If they can get a bid, the barometer is still at whether they can advance.
March 14 Joe Lunardi / ESPN Bracketology: IOWA is on the Bubble (7th Team OUT). #59 NET Ranking (8th Best in B1G) on March 14
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Hawks now 6th in B1G after the MSU loss today. We also have the tie breaker over MSU and Minny behind us. Huge difference between 6 and 7 seed in B1G tourney.
Or Indiana on the road
Or Maryland at home
Or Maryland on the road
Or Penn St. on the road
And the women need back
Home vs Kansas St.
Road vs Ohio St.
Road vs Nebraska
All 7 of these games, Iowa had a lead in by multiple possessions under 10 min to go in the 2nd half... I believe.
Here are today's NET Rankings.
#57 NET Iowa (18-12) is now 3-8 in Quad 1 games.

If we beat Illinois, MSU loses to NW and Wisky loses to Purdue, we are the 5th seed in the BTT
Doesn’t have our win calculated yet, we would be green if it did. I imagine we moved up to first 4 outStill the 7th team OUT
Looking at above further Virginia got smoked by 30, TCU lost, New Mexico had a bad loss, Kansas St lost, Seton Hall plays UConn today and Iowa owns Head to Head.
Utah, Colorado and Oregon all play each other next week so one of these teams is likely getting in.
Beat Illinois we are most likely in. Lose to Illinois we have to win at least 2 in BTT.
Right there, keep playing good ball.
I'm seeing Cincinnati moving up as in play now which is strange. It also appears the Pitino effect will work with St.Johns getting in. Need them to really drop one of these last quad four games.
It's feels like its been a while since we've been on the bubble. Watching conference tournaments is a lot less fun when you're rooting for the favorites. I was looking into what conferences might have bid stealers and I think we're gonna be watching the AAC, A10, and maybe Pac 12 tournaments pretty closely soon.
Then again with the way this team is playing I wouldn't be shocked to see us make a run in the big ten tournament either.

i could see us winning a couple games in the BTT for sure
I just want to get in so we can win @EvilMonkeyInTheCloset a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!
I still think it’s win next weekend and make the cut or add three wins in the big ten tournament.
Illinois has a lot of talent and they don’t mess around on defense.

I agree that they don't mess around with defense, since they've given up 80+ pts in 8 of their last 11 B10 games, including 6 of the last 7.
Very much like the Hawks in that matter. The Total might be at 185 for Saturdays game.
Sorry sometimes you just gotta test everyone else’s knowledge by saying something wrong 😂.
They’re the highest scoring team in the big ten. So pace of game is going to allow scoring opportunities for their opponents.
Thanks for getting statement corrected
I'd argue that if Nebraska were to lose to Rutgers, Michigan, and the conference tournament they'd definitely be out which could help Iowa be in.
Would be nice for Minny to creep up a couple of NET spots to add a Tier 1 win. Beat Illannoy and the Hawks will be in the dance and be much better positioned in the BTT.
Amazing how Wisky and MSU have gone into the toilet, just the opposite of the direction the little Troll usually takes Sparty. Hate them both. I thought the past emphasis on the last 10 games when figuring out dance invites made sense, but now you seem to be able to tank without it killing your positioning.

The one benefit Iowa has over Nebraska - their SOS is an absmal 300 range. But mostly (besides beating Illinois, and at least 2 more in the B1G tournament wb nice) we need Villinova, Wake Forest, New Mexico, Providence, St Johns, Colorado to lose out to help. And no bid thieves, please.
Next Sunday, March 10, is gonna be crazy.
Pretty sure the students will show up for Illinois at Iowa ....
Senior Day.
Gold Out.
6pm CT Tip.
Fighting for our NCAA Tournament lives.
