*** #12 Iowa vs Nebraska WBB Game Thread ***
- Thread starter huntermmm
- Start date
Gotta play some good D today. Nebraska is a great offensive team, they’re deep, and almost everyone on that roster is a shooter
Nebraska's three-point shooting will be the X-Factor. It shot 36% as a team this year, but in both Big Ten Tournament games it shot 47%. Against Iowa this year, it shot 27% in the first game and 47% in the second.
5 Questions:
What is Iowa's NCAA Tournament seed:
1) Right Now
2) If we lose today (we still host the 1st two rounds of the NCAA Tournament, correct?)
3) If we win today, lose the Championship game
4) If we win the B1G Tournament Championship
And finally:
5) What are the chances (or odds) that Iowa wins a National Championship for @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset ?

I believe we're pretty solidly locked into a 4 seed at this point. I don't know, though, if winning the B10 tournament will be enough to bump us to a 3 seed with the teams in front of us.......but I'd rather we do that and force the committee to have to decide.5 Questions:

2) Probably a 4 seed with a 3 seed still possible. It would take a ton of unfavorable results for Iowa not to host.
3) Probably a 3 seed.
4) A 3 seed with a 2 seed potentially in play.
5) Still really low, but not 0.
I think a win tonight gets a 3 but I believe a 3 seed may be our ceiling. But it is also possible that if Iowa were to win out the committee would take regular season + tournament champ + hot streak + Clark factor + attendance and push Iowa to a 2. Not probable as we have ground to make up but within the realm of possibility depending on the human factor. The likelihood of being a 2 seed increases if Indiana beats OSU and we beat Indiana in the final. Nebraska is Net 20. With a win today Indiana is likely Net 15. At that point Iowa's resume is hard to argue against. OSU is currently Net 30 but with a win over Indiana probably Net 25-ish which likely would not be enough to secure a 2.I believe we're pretty solidly locked into a 4 seed at this point.

I'm not sure how closely the Committee pays attention to NET rankings aside from Quad 1, 2, 3 wins and losses. I'm sure it's a factor, but North Carolina (for example) is ranked 6th in the NET ranking, but wasn't in the Committee's top 16.
Something tells me we will see something even more special today
Nebraska has more overall perimeter athleticism than Michigan (but no Phelia), and will be a big problem for Iowa. Would rather have played a somewhat fading Michigan.
It’s her basketball weight 😃This is that
Indiana is two and a half minutes from knocking off #1 seed Ohio State. It's going to come down to them making free throws. The path is there for a Big Ten Championship for the Hawkeyes.
Gotta take down Nebraska again first! Let’s go Hawks!
With the Indiana win there's really no doubt Iowa will be in the Top 16. The Indiana win also helps boost Iowa's resume. Win against Nebraska, and we have a very good chance of being a 3 seed. I still think a 2 could be possible if they win it all.
Turnovers and rebounding. Same issues different day. Defensive intensity is good so we're still in it but we have to block out and value the ball.
Clark has been pretty bad so far and we're only down 3. She'll figure it out eventually. Otherwise, Martin and O'Grady are having a huge impact for a second consecutive day. Warnock has to learn to not take bad fouls.
Clark looks pretty uninterested tonight for some reason.
Every women’s basketball games the refs blow a$$.
Clark is playing her butt off trying to make stuff happen. Other players need to step up. A lot of those turnovers were catchable passes. Monika has not done much at all. Clark and Martin and O'Grady are keeping us in it.
