Does This Lock Iowa In The 8/9 Games?

No thank you! Tonight is almost a must win. Or lose.... We either need to win two, or lose tonight... We are 42 now, so if the committee uses the NET for seeding, we are a 10. Best Michigan and we may move to 8/9. That would mean we need to go to the B1G championship game to get above that seeding.
No way we want the 8/9 seed.

Play to win every game. Let the seeding take care of itself.
Pretty funny coming from the guy who said we were gonna get boatraced by Illinois and play in the NIT. I'd feel more confident about us not playing Duke if you predicted that too.
Says the “Iowa is gonna get boatraced if we play Illinois” guy. Lol
I figured 8/9 was where we were at to begin the night. don't think we can rely too much on the NET b/c obviously that doesn't take into account auto-bids. In terms of being in the field i think it's a good indicator, but not for seeding. Win tonight and 7 seed may be in play, 6 seed if we won the whole thing

I think we can get back to 7 by winning tonight. One thing that would really help us with where we're at now is Nevada or Buffalo losing in their conference tourney. They'll still be in as at-large ,but probably slip back to 8/9. If we were to actually win the tournament (astronomically unlikely), we're probably right back in that 4/5 range because they'd all be Quad 1 wins from here on out.
According to http://www.bracketmatrix.com/ we are already on the 8 line, there's really no chance we will drop because our remaining opponents will all be Quad 1 and highly ranked. I'd say we move up a seed line for every win from here on out. So:
Loss vs Mich = 8 seed
Loss vs Minn/Purd = 7 seed
Loss vs Wisc/MSU = 6 seed
Win BTT = 5 seed
Loss vs Mich = 8 seed
Loss vs Minn/Purd = 7 seed
Loss vs Wisc/MSU = 6 seed
Win BTT = 5 seed
We can maybe still squeak out a 7 if we fall short in a close one tonight. VCU was a 7 or 8 and they already lost today to Rhode Island (NET 136), so we're certainly ahead of them now. A win tonight might even get us into the 6 talk depending on how things go with the other teams in our area that have quad 2/3 teams to deal with today.
But still ,point taken that anything we can get out of the rest of this weekend is pure profit, and in fact we can undo the damage of the last few weeks in the next 24 hours.
