Lose Out, Still In The NCAA Tournament

No. I wouldn’t even be upset as it’s one step closer to getting Fran gone. With that said, please beat Nebraska.
Pretty much at a 9 seed right now.
Lose the last 2 and first round in BTT, We’d be in Dayton at best or NIT.
If we win at Nebbie and lose first round we will be in as a 10.

Easily in NCAA, and not Dayton. Grow up, folks.
Not so fast, Iowa net is falling and teams who are on the bubble are right around Iowa’s number. Also if we finish with 4 straight blow outs, the committee will notice.
The way Iowa has been playing the last month - who cares?
One and done. Who cares? It's obvious the team doesn't so why should we???
You do realize that it’s likely that 12 seeds are playing in Dayton this year. You have Iowa going from a 10 if we beat Nebraska to a 12 at best.
22-9 heading into BTT looks a lot better than 21-10 and 4 straight losses (3 by blow out).
If we finish 21-11 it’ll look bad and we shouldn’t be in. The last 8 games we’ve looked like dogsh!t and shouldn’t be in the tourny.
That’s your opinion. Let’s be glad that you aren’t on the committee.
They should turn down an invitation to the NCAA tourney out of respect for another team. I don’t think they should be in at this point. They are playing like hot, stinky garbage.
Would thoughst care?
I bet thousands upon thousands of people would echo his opinion.
Yeah if I'm on the selection committee I'm for sure looking at Iowa and thinking "yep, they're a lock." Bull. Sh*t. If the hawks don't stick it to Nebraska and go on to win a couple in the Big Ten Tourney, they shouldn't get an invite. You can't LIMP through the tail-end of the season and expect to get rewarded. I really cannot believe how poorly they've been playing basketball.
Limping through the tail end of the season isn't a factor other than hurting the overall record. The committee only goes off of the full season. And NET is only a partial factor just like RPI was before... Iowa will be in.
Yes. They are easily in. That doesn’t mean I think they deserve to be.
In = yes
Seed = 10? Not sure. Don't want to be 8/9 and probably won't be.
If they could play ISU it would at least guarantee that one of them would win. I highly doubt that either team will win a game.

Okay....here's just one example. It's Lunardi's Bracketology with his current 8-12 seeds.

If we lose our next '3' games then we'd definitely be in....
I was commenting towards those who don't think we should be in,... as in, "We are playing so bad right now that we could lose the next three and we would still completely deserve to have been invited to the dance"....
Well......they're not wrong.
I think?
Of course they are,... and they will be proven to be so...
Just so we're clear, I did make a post above illustrating why we're going to make the NCAA tournament.
We're not getting passed by all those other teams just from losing our next two games.
Sorry not sorry for anyone that can't deal with it.
Listening to a podcast on CBS sports and they said that this year could be some late week bid stealers. He went onto say this would be the year to reward the mid majors (OVC has 2) w/at large bids since the PAC 12 is down, Big East is down and Both Big12/10 teams are fading. Said there are a lot of good teams who should be in over some of the middle of the pack power 5 schools. Then they talked about conf records and how it’s unbalanced and i lost interest.
If Iowa goes 0-2 they will be a 10-11 seed at best. What would the fan perception be? Would anyone travel to the first round games? I wouldn’t even if they were in Des Moines.

I'm sure that Fran gave the players a thumbs up after reaching 21 wins, a 6th place finish in the BIG, and an NCAA invite that assured him of a bonus. As with all the other years Iowa faded after reaching mid to high AP ratings the players were probably told to ease off on their play as not to give the fan base undo expectations. Whatever was said it has worked to perfection.
