Iowa needs 6 more wins. 10-10 in conference virtually assures them a tourney bid.
Any bored ‘board experts’ in the NET rankings?
Who can explain Liberty’s ranking? I glanced at their schedule to see if they did well in a tough non-conf. So many times when you play a poor team at home you go down in the NET rankings. They play horrible every game at quick glance and they always seem to hold tough.
Would be interesting to see their quad breakdown. I’m sure it out there, but I’m not smart.

I've got it...
Liberty:
Road Record: 4-1 (this is very good)
Q1: 0-1 (Q1A 0-1)
Q2: 1-0 (Q2A 1-0)
Q3: 4-0
Q4: 12-0
I'd say it's their overall record boosting their NET. Any losses along the way will ding them significantly, and their improvement is capped by lack of quality opponents left. If they run the table, they likely can get in at-large, but a loss or two along the way and they'll need to win the auto bid.

6 more wins is the minimum. I don't think any of us would be upset if they exceeded that.hope you are right. but a 6-7 finish to the reg season would kinda suck
the melt downs, however, after EVERY loss get tiresome. Look at the DePaul & Nebby games, as 2 examples. And then the road loss at Michigan. But then we settle down when we see all road teams in the B1G losing. But then we soon are back to Fran can't this, Fran can't that.6 more wins is the minimum. I don't think any of us would be upset if they exceeded that.
in sports, every team (except the 1970 something Dolphins) are going to experience a loss during the reg season and only 1 team in the end ends with a win; I wish our fan base would understand that
6 more wins is the minimum. I don't think any of us would be upset if they exceeded that.
Protecting the home court would give us seven more wins,... then perhaps sneak one or two road wins to help the cause...
Those 6 road games are going to be brutal, especially this year when all the home teams in the B1G are winning. The Neb loss hopefully won't come back to haunt us.

Honestly, I think the bottom 3 listed road games are all doable... I would have added Purdue, but they're so much better at home than on the road, just not sure exactly how we match up. If they have one of their abominable offensive nights, we can run them out of their own gym, but if they're even average, that crowd gets behind them and really fuels their defense.
Are those current NET rankings? Cause I see #18 Rutgers, #19 Ohio St, #22 Wisc, #35 Penn St. etc...
Not that it makes a huge difference, but with wins over Maryland (#15) and Mich (#29) I'm starting to think the Hawks have a reasonable chance of going undefeated at home. Rutgers looks to be the toughest opponent , so if they can win tomorrow...
Those rankings I listed were from just 3 days ago, Jan 18 (after Jan 17's games)
There's just a lot of bouncing around from day to day.
It's crazy how the B1G has 12 teams in the Top 50.
The ACC? 5
The Big 12? 5
The Big East? 5
The PAC 12? 6
The SEC? 6

I will say 7-6 to end up 11-9 in conference. 6-1 at home and 1-5 on the road. My heart tells me will be even better than that but my head is saying the conference is so tough - tougher than any other in country - and with potential injury issues and getting worn down playing a factor.
ISU shockingly back to a Quad 1 win. Makes me question the legitimacy of this Quad ranking system.
Even most ISU fans would now tell you they are terrible.

I just pulled together my latest scrub with everything except the update NET and I've got us as the last 3. I seem to be higher on the hawks than most, but I'm hoping that's due to not getting a ton of national attention.
Tied for 2nd most Q1 wins should have us as the best seed in a pod... whether that's a 3 or 4, no more of this 5-7 crap. Take care of Wisconsin and kill all doubts.

I’ll be curious to see what the NET has us for now. It seems the only ways to move up much at this point in the season is beating much higher ranked teams or similarly rated teams on the road only.
Pretty big disparity between NET and KenPom and can’t really figure out why since NET has an analytics component to it.

I've wondered this to. Sagarin, KenPom, etc. have us in the teens, but NET is sitting pretty high at 27. The only thing I can think of is that KenPom and Sagarin use adjusted efficiency, I don't know if the NET does or if it uses raw efficiency.
If you look at the difference between our KenPom SOS and what the NET shows... it's crazy.

If you go by what the committee did last year a 22 NET would put Iowa anywhere from a 4 seed to a 7 seed. Add in the quad 1 and 2 totals and it looks more like a 5-6 seed but wait... that’s counting the total number of last years wins by teams.. basically if it were to play out like last year 18 wins would get Iowa a tournament birth. If they get to 20 their seed would likely not be any lower than a 7 with how how the Big 10 is currently ranked in the NET. 20 wins would also mean 5 more quad 1 and 2 wins. Similar resumes to that last year were 4-6 seeds for the NCAA tournament. Only thing is this stupid SOR Iowa has that makes no sense.
Another thing to keep an eye on is that the committee seemed to use the NET less after the top 4 seed lines.

I heard Dave Revsine say last night that we had 6 Quad-1 wins. Anyone else hear that?
We did for about 10 hours until Michigan dropped to a quad 2 win.
Quad wins and losses are very fluid.
One example:
On Jan 18, Michigan was #29, which was barely a Quad 1 win for Iowa.
Today, 5 days later, they are #37, which puts them at a Quad 2 win.
There is going to be a lot of movement until Selection Sunday. If Michigan gets their act together, they should get back to a Quad 1 win.
Iowa moves up to 4th best in the B1G.
12 B1G teams are in the Top 46.

because NET considers whether or not you actually won or lost the games. KenPom does not.
How did Rutgers only lose about 2 spots after losing to Iowa? And they are still higher. That Nebraska loss is absolutely pitiful. Iowa would prob be around #12 if that hadn't happened.
LOL, I am good with that EDIT, agree for so many reasons. Reason #1 **** WISCONSIN
We have to pick up a road win to offset it for sure... @Purdue looks like a prime candidate.
Today Wisconsin is #30. To be a Quad 1 win (hopefully) for Iowa, they have to stay in the top 30.
So, the movement of wins & losses between quads is going to likely continue up until Selection Sunday.

I'll be honest, I've overly watched how NET rankings impact our profile, but after the Rutgers win, I've moved my focus to how we can earn a double bye.
Edit: That is to say, beat the Badgers, quads be damned.
