Hear me out before you hammer me. Going 1-1 almost guarantees the 8/9 line. A loss to NW or Ill and Iowa probably falls to 10/11. I like our chances better at 10/11.
The Case For Losing Thursday
- Thread starter IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life
- Start date
Or, win at least two games and get the 7 line!
You aren't far off on your logic and regardless what we root for it is nearly 50/50 at this point they will lose their 1st game regardless with how they are trending.
Anything but Syracuse no matter what the seed ends up being. I’m so sooo sick of seeing Syracuse floating around down there - would they please just go away quietly.
I prefer the Hawks not lose the first BTT game. If they do they risk falling to the First Four game or even out of the NCAA tournament altogether.
No thanks. This team needs to get a win. I don't care about some hypothetical Sweet 16 run.
Losing in the 1st round of the B10 and then a first round loss would be devastating.

That's actually not true. The last 4 at-large teams play play for two spots. The seed is not predetermined. Traditionally speaking around #11 is where that line falls, but it all depends on bid stealers during conference championship week.
The year Iowa played in Dayton it was 2 11’s and 2 12’s. I know there were 13’s one year.
Ok, CBS Bracketology has two 11seeds playing in the first 4 In..
Looks like he has 2 11’s and 2 12’s. St Mary’s winning likely put them on that 12 line which bumped up one of the play in games
