Iowa Will Be

Ah......no! I think this Iowa team is overall better then last years team athletically, but they're still coached by Fran and he's never going to elevated their defense efficiency that would allow Iowa to finish at the top of the BIG. It's never going to happen.
 
A #2 seed in the NCAA tourney. Book it!

No. Still expecting them on the bubble to maybe just in. Around an 8-11 seed.

We beat a BAD Virginia team. Let’s hang on a bit here. A tournament invite, and avoiding the 8/9 seed would be nice.

That's not a bad UVA team. Just not what they've been for the last few years. It's still a solid Tourney team and it's a really good road win.
 
The Iowa basketball defense is akin to the Iowa football offense. If it would improve to average, we'd be an elite team.

Iowa basketball needs a Phi Parker. Iowa football offense needs a Fran.

They beat providence who beat Wisconsin and Northwestern both at a neutral site and on the road for the other. VA is always going to be strong under TB, it showed in the second half.

The OP is a troll but Virginia isn't a bad team. They will be in the NCAA tournament. Plus it was on the road.
Virginia will be bubble-ish. Currently 46 in the Pomeroy rankings. Based on the advanced metrics, currently predicted to go 16-14. That won't cut it for getting them in the tournament. But they could improve certainly, it's still early season.

Good win for Iowa against an opponent who is in the same ballpark that they are, likely fighting to get into the NCAA tournament come March.
