This is a fun website this time of year: https://bball.notnothing.net/big10.php?sport=mbb

If Iowa wins the last 2 games and Rutgers beats Nebraska, that's all we'd need to get the 4 seed if everything else went as expected.

It's still a long shot (unlikely RU wins at Nebby, even less likely for Mich to beat Nebby), but possible. And the argument can be made that we want to play on Thur to have the opportunity to get an extra win for the resume.

Yeah, playing with scenarios it’s not crazy to get to a 4 seed. Finding any matchup that generates a BTT win of at least one game would help a ton.

Hey, guys. How did your original predictions go? Oh, so Iowa actually exceeded the majority of the expectations yet…..a lot of bitching. Weird. Some of you talked about a winless B1G. lol. What a bunch of morons.

I have seen no reason to think they can win a league game this year. They just don't play any defense. That said, the media seems to think Iowa is a better than I do because most of them have Iowa finishing around 12 in the Big 10 so they think they can beat somebody. Either way, it's going to be a long winter.

I guess I'm just hoping that the freshmen show a lot of improvement over the year and give us something to look forward to next season.

Best. Prediction. Ever.

Best. Prediction. Ever.

I'm glad they did better than zero league wins this year. I still wouldn't call it a great season. They pretty much have to win the conference tournament to make the NCAA and get, like, a 14 seed. It was fun to watch the freshmen get better though. There are certainly worse predictions going around here.

Worse than 0 B1G wins for the entire season? I don’t think so.

Ok then. Well, you are entitled to your opinion I guess.

No reason 2 wins couldn’t get us in. Would be against a decent osu and top 15 Illinois team on neutral court to boot. No guarantees but that’s using same logic as before we lost to IL. Many felt win that game then one BTT game and we are in.

Our roster is very thin, we need to play perfect offensive basketball.

Yeah, I just have a very pessimistic view of the bubble. Iowa has ended up on the short end of the stick way too many times over the last decade or so for me.

Yes, it’s very fluid and the difference between last four in and first four out is razor thin.

Even better than Johns to Iowa as the new OC.

 

[QChawks]

Few people predicted 18 wins which is a nice surprise

I still don’t see the hawks making the field of 68

Lol that the BTT winner would be a 14.

Tsk tsk…that was corrected before the announcement. Nice try though.
