Currently ranked 3rd in the country and have been top 4 for several weeks. If we make it to the finals of the Big Ten tournament does Iowa get a number 1 seed?
When it's close, go with the JaMarcus Russell theory: if it looks more impressive, then it must be. They're taller and more athletic, plus it's Ohio State.I don't understand how OSU is seeded above us.
In conference, we've split the series. At their place we took them to OT but at our placd we win by 10. Advantage us.
Both of us have beaten IU at home, but Iowa's win is more impressive because IU was not at full strength when OSU beat them. (We also lost @ IU but you can't compare because OSU didn't have to play there.) Advantage us.
Both of us have one "bad" loss against Nebraska and Michigan. But Nebraska is around 30 in the NET and Michigan is around 50. Advantage us.
Out of conference, Iowa has ranked wins over Virginia Tech and KSU, with one loss to KSU. OSU has no ranked wins with losses to USC and UCLA. Advantage us.
Iowa is currently above OSU in the NET and has been all season. Advantage us.
Iowa season record 26-4. OSU is 25-4. Our SOS is #2 per Massey. OSU's is #6. Advantage us.
biggest difference would be their January and February were undefeated. And iowas unexpected lost is much more recent than Ohio States vs Michigan. (2/11 vs end of December) but you have good points.I don't understand how OSU is seeded above us.

Well I know what I would do if I were the Indiana coach. If it was not structural damage BUT it still leaves her with it hurting a bit, I would not play her in the BTT. You be better off going 0-1 or 1-1 in the BTT and having her ready for the NCAA tourney. With her past issues I would not risk it.Supposedly Indiana's big gal hurt her knee yesterday. If true, Indiana may not be beating anyone. They're a tough to understand team. Lights out at home, horrible on the road. A team like that usually flames out quickly come tournament time. I still think if Iowa and tosu meet for the BTT title they both get a #1 (unless we put another beatdown on them like we did in last year's title game)
This seeding deal works in Strange ways folks and I don’t personally completely understand it. Just remember one thing last year the game before the we went to the big ten tournament we beat Indiana on a Clark buzzer beater. Then we swept the Big Tournament with an impressive win over Ohio state . Indiana did not make it to the finals as they were eliminated in the semi’s. Indiana got the #1 seed. Like I said hard to figure out. It’s like they already have there mind made up when they do the final bracketing before season ends or conf tournaments.I don't understand how OSU is seeded above us.

Iowa has better wins than OSU but it also has worse losses. OSU has four losses and three of them are to top 7 teams and a bad loss to Michigan. Iowa has lost to OSU and three other teams that are outside the top ten, including a bad loss to Nebraska. I’d think whomever beats the other in the big ten tourney gets a one seed or whomever advances further in the conference tourney.I don't understand how OSU is seeded above us.

Win = #1 seed. Otherwise a 2Currently ranked 3rd in the country and have been top 4 for several weeks. If we make it to the finals of the Big Ten tournament does Iowa get a number 1 seed?
I believe Iowa and SC. Are the only two that have beaten every team on their scheduleI don't understand how OSU is seeded above us.

And her back up got hurt right after her and had to be helped off the court. They are basically the only two true post players. If they can't go, Indiana will be a hard team to prepare for for their first opponent, as you won't really know what to expect.Supposedly Indiana's big gal hurt her knee yesterday. If true, Indiana may not be beating anyone. They're a tough to understand team. Lights out at home, horrible on the road. A team like that usually flames out quickly come tournament time.

If they're playing Iowa in the semies, though, Moren's pride will force her to have all hands on deck so they don't lose their win back to Iowa...........Well I know what I would do if I were the Indiana coach. If it was not structural damage BUT it still leaves her with it hurting a bit, I would not play her in the BTT. You be better off going 0-1 or 1-1 in the BTT and having her ready for the NCAA tourney. With her past issues I would not risk it.
The highest 2 seed would be the 5th overall and would be on SC’s side.If we are a #2 seed we should be the highest one which should put us opposite of South Carolina. Is that right or is it more regional?

True, as long as they can sit in the bracket away from SC until the final 4.I don't think there is really all that much difference between being a 1 or a 2, IMO.
The one risk is they take injuries into seeding consideration.Well I know what I would do if I were the Indiana coach.

True IF the committee seeds by the exact seed (5,6,7,8) OR do the look at.....here are the number 2 seeds and where should they go? You would think some common sense would prevail. (I know...it's the NCAA). Right, wrong or indifferent, they will want the visibility and the women's basketball train to keep plowing ahead and the sure fire way to kill that would be to have a pre Final Four match-up of SC and Iowa and Iowa loses. The want/need the viewership that an Iowa Final Four would bring.The highest 2 seed would be the 5th overall and would be on SC’s side.
Kitley from Virginia Tech was hurt yesterday too.
I agree with most of this.Right now, I would have the 1 seeds look like this:
Albany 1 South Carolina
Portland 2 Stanford
Albany 3 Iowa
Portland 4 UCLA
Has anyone heard anything about Holmes leg injury at indiana???? Will she play Saturday against us?Gotta win the BTT IMO. Basically would be battling with OSU for the last spot.
I don’t care if they’re a 1 or 2… much prefer to be the overall 2,3,6,7 to get SC in the final if both survive and advanceThe 5th seed overall would not be on SC’s side. The 8th seed overall would be on track to face SC in the Elite 8. That’s where the “sides” “brackets” whatever end. In the final four yes the 4/5 overall would face SC the 1 overall but at that point you can’t rly complain bc you’re in the Final Four and you should be able to play your game.
That was my projection right now if they were doing Selection Sunday today.I agree with most of this.
However, the Stanford & UCLA is a challenge.
If UCLA beats USC but loses to Stanford, they will be questionable.
I don’t think they get #1 over Big12 champ Texas or SEC champ LSU.
They probably are ahead of tOSU as runner-up.
If UCLA or USC beats Stanford, Stanford is in better shape but still has to worry about Texas/LSU.
UCONN lost to Texas and UCLA, so not jumping them for last #1 even with chaos.
Serious question. Does playing in the same regional location as South Carolina mean they would be the matchup in the final four?All I know is winning the BTT should guarantee a 1 seed on the opposite side of the bracket as South Carolina and that seems infinitely superior to any other draw.
Puts a huge incentive on winning the BTT. Let's do this thing.

No idea, but looking at the bracketologists, it doesn't look like it.Serious question. Does playing in the same regional location as South Carolina mean they would be the matchup in the final four?
Will be a #1 seed if they win B1G tourney.Currently ranked 3rd in the country and have been top 4 for several weeks. If we make it to the finals of the Big Ten tournament does Iowa get a number 1 seed?
