Jimbo's Drinker Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 QUOTE (ScottPodRulez22 @ Jan 24, 2009 -> 06:07 PM) They played a terrible terrible second half, and yet still won by 8. You should have watched them during the first half. I'll listen to your opinion on Illinois State after you have watched more then 1 half of basketball. Ok I love watching the NIT tourney.

Felix Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jan 24, 2009 -> 05:34 PM) Big game coming up against Minnesota at the barn. I think if we get through that and Iowa we're sitting pretty with a couple of tough games left. You're playing us at the right time, as we're currently in a rather large identity crisis. That plus the fact that we haven't beaten you in 19 someodd years spells disaster for the Gophers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except when playing the powerhouse that is Indiana State. Edited January 25, 2009 by Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Mich St. vs. Northwestern. Indy St. could beat Northwestern. LOFL. Indiana State couldn't beat Indiana more than 3 out of 10 times. That team is laughably bad. And sorry to tell you this but Creighton isn't a good team. Nobody in the MVC is good this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I laugh at your Illinois State and MVC clueless bias then? You don't go 17-3 when your not good. I watch all college basketball, and I can tell you your right that U of I would beat ISU and so would the top teams in all the other major conferences, but that does not mean ISU is bad. I could still easily see ISU winning their first round game in the NCAA tourney if they make it there, and possibly even their second. Which would be great for a team like ISU.

You know why the SOS sucks? Because BCS schools fear playing good midmajors because of the fact they might lose. They'd rather pay a school to come to their stadium to lose.

Ill State fans remind me of KU football fans before Mangino. They go 4-0 in non conference, beating the Sam Houston states and NW Louis States of the world. Then they get into conference, beat the relatively easy teams at home, and lose most road games. Usually this time of the year, the nationa pundits will start talking about the power of the mid majors. I have not heard a peep about the MVC. Yes, I know the national pundits are clueless.

fathom Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I can't wait for the day a ref T's up Harangody for his b****ing after EVERY shot he misses. He also just got away with a flagrant foul on Thabeet under the hoop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure KU will schedule with Ill State very soon. You're undefeated right now, and many of those wins came over very respectable mid-major opponents. How did you manage to put together a schedule without any of those tough guarantee games? We don't play guarantee games. We're just not going to do that. We don't need to financially, which is great. We tried to play home-and-homes with a number of BCS schools, but unfortunately we weren't able to get that done. I'm not outing anybody—that's just the way it goes—it's a frustration of scheduling at our level. You've worked under Vanderbilt's Kevin Stallings and, most recently, Kansas' Bill Self. Any chance we'll see either of those programs on your schedule in the future? They would be two of the last people I'd ever want to play. I would take no enjoyment, ever, from playing friends. Truth be told, I would never even ask them. http://sports.espn.go.com/espnmag/story?id=3812982 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way a BCS school will play Ill St. at home and they definitely won't come into Redbird Arena to do it either, which is sad. It's all the same level of basketball, it's not like the MVC is 1-AA or something. Edited January 25, 2009 by kjshoe04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they wouldn't in fact they'd have less of a chance then this year. The BCS schools don't need strong non-conference games to get into the NCAA tourney. So why would they play a good school in ISU when they could play an absolute dog and destroy them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way they should not have been in the tourney last year with an RPI at 32. Yet for some reason BCS teams with RPI's in the 70's got in. I wonder why. It's a shame that the only way in is winning the conference tourney when mediocre BCS conference teams get in. It's all about money and ISU doesn't bring it.
