Last chance for a signature win..

I see what you’re saying. Committee doesn’t take any media poll into consideration when stack ranking teams. It’s solely done off their net profile. Warren Nolan is a great website to visit to see what they take into consideration. I agree they somewhat start there with pre season expectations but ultimately it comes down to metrics that are not based on polls.
Agree 100%. I just can't shake the feeling that Iowa's metrics are a bit inflated based on their actual wins and losses.

Smh. You are dense. Thank you for re-affirming you have reading comprehension issues. It'll save me time in the future.
You just keep doubling down.....
“maybe they could sneak into a 2 seed” Must be difficult for you to understand, I guess. He clearly mentions a 2 seed as a possibility. The fact you continue to ignore that is.....not very bright.

Seriously, what do you care? He has a different opinion than you. BIG FRICKIN’ DEAL! This is why you are such an a**. You are incapable of respecting the opinions of others. Maybe he’s right, maybe he’s wrong. So what?

You COULD just disagree in a polite manner.....but you choose the childish path. You spend too much time on the off topic board and have forgotten how to act like an adult.

Most people currently have them on the 3 line and bracket matrix has them as the top 3 seed through yesterdays game. Villanova was a 2 and just lost to a Butler team that is 9-13. So as it stands, it's not out of line to say they are currently a 2 seed. I think basically he's just bringing facts to this pissing match.

I don’t disagree with that at all.

I should do that.....it would guarantee an undefeated season and national championship for the Hawks. Such a small price to pay....

Lol. Wow. I don't know where to begin. You accusing anyone of being an ass, let alone arrogant, is rich. It's called self awareness. Something you clearly lack, as you are just as conceited in your opinions as anyone else on here. You, as well, are a total dick. I don't care, it doesn't bother me one bit, but it might serve you well to take a look in the mirror before you start calling the kettle black.

Last, I clearly and unambiguously said in my response the guy offered the possibility of Iowa getting a 2 seed (something that should have been intelligible to anyone with 6th grade level reading comprehension). The distinction, which again required basic reading comprehension to ascertain, is that the guy claimed the only chance Iowa had of getting a 2 seed was to win out AND have a bunch of Top 10 teams tank. And that's what I pointed out was ridiculous.

I get it. Reading is hard. Oh, and lol at you telling anyone to act like an adult. Again, self awareness.
 
Iowa does not even remotely look like a team deserving of a 2 seed, even if they beat Ohio State today. And this is not the last chance for a signature win. The B1G tournament would have more chances for that. But as history has shown time and time again, the seed line is often set ahead of this. The official preview had Iowa on the 4 line.

What ... The.. ****... have we then done since then, to move up to a 2????

Beat Wisky??? REALLY????

WOW nobody has done that this year!!!!!!

If we can figure things out between now and the B1G tournament, then perhaps they would be a 3. I can just see it now, selection Sunday and everyone expecting a 2 seed ... 3 seed.

And, there it is. Usually much lower than all the unrealistic expectations.

4. If we win out, and get to the B1G championship game.

5. If they win out, but do the usual thing in the B1G tournament game I.E lose to Penn State.

Your seeing someone incapable of respecting the opinions of others? Can't agree to disagree in a polite manner? You're surprised? C'mon, man! This is the '20's. You could just get canceled....

You’re right. I finally put him on ignore. Maybe if he ever grows up, or learns to read, I’ll reinstate him. But right now, he brings nothing to any discussion.

Look in just about any direction today. Respectful agenda-free debate, agreeing to disagree, and shaking hands like adults are relics from another time.

Right now how would we not be the top 3? I kind of looked around at prediction and a 3 seems the general consensus, with some disagreement, e.g. Kenpom has Iowa at 5 up to the minute. We gained ground this week since the double digit road win against tOSU will help more than the loss at Michigan-a solid Regional 1st seed.

The Villanova loss to a team with a losing record has to hurt them in every significant metric. I'm thinking Iowa placed some solidity on top 3. Hold the homecourt against a terrible Nebraska team is a must and most likely to happen. That game with Bucky is going to be tough. The Hawks did not shoot a free throw in the second half today. Cannot imagine friendly officiating in that game. But, Iowa is good enough to overcome all but the most dishonest of officiating. Win both and we're quite possibly on the two line. Win a BTT game and I think we're a solid 2.
 
Iowa will not, and does not even remotely deserve a 2 seed, no matter the result of this game or the rest of the season.

If Iowa were to win out AND, win the B1G tournament, AND, beat Michigan and or Illinois in the process, then maybe a 3 seed. Then, if other good teams with decent wins were to falter in the end, maybe they could sneak into a 2 seed. But even then, more likely a 3 is the ceiling at this point.
I’ll bet you are fun at parties. Not.

You are entitled to express your opinion, and without personal attack.

However, you do realize that your opinion is an outlier don't you? Even ESPN had Iowa as a 3, BEFORE the road win at tOSU-and Lunardi is never kind to Iowa. CBS after the tOSU win has Iowa on the 2 line. KenPom has Iowa as the highest ranked 2. Bleacher Report has Iowa as a two. Those predictions are just the first four I found after a search, I'm sure there are more but I haven't seen any up to date predictions that has Iowa lower than a 3.

Edit, forgot BPI, which has Iowa at 5, like KenPom. The AP has Iowa at 5 and the coaches have Iowa at 8. I know they claim not to use the other polls but I'm guessing they don't completely ignore them either.

Stupid pollsters. They have Iowa at #5. They obviously didn't read any of your posts.

@EvilMonkeyInTheCloset Bad monkey go back to your closet. Heh.

Would love to see Iowa get a 2 seed.

But if they lose to Wisconsin (or Penn State, or Nebraska), on Friday. I could see us in as a 3.

One thing working to our favor being Villanova's bad luck as of late.

And, with Creighton also having some weirdness, Uconn could be the favorite in that conference tourney. But, even if Uconn wins it, I don't think they can climb that high.

Alabama, and West Virginia also factor in. Would be great if they lose their first games in their tournaments.

Iowa just needs to pound some skank Badgers again, if needed.

You ****ing idiot.

This was posted right after Iowa lost to Michigan.

What the **** does this have to do with reality now.

I've posted many other times the same "probably a 2 seed" or at worst "3 seed" as most others have guessed.

So you read up on an old post, before even the Ohio State game took place, and use that as a reference for today?

Actually I would not be surprised to see Iowa come in as a 3 seed. The committee does not base their seeds on bracketologist guess work. I would say 2, but not surprised a 3.

That better?

Sorry you feel the need to base your life on out of date information.

Don't bother following up, I already can't see you. ****ing pathetic.

Nah I will bother following up because your take was just that stupid.

"Iowa would need to win out including the BTT to be remotely considered for a 2."

Yeah you tried walking that back since after reality set in from your deranged meltdown.

Now you're melting down because I bumped your previous asinine comments for all to see again.

The best part is all I did was bump your own post and said we'll see you for a recap. Just shows how even now you acknowledge how foolish you were.
