Ironic because we essentially had a mid major resume this year.

No...but it's also a networking event for coaches and ADs. If Moos was planning on firing Miles...it'd have been done by now. MIles could use it to look for a new job, Moos could use it to look for a new coach. Not to mention the recruiting angle. Waiting 2 weeks (and then some) does nothing but limit recruiting time, so if there is player attrition, there is even less time to account for it. And if Moos had 'his' guy....it'd also be done by now.

Roby is a better player but there is a place for both on this team. Could easily start Copeland, Roby, Finke at the 3/4/5 and slide Palmer to the 2.

Thatd be the only way there was a change

The point being is that if Moos intended on firing MIles...it'd have been done by now...because this weekend would be his prime time to search and speak with people

The fact that he's letting Miles go to the Final Four employed tells you that there isn't going to be a change

I’d take Finke here in a heartbeat

13-19 is not the concern. 19-13 is. Kids aren’t going to walk into a program whose coach’s head is already in the noose. At least kids that have other options anyways.

Also fair to note that 3 of their 5 losses were without Koster.

Always be interested to see how things would've changed under different circumstances. It's always easier embracing a role when you are having fun and/or winning. Jacobson's experience with the 5 came with a lot of losses. No way to know for sure, but willing to bet, he'd have been more open to playing the 5 this year, because there was more on floor success and he was surrounded by better bodies which would have helped his game some.

Have an ISU fan at work who was telling me that their program/fanbase is very excited about Jacobson next year.

I think one of the two (Jacobson & Morrow) would've struggled for minutes. Both play over Jordy though. One other thing though where these two could've found minutes is due to the 2 guard spot. If we had a competent body to play the 5 outside of Roby, I very easily can see Roby playing the 3 and Palmer the 2 with Jacobson/Morrow at the 5.

Guessing because the committee thinks the 8-10 is better.

That’s a troll twitter account. Would love Altman, but we’re not paying him as much or more than we are Frost

I don't see that happening. But I'd be tickled if it did

Even more of a reason to wish we'd hear about some big guys hearing from us.

Wish we'd hear from some frontcourt players who have heard from us.

No, I don't think the SEC had a bad weekend. I think you saw them for what they are. A deep league that doesn't have any elite teams. That played itself out through the dance. Early success with teams falling off as it progressed. And there is a bit more to the non-conference than just a weekend. That's over 2 months. Not just a Thursday-Saturday combo. I won't disagree that there aren't better measures (I..e KenPom) but it also doesn't invalidate it all together.

RPI is fueled by results. Agreed there were a number of NIT teams that could have made NCAA runs. But that's the case nearly every year. Not a huge difference in last 6 in versus the last 6 out.

I do think there should be some weighting to how a team finishes. Agree that some teams gel quicker than others. Also understand the aspect that it is a year long resume though too. Have no issue with the SEC getting 8 teams in. They won games in the non-con. Lots of them. Against good competition. FAR FAR more than the Big 10. If the Big 10 wanted more teams in, it should have told its teams to not suck in the non-con. As I said back closer to selection sunday....my issues are this: -Seemingly changing goal posts annually for the committee. Every year or so there is a new hot button. -Transparency: If you are focusing solely on metrics....say so. Don't paint a picture that you are truly evaluating.

Maybe he was a huge McVeigh fan

Why do I have this feeling we wouldn’t be considering ourselves 1-3 had we lost the exhibition? Does Miles have two 20 loss seasons now since we lost our secret scrimmages those years? Guess half the football team went 5-8 last year since they won the spring game.

1-2 against NIT Final 4

There’s no perfect process so there will always be an issue in getting the right teams in. 128 waters it down a bit

Call me strange. It’s not broke. Don’t fix it.
