If really bad teams advanced in March, the Big Ten would represent 50% of the Sweet 16.Big Cat, maybe the most famous Wisconsin fan, said he's considering Miami as a lock of the year pick because "Iowa State is bad. They just are." Of course he prefaced it with "credit to Iowa State, they won, but".
You can tell nobody outside the Big 12 has watched our games or Big 12 games in general. We tried telling them that our games are more intense and physical than anything around the country. Then we come in and win the exact way we have all year, and they say we're a bad team. Our defense is elite. I don't know why that has been glossed over. Antonelli mentioned it in-game, but barely a peep on the studio crews.

I haven't seen a lot of the games but he frequently made me nervous this weekend. Is that how he plays generally? Loved the energy and effort, but, like Gabe some, kept waiting for a TO.
More bulletin board material - Jay Bilas asked on ESPN which double digit seed had the best chance to make the FF answered “Miami”, then gave a lengthy tribute to them. Barely a mention of ISU beyond “difficulty scoring”…
I’m not a betting man, but I like our chances…
Time to find a new mentor? If a guy can’t see past his own fandom, can you trust him to point you in the right direction?A mentor I respect that is a huge Wisconsin guy sent me this after....I was like "WTF?"
"Someone had to win and Wisconsin was terrible and Iowa State not good. Not good beats terrible"
Just watch, next weekend he'll rank us dead last or a 4 seedAndy Katz ranked all 16 and we are #15th only ahead of St. Peter’s…
Good… us vs. the world!

And he isn't wrong. Guards win in March, and they are damn good in that area. We will have to be on the A-game for this one because the athleticism they possess from that position is the best we will have seen yet in the tournament.To be fair, Bilas talked Miami up during the selection show. Said he liked them pulling some upsets and getting to the Sweet 16 and even Elite 8. He thought they matched up good with everyone in their bracket.
Hopefully ol Andy tells us we're the worst team to ever make the Final 4 next weekAndy Katz ranked all 16 and we are #15th only ahead of St. Peter’s…

Bingo on the winning Friday part. If we win this next one, you won't have to worry about a lack of respect at that point. We won't get the limelight still because of the blue bloods that are still to likely be in the tournament, but people will definitely take notice if we find ourselves in the Elite 8.Guess I'm not really interested in fighting for respect. If we wouldn't have lost a few games by 30 and/or scored 40 or less a few times, we'd have gotten it by now. Doesn't matter, if we win on Friday, we will be impossible to ignore.
And I care even less about COY awards. Awards in college sports are stupid, political and biased. They don't mean anything.
I'll take that.Hopefully ol Andy tells us we're the worst team to ever make the Final 4 next week
Second paragraph is spot on. Sports coverage is just like political coverage, every information outlet has an agenda and 95% of the hacks that need to fill time for them carry it out. I file all of it under entertainment not news.Guess I'm not really interested in fighting for respect.
