they (cyclones) are better than you think. They will probably beat the squaks in ames this year. Their PG is like 6'5 215 and a monster.
You don't watch much basketball do you?With the Cy-clowns ranked unfathomably high, this doesn't hurt the Buffs very much.
Why ARE the Clowns so highly ranked? Undefeated, yes, but not much of an OCC sked; even though their RPI was good. What's missing here?.
Very good offense and a pretty good defense. Baylor, BYU, Michigan, Iowa, and Boise State are all solid teams that they've played.With the Cy-clowns ranked unfathomably high, this doesn't hurt the Buffs very much.

Saunders, who is averaging a team-high 15.7 points per game, had offers from Pac-12 schools USC and Stanford. But Harvard possessed an appeal that the others couldn't match. The world-class academics.

Exactly. Not like ISU has come out of nowhere either. That program has been on a clear upward trajectory since Hoiberg took over.
Really amazing how 35 years, college basketball coaches weren't exactly superstars. Not in that article, but when he died I was reading elsewhere that Dick Vermeil was making $34k at UCLA, while Wooden was making $35k at the same time.The late Johnny Orr launched that program into national prominence in the 1980's. So it's not like they don't have some cred as a national program.
What I find interesting (and amazing) was the astounding salary that ISU hired Orr away from Michigan with (the highest for a college BBall coach at the time (1980). An incredible $45,000. :wow:
That wouldn't come close to paying Coach K's income tax on his salary.
Interesting article on the rise of Harvard's BB program.
Although the overall quality of the article is diminished by this:
Stanford can't match Harvard's "world class academics?" Really? :rolling_eyes:
Correct. Harvard > Stanford
Woah, just saw that Georgia won @ Missouri.
Georgia is now a Top 200 RPI after getting that Mizzou win.
Utah losing 45 to 48 with 6 minutes left...
and its all but over. Utah has failed to make a single 3 pointer in the game and UW is up 7 with 1:20 left.
Makes me feel better about the Buffs' shooting woes :lol:
Dear Utah. In the future, please schedule a little harder than St. Matthew's school for the blind for your entire non-conference.
Love, the rest of the Pac 12.
