The should be better than that but who knows. They seem to play aggressively and guard pretty well and that gets you steals, fouls called and transition points. I don't think there are four Big 12 teams better than them in the Big 12 this year. Us, Baylor and Texas. Texas Tech is a maybe.NDballer13 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 8:22 am Iowa State was also 1-14 from 3. Shoot like that and only lose to Baylor by 5, even if they did take their foot off the gas, is reason to be optimistic. That being said, I'm still in the ISU is a fraud category and think they finish sub .500 in league play.
They have some good wins, but also a few terrible wins. Blowing out Memphis and Iowa look good on paper, but needing to make FTs to beat Grambling and Alabama St look just as bad.twocoach wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 8:57 amThe should be better than that but who knows.

Kenpom also has their defensive efficiency at #7 in the country (Texas Tech at #9 is pretty impressive as well I see). That will win you some games even when the shots aren't falling. But I suck at predicting much of anything so I avoid it. I'll just take a team that is really good at one thing, especially when that one thing is playing aggressive defense, over a team that is mediocre at everything. We'll see, they are confident and scrappy and can hang an L on most anyone I'd bet.NDballer13 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 9:18 amThey have some good wins, but also a few terrible wins.

According to KenPom, who predicts them going 6-12, they have the worst offensive efficiency in the conference. That's going to be exposed in a league where only TCU has a defense ranked outside the top 50. You mentioned KU, Baylor, Texas, and Tech. KU and Baylor most likely sweep them. I think Texas does too. Even if they go 2-6 against those four, I don't believe they are good enough to sweep WV, OU, and OSU.

Looking at those locations for the Midwest bracket is crazy. Can we switch from Portland to San Diego for the first two rounds?CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Tue Jan 04, 2022 11:28 am For all the talk of the weaker SOS, and it is weaker, Lunardi has us as a 1-seed today.

Yeah, we're going to be in Indy or Ft. Worth. Seems unlikely at this point to drop below a 2 seed.nu_bronco wrote: ↑Tue Jan 04, 2022 11:47 amLooking at those locations for the Midwest bracket is crazy.

That kid should have stepped up into his chest since K wanted to be the aggressor.
Back in the Trajon Langdon years he seemed more genuine and likeable...but man, some of the stuff recently is kind of bizarre. Going after that kid like that was weird. Wonder if he's got some sort of mental issues going on? Ever since he laid down on the court i have been worried about him.
