But of the majority of schools they aren’t leaving for UNC or KU. It’s not 2016 let alone 2006 or 1996.

There’s a new world order. The Big Ten/SEC schools have more money and resources. Most of them will offer larger salaries than KU can

well that's not what you said initially, but ok

there are probably ~8 programs in the big ten or sec who, if they had a coach good enough, would leave 0.1s after offered the job at unc or ku

I don’t think so

We literally live in a world where Indiana was able to fend off major programs to keep their football coach, make him one of the highest paid in the game and win national titles.

And we’re at the start of this era. Unless major changes come soon the gaps between Big Ten/SEC programs and others will grow over time. People suggesting that someone like Dusty May would even listen to an offer from KU are nuts. Michigan would dwarf any ability Kansas has to offer him salary/resources and he’s already proven he can win there.

Many of the other programs are similar. I don’t think Hoiberg is really on the list but Nebraska if they wanted too could match anything KU offers. Maybe he’d take it but I don’t think it’d be easy for him.

I think someone like Grant McCasland is a much more realistic name than anyone in the Big Ten assuming TJ wouldn’t take it.

Also my initial post was hyperbolic but also made it clear that I thought there were some exceptions.

Nebraska fans in particular are going to care way more about this than Houston fans, it’s not like this is some huge, passionate fanbase.

And Iowa fans having their first trip to the S16 in 27 years and having it be a winnable game against a rival will also buy up a lot of tickets.

We’ll have the least amount of fans there but the crowd is going to be pretty dispersed across the 4 fanbases.

When you are the much better team as they were and are likely to be heavily favored in overtime, I don’t hate that at all. Making overtime your realistic worst case scenario is a solid bet to make.

When something is happening, young people like to say it’s “lit.”

I don't exactly buy that that was the play.

If that's the case, there's no reason to guard the inbounder.

You also shouldn't be pressuring the ball as hard as they were (which lead to Sturtz getting away).

You'd want to be a something softer -- more like a 3/4 court pressure, allow the first pass and trap and/or foul.

The argument is that people are selecting non-power conference teams that they think are going to be champions. But that excludes a lot of teams that could be good, but aren’t predicted to be champions. I think we should try to eliminate this type of consideration in scheduling in the first case.

The problem is, of course that every system can be gamed. So every system is going to have a downfall.

I know nothing about the coach of Miami of Ohio, but if he has receipts, this would be a great time to show them.

We have direct evidence that Illinois looks for specific traits when they schedule buy games, including style of play and teams with a history of finishing at the top of their conference. This is direct from Brad in pressers and the actual teams we schedule. I can provide numerous examples from the last 5 seasons of this. We may not have played Miami, but we played many teams like Miami.

I have yet to see evidence that P5 teams are dodging teams like Miami because they’re afraid of taking a loss.

There is also a financial component to this nobody is discussing. These are called buy games for a reason, and for many lower level programs the money they receive for playing these games effectively is their entire athletic budget for the year. That is true, for example, of SIUE. What does Miami of Ohio charge for these games? Is it outside what P5 teams are willing to pay? Just speculation.

On which take are you calling bullshit?

In our case, Illinois tries to schedule a range of mid-major buy games, and particularly teams that will finish at the top of their conference (see LIU; Oakland in years past).

To Painter's point, it's impossible to predict where teams will finish. I don't think anyone "dodged" Miami or VCU.

for most P5 programs.

At least in our case, you get 11 games, 1 of which goes to Missouri, and usually 1 to a home-and-home. In years past there would be 3 reserved for a MTE tourney though Brad doesn't want those anymore. But either way, there will be at least 2-3 other games for high level P5 teams to build SOS and expose the team to quality opponents outside the B1G.

That leaves you with 5-6 buy games, and you have to wait until the other high major games are set first so you know what dates to work with. They all have to be at home for the sake of season ticket holders. Brad/staff will have specific criteria (let's see a team who plays zone, let's see a team that presses, etc.) to provide our team with as much preparation as possible.

