NIT

So lock means you can't afford to lose any games you're supposed to?

Okay, got it...
 
I think we need 4/5 more wins to make the NIT. It's not good and not what we want but this team has some major deficiencies. Rebounding and not having secondary scorers to name a few.

Hope this will be enough to get to a top 3 seed in the NIT and maybe can win a few at home. I can't see us going too far as of right now.

Meh 0 interest in the NIT at this stage of the game but at this point it is highly likely that's their landing spot.
 
Penn State isn’t a good team, but Iowa isn’t either without an effective Keegan.
 
Yes I had them as a lock to beat Penn State. They are terrible. We have 0 quad 1 wins and had to beat them.
That's not at all what you said. You said they were a lock to get to the Big Dance.

Now you're saying they were a lock to get to the Big Dance but only if they beat PSU?

Is that what you're saying?

We have 2 quad one wins, Indiana (29) and Utah St. (49). But we just aren't very good. I was so excited to see Ulis, Perkins, Joe T. and their development. They must not have made the strides the coaching staff wanted to see. Bohannon is still out there despite his deficiencies.

Yes as I had them beating Penn State when I spewed that. I'm likely wrong now and ok with it. Anything else?
 
I had the Penn State series as a sweep when I said that. Your posting history and saying this gave me a much needed laugh. I....Was....Wrong....#Dumb****
Once again, and I do realize you are likely moving your lips while you're reading this. A loss on the road in the B1G conference in double OT doesn't mean that any given team, IA in this case, is a lock.

Think about it. Most people could probably get to that simple concept. I suspect you can't though.

I’m not throwing in the towel… yet. Making shots help a lot. It’s been a real struggle to shoot over 40% from the field in the last few weeks, and we’re due for some positive regression in that regard. Keegan Murray sitting two thirds of every first half is also something that can and will change. I’ve given up hope that rebounding will improve, however.

I like it. I'll be at 2 home games in February so I guess I'm not either but mentally accepting of it is likely we are toast.

At only the midway point it was ridiculous to say we were a lock last week and it's ridiculous to say we are relegated to the nit tonight. He's a drama queen, lets let the season play out. I think it could happen if Fran goes with the guys who deserve it but that is a pipe dream really
