Not cool; we lost to an 11-seed and 10-seed Iowa beat a 7-seed. Our program is fading and you don't care - not cool.Cool we're better than Oklahoma now!

Look, I'm not here to debate whether or not we were a better team than Iowa last year, mostly because they handled us head to head and that's what really matters. Using only the NCAA Tournament to judge success isn't a fair argument, just as only using the Big 12 Tournament.Not cool; we lost to an 11-seed and 10-seed Iowa beat a 7-seed.

imagine thinking losing by double-digs and claiming we're the better team.Imagine thinking Iowa as a 10 seed was better than a 6 seed last year

Kansas State last year won the outright Big 12 Title, yet lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament. Were they worse than Iowa? Wisconsin had a better year than Iowa last year, but got crushed by Oregon in the first round.. Were they worse than Iowa? I'd answer no to both of those questions.
The NCAA tournament is chaos and although it ultimately determines a national title, it doesn't determine who had a better season. Virginia losing two years ago in the first round doesn't mean that the teams that moved on had a better year than them.

We lost to Iowa by double-digs this year and they are a better team.We beat Oklahoma and Alabama by double digits this year and both are better than us

4 years ago at this time Iowa was actually better and Uthoff was a stud and we all saw what happened. Crazy thing is I think this team is more mentally soft than that team
I hate these threads but I don’t have enough self control to not keep checking them.Yes because the other threads you obsess over this aren't enough.
It sure helps your case when you beat a team but winning one game doesn't mean you're truly better. I mean, we beat KU two out of three times last year but weren't rated higher than them. If you want to figure out who was better, look at the final NET rankings or the final KenPom rankings. They consider basically everything when rating the teams and would give you a less biased insight.But according to Twins, losing head-to-head is not what really matters; we had a higher seed.

Can we somehow combine these into one Omnibus thread? Can we also concede that CyTwins is a master troll but knows little about basketball?
We lost to Iowa by double-digs this year and they are a better team.
