't really matter though, we EARNED our way to the NCAA tournament. We went 4-0 against Indiana and Michigan (the BIG champ and the NCAA runner-up). That tells me that Wisconsin can beat anyone. All you guys can brag about is beating Wisconsin. We were your signature win this year.

Yes, RPI does suck. And we also beat ISU, Illinois and Minnesota, who made it further in the tournament than Wisconsin did, and Western Kentucky who made it as far as Wisconsin did. I know how much your ego wants for you to be Iowa's signature win, but you weren't. Sorry.

edit: do you realize that you were using the metric that suited your argument best, and I was using all of the metrics? Looking forward to your answer, activehypocrite.
 
False, the Hawks signature win was at Virginia to advance to the final four. The same Virginia team that won in Madison.


That is freaking hilarious!!!!! The Final Four of the NIT, OMG;);););););)

We were still figuring out how to play without our PG when Virginia came here. That's what teams with good coaches do, they get better by the end of the year.

final four comment was made in jest you friggin dolt. You really think anybody considers it the Final Four?

And I agree Fran is a good coach. Iowa was playing its best ball at the end of the year.

However, Wisky was not. Which was evidenced by that dreadful performance in the NCAA tournament.

No one here said Wisconsin wouldn't make the tournament, stop putting words in other people's mouths.

The Egg on someone's face is yours there pal. You're king of pointless, cowardless predictions and when they flop you run and hide and when you come back to the site you pretend like nothing happened.

Egg on your face.

Never mind that we went to the Finals of the BTT five days prior......

We went cold, it happens. Had we shot even 5% below our season average we win that game, so our defense still came to play as it always does. They didn't beat us, we couldn't hit water falling out of a boat that game.
