I saw that pointed out by Leistikow as well.
Honesty, if the committee checks that and it helps for any kind of tie breaker, great.
Other than that, it is a completely meaningless stat since we just lost the way we did against Michigan, and he is including Michigan in that stat, before they have actually won the tournament title game.
Total BS.

Some of those games were 3 months ago with totally different players. So there’s that. Suck it up. ISU is better.
Iowa's problem is that's the only three good teams they beat, nyet?
Usually a fairly solid poster but Lone Clone not even sure who starts for Clones.
I suspect several of the other teams Iowa beat would have fared very well in the Big 12
Yeah, Oregon had Bol Bol. This is a tired excuse. The game was played, Iowa won. It's pointless playing this game of who would be better now. Maybe we will find out in the tournament.
March is such a great time to be a Husker fan - no distractions from post-season basketball to get in the way of talking about how great your crappy football team is going to be this year.
This stat will not elevate Iowa except when considering tie breakers and these individual wins. So, maybe the difference between a 7 or 8, at best.
Look at Wofford / Nevada / Cincinnati / Ole Miss / Louisville / Iowa. Who is the best, when not paying attention to "recent" games. The overall body of work.

And I would not qualify Oregon as a good team- good teams do not have to win their conference tournament to get into the Dance.
Seems like I remember Bol Bol unable to catch his breath in that game. Looked totally "give out".
Oregon is in the tournament. So, Iowa beat a team who is the tournament on a neutral court. That's all that matters.
No one debated whether Oregon is in the tournament. Not all teams that get into the tournament are good teams. Good teams do not need to win their conference tournament to get in. Oregon got hot at the right time- that does not make them good.
Being good has nothing to do with it. Since Oregon is in the tournament, it counts as a win against a team in the tournament. That's how the committee will view it. Period.
