Nice little afternoon game for the bench guys to stay in shape.
Hope we win!Nice little afternoon game for the bench guys to stay in shape.
As Stuart Scott used to say he is “cool as the other side of the pillow”.
If the thought of 3.5 years gives you a rager, does the thought of 4.5 years get you across the finish line?I've got a rager just thinking about getting to watch Keegan Murray doing basketball things for the U of Iowa for another 3.5 years.

Was even better at -28-31 was easy picking. The second unit will extend leads against these shitty teams.
Keegan just has a quiet confidence about him. He’s a little more decisive at this point.I'm just going to assume Kris Murray catches his brother in development in a year or two because it feels good.
Might need Luka to pass Stokes on Sat.
Some have been commenting during telecasts about their defense and specifically their transition defense, but being #1 in offensive efficiency means that being #78 on the defensive side is fine.Up to #4 in KenPom with #1 Offense and #78 Defense
I also think they are likely better than #78 as Hiawatha was pointing out some of that is carry over from pre-season numbers.Some have been commenting during telecasts about their defense and specifically their transition defense, but being #1 in offensive efficiency means that being #78 on the defensive side is fine.
I don’t think a team with KenPom D lower than ~30 has won the National Championship. Need to keep tightening that up.Up to #4 in KenPom with #1 Offense and #78 Defense
I was around for 87. If you’re right, we will all be sucking each other’s dicks.I don’t think a team with KenPom D lower than ~30 has won the National Championship. Need to keep tightening that up.
The fact that I seriously typed that out, after the Lick era, and the first few years of Fran, is absurd.
Wild times and will be the best season of Iowa basketball any of us has witnessed.

again, focusing on defensive efficiency rank without also considering the net efficiency rank is silly.I don’t think a team with KenPom D lower than ~30 has won the National Championship. Need to keep tightening that up.

They chose to put Penn State-Michigan on BTN while MSU-Oakland and Iowa-NIU was on FS1. Just odd programming.That was an interesting broadcast for FS1. On a football Sunday against a MAC school you assume it's basically just an Iowa audience. Still, Settles basically just did a 2 hour Iowa infomercial.
Not really. You’re typically looking for a 30-35ish margin which is going to be pretty damn hard with defensive efficiency in the mid 90s.again, focusing on defensive efficiency rank without also considering the net efficiency rank is silly.
the odds of having a horrible offensive game when it matters, and thereby having to rely on defense to win, is basically completely random.
I mean, let’s say for the sake of this example every tourney outcome is chalk based on pomeroys year-end model. We are currently #4 overall with an upper-70’s defense. I don’t think we don’t need to get 40 on AdjD to be #1 overall. But maybe we do.Not really.

my point is that I want everyone to keep shooting threes until people stfu about defenseYou guys both are stat nerds.
Villanova from a few years ago had an offense so good compared to the rest of the field that they obliterated everyone. Their D was good too but they would have still win the championship with a D in the 50’s instead of the teens.I mean, let’s say for the sake of this example every tourney outcome is chalk based on pomeroys year-end model.

Yes, history says you need a certain level of D to win it all, but that’s probably because no champ’s offense has been as good as ours relative to the field that year, but I am not going to look it up.
