in Palm's bracketology. They would face Monmouth in Brooklyn. Michigan is listed as "last four in", so this upcoming game is almost a must win for them. My fear is that if Iowa drops a couple more, they will end up on the 8/9 line.

Meh.........Iowa at their best can compete with just about anyone in the country this year.

But it doesn't really matter where we end up, if we're gonna continue to see this current version of the 2015-2016 Hawkeyes.
 
And if lucky to get past Monmouth, the next foe would likely be West Virginia. That depth and athleticism would absolutely destroy the current Iowa team.
 
Lunardi is on record saying that, based on Iowa's season resume, a 6-seed is probably the floor for their freefall. Only one way to go from here!

WVA needs a team to turnover the ball which leads to layups. When they have to run a set offense to score they have had trouble.
 
It doesn't matter who we play, it matters how we play. Iowa can beat anyone in the country if they start playing well again. We could lose first round if we don't.
Truth. But I would like our chances a little better if we beat MI and get a higher seed.
 
The michigan game won't tell a lot about our seed. A lot of the bracket guys have already said Iowa's wins and their high RPI will keep them up in the pecking order. I realize their late season collapse is bad, but their only "bad" loss is to PSU. There are teams in the top 10 with WAY WORSE losses on their Resumes.

Iowa loses @ Michigan and first round of the BTT ( I could see them falling to the 7-8 line).

Iowa wins @ Michigan and loses First round of the BTT (Iowa could be a 6-7 seed).

Iowa loses @ Michigan and gets 2 wins in BTT (they will probably still be around 6)

Iowa wins @ Michigan and gets 2 wins in the BTT (they will probably jump up to a 5)

If they get 3 wins in the BTT I could see them bumping up to a 4-5 range. And if they somehow win the whole damn thing, that would probably jump them to a 3-4 seed line.

Regardless the Michigan should be a W, but I am not counting on anything. This another team that is hampered with injuries, Iowa "should" be able to beat them. But as we have all seen it ain't happening for whatever reason.

Yep. Although teams that are deep with a great PG like IU has, I don't like our chances.
