Bracketology 2/22

Lunardi: #2 seed in Des Moines

Palm: #3 seed in Des Moines

USA Today: #3 seed in Des Moines

Yahoo: #3 seed (9th overall seed)

SI: #2 seed in Des Moines

Bracket Matrix: #2 seed (8th overall seed)

Frankly, alI care about is playing in Des Moines. The 1 seeds are just about out of reach, barring us winning out. KU and Nova aren't going anywhere. Virginia, OU, Xavier, and UNC are all up there. MSU is still going strong so they look like they'll get a #2. So that leaves the last number 2 spot up for grabs. Candidates for that spot are teams like Iowa, Oregon, Maryland, and West Virginia. In any case, in order to play in Des Moines, the team I think we really need to cheer against is Kentucky. Their closest sites, St. Louis and Raleigh, will likely be filled by the above mentioned teams. So if they finish ahead of Iowa, it is possible they will join KU in Des Moines. Won't happen if Iowa keeps winning and Kentucky has a few tough road games left anyway, but they are certainly worth keeping an eye on.

Just win baby.

#1 seed is still possible. It will take a 7-0 record on remaining games. A B1G championship and BTT title would be enough to earn a #1 seed.

Another vote for Des Moines and whatever else doesn't matter. Looking forward to the Wisconsin game and then go from there.

Yep, BIG TITLE and Des Moines or BUST.

It's fun to see how the BIG tourney is shaping up too. It'll be interesting to see where Purdue ends up in relation to where we do. That'd be a nightmare if we had to take them on first game. The tourneys this year are definitely gonna bring the madness! Let's hope the Hawks catch lightening in a bottle and make some noise!

2 or 3 seed and playing in Des Moines is the relatively achievable goal.

I think it is pretty much a given that it is going to be KU and Iowa in Des Moines. The big thing is that Iowa gets put in the Midwest Region so they can play in Chicago if they advance instead of Louisville, Philly or Anaheim.

If we Win the Big10 title and I think we will, the NC2A committee has to give
IOWA a #1 seed.

End of story

Yes, but they have to play a lot better than what they have done in their recent games. Turn the heat back up boys!!

BTN has a new bracket with updated seeds on their website every Monday. No prob!

We do NOT have a very good history when it comes to playing Michigan at the BTT.

Just sayin.

[SJeagleEye]

True, i did think about that.

Steve Alford was the only coach we have ever had that could do anything in the BTT, hate to say.

Let's turn that around this year again, PLEASE!

Heck, at this point, just tell me we win ONE game in the BTT and I probably take it!
