KenPom ranks Iowa #71 in the country

Knocking on the door. It is going to be hard playing the what if game with the losses to UNO, Maryland, Nebraska and Minny. Two of those and we would be on the inside.
 
I look at the tourney teams we have beaten. Beat Purdue, Maryland, Michigan, Iowa State. Not saying that alone should get us in but if we finish out the season 2-0 and win 2 in BTT tourney we are at 20 wins Having beaten all the top 3 in the Big ten. Should at least get the committees attention.
 
Obviously if we play like we did last nite, about as well as we can BTW, we can beat almost anyone, anywhere. The problem is we have not always played like that and it's going to come back and bite us. Learning experience for the young guys, you must play hard and determined every time you step on the court or you can get beat by anyone, anywhere.

Don't forget about our 2nd worst loss (after UNO) of the season....home against IL. We had no business losing that game even as poorly as we played.
