A look at Iowa's chances for making the NCAA tourney.

We’re a 7 seed now if the tournament was today with 10 Big Ten teams in. 10-10, even 9-11 gets us in as really the only bad teams in the league are Nebby and Northwestern. I know we lost to them but every win left is a good win and really unless we lose to them again you almost can’t have a bad loss. Stay healthy and win at home and we’re a 6-7 seed.
 
We are in a good position to finish the first half 6-4. Four wins or better second half gets us around a 7 seed I think. Five wins, 11-9 finish and I think we're a 6 seed.
 
Omaha will be tough. Both Kansas and Baylor are looking to be slotted there. St. Louis is doable - Butler would head there as of now then there aren't as many teams pushing for it that are for sure ahead of us.
 
Still think magic number is 19. Should be doable to go 6-7 from here on out. With the strength of the conference the only potential land mine is Nebraska. Other losses aren’t gonna hurt.

Team looks more capable than a bubble team though.

Yeah - keep looking at the resumes around the country, and I think having the 12 teams in contention is going to do wonders for the B1G. Almost all games are going to be at least Q2A opportunities.

Any road win against the top 12 teams in the B1G is a Q1 win, so while those have been hard to come by, I'd expect we'll see the conference come back to earth and go about 60/40 in favor of the home team from this point forward.
 
We win that neb game and were a top 10 team after tonight.. ugh. I'll settle for 18 or so

There’s a lot of ball to be played yet. I thought our ceiling was a bubble team at the start of the year, but we’ve out performed so far. I’d love to see us solidly get in.

We’ll have 3 starters back in 2021 so the good times should last a while. I’d think there may be some grad transfers who want to join us after the next year too.

Kreiner’s the only senior on the team

There’s no guarantee that Garza is back after a monster year.
 
IF CJ stays healthy through the season this team can climb to a 5 seed IMO. This is Fran's grittiest team ever at Iowa and I don't see them fading down the stretch provided no more injuries to the top 7 guys.

I don't think they fall below a 7 seed, love this team.
