A good job of asking the conf tournament results subject and decent answer.

- Thread starter Franisdaman

there are a couple who have us as a #4 seed
3 have us as a #8 seed
Jerry Palm of CBS is one of several who have us at a #7 seed
Will Iowa's NET and KenPom rankings really change all that much between Saturday night and Sunday?
Team Ranking Today, March 12:
IOWA...........#14 NET, #13 KenPom
I don't know, but found interesting the comments regarding knowledge of how the committee actually operates.
I moved Iowa up to a 5 today. It was between Iowa, Alabama, Texas, and LSU. Frankly Iowa is just a better team. However, they will be a 6 with a loss today. It’s that close.
The ones that probably update there bracket once a week?
We will be a 2 or 3 seed. I had said that many months ago and will find my post. I was ridiculed.
Yeah, the more I think about it I don’t think we have a shot at the 4. I think Iowa is a 5 seed.
Looks like the ship has probably sailed on that 6-seed, so we just have to hope Iowa doesn't get screwed over and paired with Gonzaga. On the other hand, if I'm Gonzaga, there's not a 4- or 5-seed I would be less happy to see in my bracket right now than Iowa.
it wasn't that long ago where Hawk fans were hoping for the 10 seed (to avoid the 8/9)
The assistant head of the selection committee just said that all the seeds will be locked in by tonight. So I guess nothing that happens in any of the games tomorrow will make any difference. I don't know if any of the mid-majors will be playing tomorrow, but I guess no matter who wins those games, the seeds are already assigned to them.
I remember thinking after the Michigan loss at home that Iowa might not even make the tournament. That game felt like a must win knowing what the schedule ahead looked like. Then Iowa won the next 5 games.
Yep, tomorrows games will have no impact on the seedings unless it's a team getting an AQ that they had out of the tournament. Even for those teams they have placeholders.

What effect will playing 4 games in 4 days have if we have to turn around and play 4 days later, on Thursday?
I'm not an expert by any means, but that seems dumb. So I Iowa beats Purdue by 20... That doesn't move the needle? Even if they are still on the 5 line, they change the pecking order on the 5.
Fortunately the NW game was a scrimmage. Staters only played 20mins. The guys are in great shape. The traveling would be more of a concern, but these guys are locked in. No concerns
I don’t think Iowa gets a 3 seed but is it really out of question? Iowa had
while I don’t think Iowa gets a 3 seed it isn’t out of question? Iowa was a 2 seed last year and finished 22-9 overall and 14-6 in BIG10 play. This years team isn’t far behind those numbers and is playing better basketball to end the year. The field has more parity this year too IMO.
First this is lazy crap by the committee. There is only a handful of games tomorrow seems alternate brackets could be created.
Second, UCLA as the 4 to our 5 seed placement would be an awful draw. Jueng is just getting healthy, they are a very dangerous tournament experienced team with both bigs and athletic guards. One of the few matchups I don’t want to see.

Athletic Pac 12 teams are rarely good for Iowa in either basketball or football. I'd really rather not have Iowa facing Oregon, part 2 in the second round.
Yes. Didn’t realize they almost all of last years team back and added Myles Johnson. Jueng been hurt all year but looks 100% now. Jacquez was also hurt for a long period and now back.
Yes it’s out of the question. None of this is happening in a vacuum. Iowa is behind teams who have better wins. They aren’t going to all of a sudden leap frog them because they won a bunch of Q2 games.
That’s not taking anything away from Iowa. They’ve been one of the hottest teams around the last 6 weeks or so. But the entirety of the season is taken into consideration, not just the slice of time iowa happened to get hot.
I consider getting a 5 seed a god damned coaching miracle this year. Best coaching job by Fran by a very large margin.
Change the outcome of very winnable 4 games and then we are talking that 2-3 seed range. I’m just happy that we aren’t in a “March situation.”
I agree it is, If Iowa was to win tomorrow they’d finish 26-9. A Big Ten team with that record shouldn’t that just won the BTT shouldn’t be on the 5 line.
