9 Seed vs. Colorado

[CAHUSKY]

I'm curious as to how many Pac-12 teams are in. They have three in once region. They must have 9 or 10 overall.

7.

 

[Jimbo]

And oh yes I want us to play Kansas.

I'd be fine with playing Austin Peay, personally.

 

[Kitaman]

Colorado has a very unimpressive resume. But they do rebound well which terrifies me.

Need more info than that. Our regular season wasn't that impressive. I do like us period especially if we continue our good play. I hope we don't look ahead to Kansas.

I'm going to start googling Colorado now though.

What time is the game being played

 

[krinklecut]

Temple won the regular season, we won a 3 game tournament.

Most people had Temple in the last 4, they are a 10. You are wrong that it did not bode well for Temple.

We got the seed most expected

Regular season means less in a league where everyone's schedule is different

I thought they couldn't put more than two in any one region unless a conference exceeded eight bids.

I guess they changed the rules.

Sure, but that means nothing since we lost to Temple twice during the regular season, we were not AAC regular season champs because of our schedule

 

[NHUConnfan]

AAC got 4 teams in the tourney! Much better than we thought...

 

[uconNYC]

Looking at Colorado's schedule, all their big wins came at home and they lost pretty much all their P12 road games.

 

[80shusky]

Don't worry we shouldn't have much trouble with Austin Pee in the 2nd round should we beat Colorado.

 

[B1GEast]

Kansas fans are probably worried about us

 

[husky8273]

What time is the game being played

will be announced tomorrow

 

[Kitaman]

Kansas fans are probably worried about us

According to their Board they are concerned not necessarily worried.

 

[James]

Quick glance at metrics Colorado looks like a worst version of cincy . Josh fortune from providence is their best guard, that definitely doesn't scare me

 

[SaeHusky]

Larry Brown will give KO the low down on Colorado for sure

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I'd be fine with playing Austin Peay, personally.

The matchup I want is with Cal. If we get there we'll end up in Texas.

 

[superjohn]

Seton Hall should be better than a #6 seed, they were projected as an #8 seed before beating the #5 and #3 team in the country.

 

[gampelcrazies]

will be announced tomorrow

You sure? Would't they announce that tonight?

Kansas, Kentucky, Indiana are all in Des Moines. That's going to be a tough ticket.

 

[James]

I know it sounds crazy but we match up well with both Colorado and Kansas . Kansas plays Ellis at center major minutes, we can just trout out Miller to match up with him. Colorado really doesn't have much fire power on the perimeter.

 

[Kitaman]

Kansas, Kentucky, Indiana are all in Des Moines. That's going to be a tough ticket.

like 2014, no?

 

[beakumhawks]

Actually Kansas Ellis at the power forward not center. You guys got hosed

 

[upstater]

like 2014, no?

The Buffalo ticket was tough because Syracuse was there AND because Dayton travels very well. But it wasn't impossible. Tex for the first round went for $110-$200 on the secondary market.

22-11 (10-8)
RPI: 35
KP: 55

KenPom gives them a horrible adjusted offensive rating, 115th in the country. There defense is ranked a modest 26th. Their SOS was inflated due to the hype of the Pac12's ability in my opinion.

They went 2-7 on the road in conference play. Only 1 road win in December at Stanford. Wins over Oregon (x2), Arizona, and Cal. Lost to SMU by 4. They have about 12-14 wins over absolute garbage teams. Their SOS of 54 shows that they scheduled no one out of conference.

They kind of fell off when they got into conference play, their latest best win was at home vs. Arizona by 3. I watched that game, and there were a few questionable calls and had their best post player Josh Scott go off for 26 and 9.

I think we should be okay if we stay out of foul trouble down low. They don't really have a point guard, they play it by committee and shoot well from 3. Could create problems trying to break down our defense. They have a couple big boys down low that are 250+ , but only watching them like 2 times this season they are kinda raw. I have no idea its gonna be a good one.

I'm guessing all the Iowa people bought up the Des Moines tickets expecting Iowa to be there. Iowa residents got first crack at the tickets. Iowa State fans will not be Kansas fans. It will be interesting to see how many tickets Kansas fans can get.
