moves up one spot to a #4 seed. Wow. I thought we'd have to beat Texas to get that high. Now we have LSU as 2nd round opponent instead of G. Washington. Probably a better team for us to match up with IMHO. But I really like the benefit of moving up one seed in the 1st round. Now we draw Wisc-Milwaukee instead of UAB. That's much better. Usually the worst seed an at large team will get is a 12, so as a 4 we'd be guaranteed a conference champ, which is usually a little easier. Still in San Diego. Texas and Memphis still get the Dallas pod. Still in the Duke bracket. Oh well.

Why bother?

You made your case.

SEVERAL reasons were given as to why your opinion MIGHT be wrong.

You took the "I'm right, you're wrong" stance and your surprised that people no longer want to debate about it?

If the argument against it was reasonable, sure I would've listened to it. Saying "well they're both .500 on the road" was...

1) First off, false. Iowa is 3-4 on the road. LSU is 4-4.

2) Secondly, it ignores the actual opponents each played on the road and ignores how they played in the games.

Again, I said LSU was the better team in my opinion. I didn't try to defend that actual point though because I think you could make the argument for either side that it's better than the other. What I did claim was that LSU was the better road team. If you can make a good argument against it, I'd like to hear it.

Hey, I thought this was supposed to be a KU thread. GTF outta here, you other fans.

Iowa dominant tonight on the road.

They're down 49-48 with 25 seconds left.

htismaqe · 02-08-2006, 08:55 PM

They're getting beat at Northwestern AGAIN.

****ing Alford can't win there to save his life.

IMO this bracket looks worse in the 1st 2 rounds, but better after that.

So

A)we moved into Duke's bracket, who I think we match up better with than UCONN, if we can win 2.

B) 1st round we would be playing UAB instead of Utah St. That sucks, cause they have some depth and experience.

C)2nd Round G Wash instead of NC State. That seems worse too. It's hard to know, because all G Wash and Pops Mensah-Bonsu do is beat up on Atlantic 10 Garbage schools.

Would rather have played in Salt Lake City than San Diego for travelling purposes.

Of course whooping up on

today doesn't hurt our seeding.

Mr. Laz · 02-18-2006, 07:10 PM

they better not have OU and KU that close in the bracket.

heck, there's only gonna be 3/4 big 12 teams this year.... they need to be spread out.

i really don't want any part of george washington.

ROYC75 · 02-18-2006, 07:10 PM

Meh, all of this shit is just for kicks, it will probally be nothing like this when the brackets come out.
