No matter how you slice it, Iowa is going to have a tough road to NYC.

 

[AHS2001]

I also think Greensboro due to storyline will be our opening round opponent.

 

[Gabe Sifuentes]

I'll take the first projection. Seems the most manageable route to MSG in NYC.

 

[KuwaitHawk]

Get our feet wet in NYC this year to be there for next year's BTT

I like the second bracket. I'd rather have Utah or Texas Tech at home. Playing at Utah would be VERY tough.

I'd rather not play Utah Cal or BYU at all if possible. And Syracuse is a paper tiger.

At some point we'd have to play teams like that or of equal caliber. After all, I hope our goal would be to win the whole thing.

It looks like Iowa will get at least 2 games at home though! That's nice, hopefully they can win them.

This team can put together 4 good games which would at least get them to NYC again.

There are still some sites giving Iowa a .08% of making the dance. I think Cuse was a Zero last year and Tulsa was also a zero. So ya never know.

 

[LarryMullenJr.]

Syracuse seems like Indiana in that there's talent there, it just doesn't work well together very often.

I have no problem playing high caliber teams but would prefer not to face them in the first two rounds. Confidence is important for this team to gain momentum. I'd like to make it to MSG and perhaps even win the tournament.

Syracuse is going to the NCAA tournament.

 

[Gabe Sifuentes]

Syracuse is going to the NCAA tournament.

No they're not. Only Looney-ardi thinks so and he's probably on the take. Their RPI is on the 80s and their only good wins are at home. Illinois St will get the last 11 seed play in bid.

 

[83Hawk]

Iowa won't be a 1 seed.

 

[K OKeefe]

I'd rather not play Utah Cal or BYU at all if possible. And Syracuse is a paper tiger.

The road to the top is always going to have many challenges. It will be a good gauge as to where Iowa's experienced freshman are.

 

[Drmac22]

Iowa won't be a 1 seed.

Iowas #1 seed..

 

[terrehawk]

Iowa won't be a 1 seed.

Go back to the clown board

 

[83Hawk]

Iowas #1 seed..

A pleasant surprise!
