Iowa WBB 2024-2025 Season Thread

Today's Game Computer Model's Summary:
Iowa with a 56% - 67% chance to lose from 4 percentage model(s).
Iowa losing by 2 - 5 point(s) from 4 spread model(s).
Avg Team Rank is #20 Iowa vs #12 Oklahoma from 7 ranking models.

Shut down Beers and Verhulst and the game is ours.
We move on to the Sweet 16 according to Torvik's ranking trendline.
Overall Season says Iowa +2.
However, the last half and more specifically the end of season ranks say Iowa -2.

Now for the good news on how we become a spread of Iowa -2 for today's game.
This grid is the weekly rankings from Bart Torvik starting from mid-season to the start of March Madness.
We rank higher than Oklahoma in 8 of the last 9 weeks of the season. The one exception is on Feb 12th.
You can see the end of season rankings on Feb 26, Mar 5 and Mar 12 that the rankings gap collectively gets larger between Iowa & Oklahoma. Notice Oklahoma is sliding backwards during the last 3 weeks from #15 to #18 to #19.
The end of season trendline is in our favor to take us from Iowa +2 and reverse it to Iowa -2.
Should also point out that Torvik has us now ranked at #16 overall after our last win on Saturday.

Iowa had a good year, but it ended with a thud today. Hopefully it was a one off because next year will be tougher.

Found this article from a couple of months ago. Talked about the #22s that played for Iowa, including Mary Berdo. She is now an athletics administrator at Yale.
