Did Brogdon not take about 10 steps that last possession?

Immediately after they turned a double dribble and a huge travel into 4 free throws for Virginia. Bad both ways right now.

Virginia sux! How did they ever win 30 games this year? Loss to a shitty Michigan St. team. This game featured some bad basketball to watch. Kentucky or Arizona could beat these teams by 30. LOL

Even with a healthy Anderson, Virginia just not built for March.

First he compared him to James Harden, then he said no offense to Shane Battier, but Winslow might be the best defender in Duke history.

Tom Izzo deserves the Laziest Coach in America award for only playing well in March every year. It's not a "great turnaround" when your team is consistently terrible until this time of the year every season. It's just mediocrity.
Just stop.

I don't even have to look it up to know what Tom Izzo has done I conference and what that related to his BTT, E8 and FF runs. They are MOST DEFINITELY related. He has made a rare run when having a bad regular season, and he hasn't had many of those either.

But it's well documented they've avoided it because it's all risk/minimal reward for them.

I'm aware.

Self schedules OOC games strategically based on geographical locations. It makes zero sense to play a Kansas school when we have essentially a monopoly on Kansas recruits (see: perry Ellis from Wichita, went to KU).

It's not that Kansas is afraid to lose to teams. If they were, they wouldn't have back to back to back #1 SOS.

Despite perennially being ranked in the top ten of the preseason, Michigan State consistently plays below expectations with seasons that almost always end in or threaten to end in double-digit losses. It's been six years since Izzo has sustained fewer than five conference losses in a season, and has suffered at least six in three of those. (Yeah, I get it, the Big Ten just beats up on each other.) Michigan State's early to mid-season struggles are well documented and hardly a secret.

This happens almost every year. In fact, a season in which Michigan State maintains a Top 15 position the entire duration of the season is in reality a rarity.

Wichita needs to calm down. They're only down a handful. They're playing like they are down 40.

Rec, that's all well and good. But you're being way over the top about. And I think you're aware.

In no way can you say you hate how he gets it done in March after bad regular seasons, when it almost always is correlating to a B1G title. Even if he losses 5 conference games, but still finishes 1st, that doesn't make it a bad year. You cannot win a conference like the B1G and call it such. The B1G/ACC/Big 12 and former Big East fall into that as well. Every year, winning that conference will equal a great season. His runs in March are pretty much correlated to that...

They've been a 1, 3, and 4 seed the past 3 years. That's all I'm going to add.
