As I sit and ponder over Iowa's disappointing loss to lowly Nebraska, I began to think (I know.....it surprised me, too!).......
Right now it appears the Hawks are locked into the 8/9 seed and likely need a minimum of 2 wins in the BTT to get to a 7. Would it be possible for them to fall to a 10? Suppose Hawk fans could only choose one of the following scenarios:
1. Hawks win 1 or 2 games in the BTT and get the 8/9 seed in the NCAA.
2. Hawks lose first game in BTT and get a 10 seed.
Those are the only options in this scenario. I realize everyone wants Iowa to win the BTT and so do I. But for the sake of this "what if", let's just assume these are the only 2 choices given to Hawk fans.
Personally, I would choose losing the BTT game and getting a 10 seed in the NCAA as I feel there would be a much better chance of a Sweet 16 than at an 8/9.
Bonus question......
Would you take 1-2 wins in the BTT and first round loss in the NCAA? Or a first game loss in the BTT and 1 win in the NCAA (losing the second game)?
