Iowa under-seeded again...

Well don't get worked by Rutgers and then choke against Nebraska and the seed will be more accurate.
Can't stumble into the tourney every year and cry about the seed
Then TN and Cincinnati were over-seeded.
You can't have it both ways. Either Iowa is that good or they aren't. But for call or bounce here or there Iowa wins that game.
Seed is body of work in the season. These are individual games vs CIN and TENN. Close, so close.
I thought 10 was a touch low but we were punished for our 300+ NCOS. Shit happens.
that is some terrible logic on display here.
Or maybe the B1G was just better top to bottom than any other league in the country?
Are you talking about first or second half? Are you talking about Tennesse game or Rutgers game?
Haha geez we beat Michigan we should be a 2 seed.
Seeding is based on overall season. That late season collapse didn't help

If Barnes and his team didn't fall asleep because they were 25 points ahead in the first half, Iowa gets beat by 30.
An under seeded team doesn't get completely outclassed like that for an entire half. Period.
Tennessee knew they would win and coasted.
Bad idea. And one of the reasons Barnes was fired at Texas.
So if they had been the 8 or 9, they would have gotten Washington. That would have been a winnable game but no guarantee. If they beat them, they would have been rewarded with the honor of playing Carolina. That would have been Waaaay better than the Vols. If they had been the 7, they would have still gotten Tenn in the second round. There was no way in hell they we're getting anything higher than an 8. I would prefer the ten over the eight every time.
Or Iowa came out in the 2nd half, punched them right in the face, and the Vols didn’t know how to respond.
Anyone else confused why the committee put Minny & MSU in the Same place? Why not move a 8-9 down to 10 and move either Iowa or Minny up? They could of put Baylor in Des Moines and put Minny out West in the 8/9 game?
Just seems odd to have two conference opponents play in the second round. Any other conferences have that happen?

The committee took the whole keeping teams close to their geographic region way too literally after the Top 16 were placed. Minnesota could have been flipped with SH and Nevada with Cincinnati. They prefer not move teams up or down a seed if possible although they will do it out of necessity if they are out of options.
Didn’t know how to respond except for winning the game and advancing, you mean?
Just seemed fishy to me. I get it keeping teams close, but no way should a 7-10 Seed be playing an hour from their campus. I dont care, it’s the NCAA tournament for a reason. If they don’t like it, start doing like the women do it and let the higher seed host for Christ sakes.
I get keeping 1-4 seeds close to home that’s okay cause they earned it. But nothing outside of that, should of moved teams around to fit the mold and keep conference opponents from each other until sweet 16.
I agree. I mean, look at Va Tech and KSU. They were flung out to San Jose because those were the closest locations left but we can’t inconvenince the teams I mentioned who were 7 and 10 seeds respectively? It’s goofy.
No proof here but I think the committee likes drama. Example Duke /UCF.....Dawkins coached under Coach K. Iowa/Cincinnati ...Iowa learned Defense this summer at Cincinnati. Louisville/Minnesota.....Pitino/Son of past coach Rick Pitino. The list can go on and on! Thoughts???
For sure. The Iowa/Cincy thing is probably a reach but they definitely look for appealing matchups when they’re available to them.
I’m the guy who knows the difference between winning and losing. You’re apparently the other guy — the guy who gets all warm and fuzzy when the team tries hard.
What a comeback, man!!!
People outside of Iowa city will be talking about it for....
Oh ... they forgot about it yesterday afternoon.
Do you realize how many crappy teams lose close games? Does that make them under rated?
Iowa is no crappy team, but that 20 minutes of play in the 2nd half didn't make their season any where close to what TN did this year.
