Power ranking B12 MBB ...

[surly]

Why do you spend so much time on this website?

Grew up an ISU fan. Went to Bishop Heelan. Almost went to ISU. Then there's the rivalry part. I like ISU fans. The site is well-managed and posters are mostly thoughtful. It's a method to benchmark the competition. And you boys are fun, for the most part.

 

[surly]

Congrats on being right for once, surly.

We’ll see where K-State ends up. They have the worst roster in the conference, but maybe Tang is that good.

TJ did it.

"Worst roster in the conference"? Please. You can't draw that conclusion today with any sense of confidence in it. Of course, I could dig up your preseason football or coach comparison comments as proof that you'll write damn near anything before the fact, but I won't.

I’d love to dig up all of the stupid sh*t you say, but nobody (even you) has that kind of time on their hands.

Like the K-State football team was underrated? Pfft!

You say this every year.

LOL. Straw man much?

 

[TheJackWePack5]

LOL. Straw man much?

1. Bill Self - has his weakest in first place tie
2. Bob Huggins - ugly but effective
3. Lon Kruger - history makes this case
4. Scott Drew - maybe a slot too low due to his ability to develop talent
5. Bruce Weber - overachieving/only coach not named Self with a conference title
6. Chris Beard - first place but it's early in his career
7. Jamie Dixon - underachieving
8. Steve Prohm - sweet personality/won with the other dude's recruits
9. Shaka Smart - should have stayed in Richmond, VA
10. Mike Boynton - maybe a slot too low

Texas - I like Sam
oSu - would have been higher if not for BLM
OU - rattler maybe be a snake or a fake
K-State - experience and speed
ISU - need to beat Iowa for validation
Baylor - solid at QB
TCU - it's Patterson
WVU - what Brown can do for blue
TxT - never taken with Wells
Ku - putrid

Sigh… these you?

Do you have a point to make, since you don't want to own up to today but rather find some random historical post that's out of context now? But I'll listen, what's your argument?

What am I owning up to? I’d love to.

K-State absolutely has the worst roster in the Big 12 in basketball on paper. Maybe they don’t finish last, who knows.

I was wrong on preseason football, I can admit that. Tough year for the least experienced team in power 5 football. Still had a chance to win many games.

K-State's roster is full of 4* players, a former preseason SEC player of the year, and likely a couple of NBA guys. I'm not sure why you would write that given those facts. But we'll have to see how this plays out, just like football. @ Butler is next up 5:30PM Wednesday.

“K-State’s roster is full of 4* players”

Do you do any research at all or just throw crap at the wall and hope nobody fact checks you? There are two former 4 star’s on the entire roster, at least according to 247 composite (which we can all agree is the best source).

Keyontae Johnson is really good. Rooting for him after his scary issue of the past.

 

[NorthCyd]

I'm really jealous that one of our players didn't get to go back to the hotel room and **** the trophy after winning the tournament. Oh well, maybe next year.

Since this thread is back on the front page, my updated power ranking since most teams have now played a schedule with a bit more substance: (remember these are power rankings, not where I think they’ll finish)

1) Texas - barf
2) Iowa State - name a team below them with better resume
3) Baylor - great win over UCLA
4) KState - undefeated
5) WVU - they’ve dismantled 2 P5 teams
6) TCU - won the ECC without 2 starters. I expect them to rise significantly
7) Kansas must be destroyed
8) OU - won the espn events but is beating Nebraska or Ole Miss much of an accomplishment?
9) TTU - doesn’t look great lately
10) OSU - what have you done for me lately?

Cherry picking to scrape up four 4-stars. Not exactly what I would call “a roster full of 4 stars” but you do you.

You are a bigger idiot than I thought, and that is really saying something.

So, I prove you wrong but I'm the idiot? Logic 101.

You have K-State way too high this early.
Baylor got boat-raced by Marquette last night.
Ku and K-State might best be exchanged.
Yes, oSu seems to have lost their way.
And yes, ISU has the best win along with Texas.

but no coach

Tang's ability to x and o will be proven over time, one way or the other. I don't know just yet. He certainly can recruit - at least by K-State standards - which is a major part of the task.
