**2018-2019 Iowa Hawkeyes Basketball Season Thread**

[WCFHawkeye]

Thanks to Michigan beating Maryland, @ MD, Iowa is still right there in the running for the 5 seed in the BTT - even the 4, if somehow win out in Madison and Lincoln - after this past shit-tastic week.

Oops. Maybe pump the breaks. Using the conference tournament generator, even if Wisconsin loses to Iowa and @ OSU, Maryland loses at home to Minnesota and Iowa wins @ WIS and Nebrantska so that all 3 teams finish up 12-8; Iowa loses the tiebreakers and ends up 6th.

So, looks like Iowa is pretty much locked into this spot. If they lose out and OSU wins out, still 6th. If both finish 10-10, Hawks would have tiebreaker of record vs Michigan.

Disregard the idiocy of the last post. Iowa pretty much sealed their landing spot (BTT-wise) by not showing up yesterday.

EDIT: Root hard against Minnesota this week. If by some chance that they win their final 2, OSU wins out, and Hawks lose out... Iowa ends up the 8-seed by losing tiebreakers between a 3-team tie of IA-MIN-OSU. Iowa would be the 7 if they end up tied with Minny.

If Iowa wins out (1 of their 2 wins would be against Wisconsin) and Wisconsin loses out (to Iowa and Ohio State), then Iowa gets the 5 seed if Maryland beats Minnesota.

What joy do you get out of posting something so stupid over and over?

OMG - Iowa fans are so dumb! They're ruining this season. Fran's going to Georgia Tech and I wouldn't blame him one bit.

Meanwhile, the Howe Tweet got 88 likes and was re-tweeted 9x.

If someone offered me a Final Four run in basketball this year, but the tradeoff was the permanent disbandment of the wrestling program, I would do it.

I told a buddy that as a Cub fan, I would give back the 2016 World Series for a Final Four run and he thought it was nuts. I stand by it 100%.

That's a bridge too far, IMO. You actually like the Cubs. I think wrestling is dumb.

I like the Hawkeyes way more than the Cubs. A family trip to the Final Four beats the joy of the World Series win.

Iowa fan and his loser mentality. Couldn't even hope to win a championship. "Just to get to the final four, I'll feel like a total winner"

A Final Four appearance is a victory. And it would entail a regional championship.

I mean, we all just celebrated an Outback Bowl victory a few months ago and a Pinstripe Bowl victory about a year before that.

Luckily that's a pretty short list.

I'd trade the wrestling program for a "free Bloomin' Onion with purchase of two regular-priced entrees" coupon.

What do we deem successful?

Iowa wrestling won the B10 and NCAA in 2010.

One conference championship and zero NCAA championships since.

[mac50702]

I'm sorry, guys. As you can tell, I'm very passionate about wrestling. With Barta and Brands at the helm, I don't see Iowa winning another championship anytime soon. So, put me out of my misery and disband wrestling or Iowa wins a national title in any sport not wrestling.

Probably true. I would just like to get to the point of going to the tourney 3 out of 4 years for awhile.

 

[L. Wade Childress]

Why settle for a natty? Shouldnt a world championship be the goal of non-losers?

Actually, fuck that. A GALAXY championship!!!

Psh, I'm not scared of that angry little hobbit, I'll give him the Stone Cold Stunner.

I have not actually watched even a second of Iowa wrestling in my life, I just assume we should fire the coach any time we go more than three years without a title. What's the point of having a team if I can't go full Alabama football fan about them?

 

[Geese]

 

[TurdBurgler]

This would be the most likely scenario. The 6 seed here is a good draw for the Hawks IMO.

 

[Dr. Zaius]

I want the 5

 

[Mo T]

I want the 5

I don't want anything to do with Rutgers.

Teams with bigs are a no go.

I want the 6”

Makes sense an expert would recognize that

Grow up.

[Creed]

A 2nd round matchup versus Bbk’s Illini would be pretty telling about whether this team has the testicular fortitude to compete (and win) in the postseason.