Then you have to take all of that, and match it to the SFC schedule which will have its own events, plus women's basketball. And in the middle of that there will be 2 B1G games in December. From there you'll have a finite budget to work with--the DIA will say here is your bucket of money to schedule non-con games.

So take the scheduling dates you have, the criteria from the coaches, the money to spend and then find 5-6 opponents who fit all of that. And despite that, in the last 3 years we've scheduled several teams that fit Miami's profile to a T: Oakland and Colgate in 24, SIUE last year, LIU this year etc. Sure, maybe projecting which mid-majors will finish at the top is impossible, but we have still managed to find some every year and play them.

Maybe Miami was asking too much for its buy games; maybe there were no dates that fit the programs it approached, maybe they didn't fit the profile of a team other P5 programs were looking for. Maybe they were asking for a home and home. But I would bet plenty that there was nobody who said "Sorry, we're scared of taking an L, no thanks." Somehow Oakland, Colgate, LIU, and all these other decent mid majors find plenty of P5 opponents year in and year out.

If ATL's point is that the current system in no way incentivizes P5 teams to play Miami (or VCU), sure that's absolutely true. But that hasn't stopped teams from playing them (this year VCU played NC State, Vandy, South Florida, and VaTech).

If Miami actually wanted to play P5 teams they could have. Everyone else did.

Penn a worse much 14 seed than Wright St. or Kennesaw (edit: no idea why I typed Xavier originally), given their injuries could probably have been a 15 seed.

UNC/VCU was the ideal 6/11 draw after seeing how good Louisville looked without Brown yesterday. And now we get the 11 from that draw as well.

And if we’re fortunate enough to get there, we have the weakest 1 seed in our region.

If I we had gotten Iowa State’s 2 seed, I can’t say I’d be super excited to be playing Kentucky in STL.

In the same way that teams bitched about the calls that TSJ got, you get calls if you plow into the lane at 100 mph because the collision that inevitably occurs forces the refs to call something.

Whereas slow, methodical drives from guys like Wagler and Mirkovic simply aren’t going to get calls because the contact looks less dramatic and is easy to ignore. So you can hand check and grab as much as you want and will probably get away with it more than half of the time.

I’m not saying they wouldn’t have an issue defensively with the very top teams, but look at Nebraska. There isn’t a plus athlete on that entire roster and they make everything tough when they’re on defense. #7 defense in the country on KenPom.

Think the committee should ignore all guidance from teams.

If a player didn't play in the last game of your season, he's presumed out for the tournament.

If he was injured in the last game and never returned, he's presumed out for the tournament.

different and more thorough than when he was here.

I guess he called one of their games earlier this year and Groce invited him to one. The Groce of today is exactly who we were looking for. I think Akron has won something like 43 of their last 45 MAC games.

He just wasn’t ready for prime time back then. Will be interesting to see if he gets another look.

looking at their games, they have had quite a few close
wins and losses. If you look at the game flow (or percent win chance) in those games, Penn generally does not seem to fade or choke down the stretch. A lot of late scoring runs. 15 point leads with 10
left are not going to phase them. We need 40
minutes.

Crazy to think that the first 2 NCAA rounds were SD.

I think the Iowa game was the only other regular season game in HD.

Long ago (when it was all CBS) the local affiliate in Chi. would say they had a phone-in poll...

...for what games they should carry on Thurs/Fri afternoons.

What’s the lay of the land for watching Illini games in Chicago? We’ll be there this weekend

Thinking of meeting a buddy out to watch the game

I used to go to Joes on Weed St. Can I roll up there at 8:00p after the kids are in bed and get seats? Or is that laughable?

Any good Illini bars where that would be possible?

but I imagine Joe's would be a zoo. It's Chicago, so they're going to be watching the Illinois game everywhere, so you could probably just pick a mid tier sports bar near where you're staying and it would be a blast.

Take wide open ones. Get post touches on at least 1/2 of our possessions.

I have this fear Penn makes like 4 of their first 5 from 3, and then we just start jacking them up instead of remembering it's a 40-minute game, and we can foul their entire team out if we want.
