Some Ken Pomeroy stats; Strength of Schedule

[JonDMiller]

Iowa's SOS is 326 out of 347 teams. Iowa State is 335 FWIW

Big Ten has 6 of Pomeroy's Top 13 teams; Minnesota is 13th. B1G has 9 of Top 48; Iowa is 47 and Illinois is 48, Purdue 45.

Pomeroy currently projecting Iowa to finish 8-10 in Big Ten, with an 0-7 start; he has Iowa with a 49% win chance at NW.

Iowa still has four games remaining against teams Pomeroy has ranked 319 or lower. If Iowa plays Wichita State next week, he does have them ranked 42nd.

We're screwed.

How is ISU's SOS lower when they have 2 top 50's in Cincy and BYU? And we have a potential matchup vs. WSU?

Iowa just jumped to 47th after last nights win, playing teams with a low Rating and win does not hurt. it only hurts when they lose

Cuz ISU sucks!!

Or it could be only based on which teams you have played so far. Pretty sure there's no way teams playing in the B10 or B12 will have overall SOS in the mid 300's.

I would wager Iowa will be playing Wichita State on Wednesday, tip time around 8:30 Iowa time on CBS SN

Pretty solid guess there, unless the Hilltoppers pull out the upset.

George Fant goes crazy in upset win over WSU then breaks hearts of Iowa fans everywhere again leading the Hilltoppers to victory over the Hawks. Not really... Iowa will in all likelihood be playing The Shockers.

 

[redhawk55]

be a good matchup, as they have a 7'0 SR Center who is avg'ing 15.3 mpg this year
SR Hall 6'8 leading scorer at 15 ppg this season
JR Early 6'8 14.7 ppg
FR Baker 6'3 10.0 ppg
a very good test and they are the MVC defending champion, by a 2 game margin over Creighton

Actually, Western Kentucky wouldn't play WSU unless they beat Iowa first.

Aw crap... my bad. Then, hopefully, George Fant doesn't break our hearts again. I still think the Hawks will be playing The Shockers in the finals of the Cancun Challenge.

Interesting that the teams not only will be staying at the the all inclusive Moon Palace Resort, but will be playing the games in a converted ballroom at the resort...

I want to see someone to try heaving a last second shot from full court.

I forgot all about this guy! Was he a late Lick recruit or an early Fran prospect? I can't remember but I think he was a guy Fran wanted and thought he had in the bag, like Pierre Jackson. I see he is averaging a double-double through the first couple games.

ISU is going to be really weak this year without nutcase.

Yeah, that's one of the quirks of the tourney... the ol' ballroom instead of the ballcourt.

We need to beat Gardner Webb first before looking ahead. They beat DePaul and hung with North Carolina. As the fishead General said in Star Wars:

IT'S A TRAP!

G-W is this year's Campbell.

Let's hope Iowa can eat the soup... or some clever tagline like that.
