March Madness 2023

[B-town hoopsfan]

A lot of soft Iowa fans and people in general out there.  No one cared when Clark did the same thing or when she was daring the South Carolina player to shoot it a few days ago

This was in response to the exact same thing CC did the night before.  Sorry the darling of WCBB couldn’t receive what she dishes.

 

The amount of people upset with the LSU girl is beyond crazy considering CC did the same thing on Friday.  F Iowa man.

I don’t think anyone outside of Iowa City is a Fan of hers…

I get tired of all this talk about respect and disrespect.  Just play the damn game and demonstrate your ability. Clark tends to be a showman and rubs many the wrong way.  I would just like her to let her game speak for itself.  And it speaks loudly. Same with Reese.

I'd assume that was one of the most watched women's ncaa championship games in history. Kudos for them to figuring out how to capture national attention.

Put me down for the school of Tony Gywnn, Marshall Faulk and Aguek Arop.

Clark had a lot to do with that.  Tonight's ratings might not be so good.

Where’s the love for Mpls North’s Khalid El-Amin & UConn…? I guess they did knock us out of the Tournament didn’t they. It’s hard to keep all 7 straight sometimes…

I won’t lie— it was kind of fun to see Creighton whiners still going last night and this morning.  Saying things like “sure would have been nice to see Creighton play UCONN” and complaining about how much they were/weren’t shown in One Shining Moment.

Another Big East team was the only chance we had at getting a better game. UConn was a damn locomotive otherwise.

Let's see now, UConn beat Creighton by 9 this season and we beat them by 10 so that means the Championship game would have been a 1 point victory for Nebraska had we been invited. What a game!

The 4th place Big East team won it all.  I guess Kenpom did know something after all.  UCONN is very talented but didn’t put it together until the end of the season.  Exactly what you want to happen to make a deep tournament run.  
 

I wish we would click at the end of the season one of these years…just friggin ONCE.

We kind of did... we just clicked off too soon.

UConn started the season ranked #27 by Pomeroy, but by late November they moved into the top ten at #8 after beating Alabama, then #6 after beating Iowa State.  They were never lower than #6 all season after that even during their slump in January losing 6 out of 8 games.

 

By contrast Creighton started at #23 and were only in the top ten (#9) for a few days in mid February after beating UConn on the road.  They were mostly ranked between #12 and #15.

 

So perhaps by record UConn was fourth in their own league but by KenPom at least they were easily #1 in the Big East with Marquette second and Creighton third followed by Xavier and Providence.  Ken probably doesn't get enough credit for his algorithms.

Let’s not forget who took down KenPom this season…*A-hem*

It was that bowl of chili, wasn't it? I knew Kem Pomeroy was a light-weight in his chili consumption.

@jdw What gives on the downvote? UConn only lost in conference. It's statistically true 

[49r]

We're all presumably Husker fans around here.  I don't see caping up for the Big East as being an entirely popular standpoint.

That's fair I get that. Just wanted a better game for a natty.
