This thread has marinated well. Some serious schizophrenia in our fanbase.
Who am I kidding. One look in the mirror and I am guilty of it as well.

I’ll take that bet. That game matters zero.
Nice to have a game that didn’t raise the blood pressure too much.
NCAA is ALWAYS the goal, NIT should only be something for mid majors to shoot for
When you lose to EIU you have to take advantage of things handed to you on a golden platter. If we didn’t lose to EIU this loss wouldn’t be a bad loss.
Yes. It’s an anomaly and everyone will recognize it as such. Ask yourself this, had we win would our NCAA expectations be any different? No.
Things have solidified more as the season has progressed, so I figure I'd update this. Keep in mind that there are 36 At-Large bids every year. Iowa is fine and should get in at 10-10 in the conference with how things are currently tracking.

Damn good game and NW is pretty damn good. Keep er going against Illinois Hawks. Hope we pack the house for the boys this weekend.
Likely the most important game the rest of the year for Big Ten seeding purposes. BRING THE THUNDER.
Make that six straight correct predictions!
I’m on 🔥🔥🔥

Really really happy with the way the team has been taking care of business on the home court ever since a certain non-conference game. But gotta pick up 2 more road dubs.
Next Sunday will be telling. Losing at Purdue is a mortal lock and won't mean much for NCAA hopes. But @ Minnesota is an absolute must win. If this team is serious about getting into the tourny (and more importantly getting above the 8/9 line) then Iowa cannot screw around against the Goofers.
Tell me again what Iowa players were not available in that EIU game.
Doesn't the NCAA committee take in consideration of players not available to play because of injuries. No excuse, but when the best player from the losing team can't dress it matters.
After the loss, all the hawk media talked about was that they DO NOT take that into consideration. I am happy to see the Hawks are to the point where it is looking like it won't matter anyway.
IIRC it was Kris and Connor. But we also beat the piss out of ISU without Kris so I’m not sure they’re gonna let it slide. EIU is something like 340th in the nation. A couple injuries is still no excuse.
Then where do you see this going?
Collect wins vs. OSU, MSU, Nebraska. 1 of either Northwestern/Wisconsin, and 1 BTT win.
21-12 - 6 seed
Ohio State is 1-12 over the last 13 games.
Yes, the one win is Iowa.
12-8 in the conference. I'd take that. That would would be an absolute guarantee spot in the tournament. If the conference ended today, I think they'd be a 5 seed, with 1 bye. Other than not having to play another game as a 4 seed, a 5 seed might actually be a little better, as their chance of winning 2 games in the tournament is better. Frankly, being a 6 or 7 seed wouldn't be bad either, as they could avoid Purdue until the end. Like always, just win the games and the rest takes care of itself.
