My favorite Quad 1 win this season happened today. Go Hawks!

we finally got over the Purdue hump!!!

 

[MeetTheFerentz]

Let's GOOOOO

Our turn for an NCAA run.

5 seed turned out well in the B1G tournament!

5 seed has worked out well for Iowa in the Big Dance, also:

1999 Sweet 16
1980 Final Four

 

[Hawksfor3]

we finally got over the Purdue hump!!!

In a very fashionable way, I might add.

 

[HawkBall23]

Anyone watching BTN?

They started off "B1G and Beyond" at 6p, for their 'bracket special', and then went to commercial after Revsine's mic cut out.

After a bunch of commercials, they've started a 'B1G in 60' replay of the Iowa-Indiana semis from yesterday.


What a s*show this network can be.

Kris..................10.0

 

[Franisdaman]

Was hoping to play Friday to get extra day of rest but that bracket looks as soft as OPs moms bottom

i think we should win on Thurs and then be favored on Saturday.

The Hawks just have to keep playing like they are now.

 

[bansheexyz]

Just can't let Gilyard go off and be a hero the way he was in their tournament. He can shoot and likes to pull from deep.

Shoutout to @MrsScrew. Congrats on the Knights getting to the tourney. You can relax now.

[onlyTheObvious]

Good draw

SDSU has an Iowa kid that was 6th man of the year in Summit.

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

I see an early line of Iowa-10

Providence will lose to SDSU….mark it down.

 

[pocha444444]

Has anyone watched Richmond?

what's the scouting report?

I went to the game when they lost to Drake. They looked ok, nothing special. Their best player is Burton, a 6'7" guy who's pretty athletic. Overall not that scary though, I'd think the Hawks win comfortably.

 

[HawkBall23]

IDC who comes out of that Providence/SDSU game.

If the Iowa Hawkeyes that went 12-2 in their last 14 games - while winning 4 games in 4 days to win the BTT - is the one who shows up in Buffalo later this upcoming week, their moving on to Chicago the following week.

Book it.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Stay the course.

 

[hawk263344]

Of the #1 seeds Kansas is the one I'd most care to play. Looks like an ok draw. Thought we should have been seeded higher.

 

[skydog0784]

Richmond also got done playing 4 games in 4 days finishing today as well.

Providence got smoked by Creighton on Fri, so 2 days more rest.

Big deal, bring it on!

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

From a predictive analytics stand point, Iowa’s draw is very favorable. They are -10 over Richmond, decent favorite over either Providence/SDSU, and only small dogs to Kansas/Auburn if it plays out that way.

I’m not one to say something like Sweet 16 or busy but…..this team has a legit superstar, who will also be a lottery pick, and a very solid supporting cast. Plus they are playing phenomenally.

 

[Franisdaman]

I see an early line of Iowa-10

Providence will lose to SDSU….mark it down.

When you break down the 4 teams in Buffalo, NY, what do you see and think?

Richmond had to beat Davidson today just to be at this point.

Also, as you can see below...

Coming into today, Quad 1 Records:
5-3: Providence
0-2: S Dakota State

3-6: Iowa
0-2: Richmond

And which of these 4 teams will head to the Sweet 16 in Chicago?

[vgshwk]

Well, from my understanding they wouldn't be in the tournament if they hadn't have won their conference tournament.

Hawkeye Elvis is going to have to make sure Spider-Man doesn’t show up.

 

[MAXIMUSHAWKEYE]

Providence and Kansas are very, very bearable.

The bear necessities, the simple bear necessities is all it will take to beat them.

 

[General Roman Malaise]

Chicago would be lit! Better start ordering more Busch latte 😛

How do I get my hands on some of this Busch Latte???

Final Four Picks:

Seth has Wisconsin coming out of the Midwest Region

Clark picked Iowa winning the Midwest Region

Wisconsin? Lol

 

[Franisdaman]

Well, at least we make the National Title Game.

 

[Hawksfor3]

Whatever Fran is drawing up, and how the guys are playing as a unit, I know that if they maintain that level of consistency, we could really enjoy what may be ahead. Teams are pumped to be in the position that they are, but some may tire a bit? Either way, this is so much fun to be a part of.

today, he knew he had kids with tired legs and he played 14 players. All of them contributed. Fran seems to be pushing all the right buttons right now.

 

[Franisdaman]

Pumped. Hopefully the game is a later tip

which of the 4 teams do you have advancing to Chicago?

 

[Franisdaman]

Still don't know how Richmond even made the tournament.

Who's bid did they steal, by the way?

 

[Franisdaman]

what a roll we have been on

 

[HawkRugged17]

 

[Franisdaman]

 

[IllQChawk]

This is my prediction, after watching some of Richmond's games I'll guarantee you that Joe Toussaint will be a major factor in Iowa winning this game. Richmond's little point guard is extremely good and if left alone will bury any shot he takes from anywhere on the court. Slippery is how I describe him.
Iowa needs for Joe to stick to him like glue without fouling, no other guard on Iowa will be able to keep up with him.

 

[ericb309]

Samesies

ditto

 

[Franisdaman]

Any idea what time that game will be?

I know I shouldn't look this far ahead, but I am picturing an Iowa-Wisky rematch at the United Center.
I cannot even begin to think of how berserk that place would be...
