Re: Rashad Vaughn
So they would have only said the bad things about a Final Four team and none of the good? Did anyone expect WSU to make it there? Probably not many. So when they did why didn't I hear much about all of the bad parts about the team and none of the good? Hmmmm.
No, they would have said, "Wow, this is the first time a team ranked 276th nationally in scoring defense, and 134th in defensive efficiency, has made the Final Four in... *you fill in the blank*"
I believe there was a stat posted here, and I don't care enough about this argument to look it up, that over 90% of the Final Four teams ranked in the top 50 in defensive efficiency. Iowa State ranked 134 in that category.
The Final Four teams this year?
2 - Louisville
3 - Syracuse
14 - Wichita State
39 - Michigan
So there you go. That's why ISU was not Final Four caliber. The clones scored at will, but defended like a round of 32 team.
