Iowa #33 in first NET College Basketball Rankings
- Thread starter Teldar
- Start date
12 B1G in the top 61. Whoa.
Not bad. I just don't understand how Northern Iowa would be ranked higher than Iowa. Iowa has road wins at Syracuse and Iowa State, plus a neutral court win against Texas Tech. I'd say that's a pretty good resume. Plus the 3 teams lost to have 4 combined losses?
Daddy likey, we are always in the 100's in RPI when coming out of non con, this is excellent! Get a W vs Cincy on a Neutral and off we go to BIG season!
They have a close loss to West Virginia on a neutral court & WVU is #12 Net, plus they have a true road win against Colorado #30 NET. However, UNI won't have much opportunities going forward and Iowa should pass them pretty soon.
UNI won at Colorado, which is ranked higher than us and anyone we beat. So this is a better road win than we have, and UNI is 3-0 on the road.
A better question is why Liberty is #19.
Undefeated and 6-0 on road and neutral and they'll drop with a loss big time when it happens.
Yes, but the only win over a quality opponent was their most recent game at Vandy, and Vandy is mediocre (#99 in this list).
I hear ya, I think once they get a loss with what you stated they drop a lot like I said but they are one of only a handful of undefeated so I think that obviously is propping them up with the strong record away from home.
Win or lose against Cincinnati, our work to this point, in managing our OOC and the way things are shaking out across college basketball and with these rankings, especially with how well-represented the Big Ten is, shows that we don't have to stress as much in conference play.
Obviously a win against Cincinnati will make things a little easier, but given the overall perceived strength of the conference this year, we are at less risk of picking up "bad" losses once conference play begins (i.e. we get a little extra house money per se to play with as far as what that magic number for our record needs to be to convince the committee of an NCAA tournament bid).

Not too bad at all.
If we can get by Cincinnati, which I think will be tough game due to timing, possibly, then our non-conf should be solid in the end.
I wish we could just tell Kennesaw State "never mind - a bye would be better than playing you, in general". If we just don't show up to that game, does it still count in the NET
? Common Barta, get salty just for a week.

Agreed. Hawks have put themselves in a great position heading to the Big Ten

IA State isn't a Q1 win?

Thanks. Damn, who would have thought the day would come when winning at IA State would lower Iowa's strength of schedule

They were probably looking at the football team. That explains it....Thanks. Damn, who would have thought the day would come when winning at IA State would lower Iowa's strength of schedule
Crazy that Iowa St isn't a quad 1. Should go to quad 1 as the season goes along you would think
