I think that all happens

 

[HiawathaHawk]

Nebrantska up 12 vs. MSU. If they hold on, would make them 7-1 in their last 8. Crazy

quad 0 win!!

Pretty sure it would make them 6-1 in their last 7. Their home-road splits are Iowaish.

You’re right. They did win at Rutgers though, even if they caught them at the perfect time.

MSU is also threatening to pull away here, which I like.

 

[Billy Butters]

I think this MSU team can make a run in the tourney. They have three 40%+ 3-point shooters in their lineup and they all seem to be playing well.

Post Indiana game

Post Indiana game

69% chance for a top 3 seed? Nice!

USC, OU, Seton Hall, Iowa in new hoops tourney

The Rady Children's Invitational will be played Nov. 23-24 at UC San Diego's Lion Tree Arena and feature an inaugural field of USC, Oklahoma, Seton Hall and Iowa.

[Hawk&Balls]

The idea for the hoops tourney came about after the Holiday Bowl promoted a football game between Notre Dame and Navy in San Diego in 2018.





No shit

The idea for the hoops tourney came about after watching holiday hoops tourneys for 100 years.

Does Michigan need to lose at least one?

 

[Creed]

Fran is a goddamn wizard.

 

[HawkBall23]

Does Michigan need to lose at least one?

Yes, but seeing as they have two road games @ Illinois and Indiana, I like the chances of Michigan going at best 1-1 this week - if not 0-2.

 

[CamelTones]

And Jett Howard is injured.

 

[KitKatApples]

HooooWoooooooohhhhhhh

 

[6deuce]

And Jett Howard is injured.

Jett is such a gay fucking name.

 

[ivan_drago]

Okay - if Iowa wins Sunday and gets a double bye and wins the quarters and semis, they’re getting a 5 seed. Seems fucking inconceivable.

 

[Fletch]

Okay - if Iowa wins Sunday and gets a double bye and wins the quarters and semis, they’re getting a 5 seed. Seems fucking inconceivable.

That seems like a massive jump. Before last night’s game they were the last 8 seed.

 

[6deuce]

I don't see it happening. Last year with the same record and winning the BTT only got them to a 6, but I guess everyone is shittier this year. PROVE ME WRONG JAMIE!!!!!

 

[Verbal]

I don't see it happening. Last year with the same record and winning the BTT only got them to a 6, but I guess everyone is shittier this year. PROVE ME WRONG JAMIE!!!!!

Iowa was a 5 last year.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Iowa was a 5 last year.

Nice work, but I didn’t know you were a Jamie.

 

[ivan_drago]

Okay, I’ll prove you wrong - Iowa was a 5 last year.

 

[ivan_drago]

They’re on everyone’s 7 line right now. They’re gonna end a low 5 high 6 if they win 3 more.

FUCK!

 

[Fletch]

Who has them as a 7? Bracket Project has them as last 8 ( don’t think includes last night’s games)

 

[ivan_drago]

Bracket Wag

 

[Fletch]

Bracket Wag

That’s one person. Bracket Project is a consensus of about 100 of these geeks.

 

[KitKatApples]

Well I guess you're just better than everyone

 

[Shpadoinkle]

Saucy T is the

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Some of that is because Murray is awesome, and Rebraca has made himself into a consistently good big ten player.

Saucy Key

 

[HawkBall23]

Just do one last thing, beat Nebrantska in Carver, and Iowa doesn't start competing in the BTT until a week from tomorrow night.

After losing to EIU & the 0-3 start to the conference season - and all 3 of those losses coming against teams that will either start play on BTT Wednesday or finish just above those spots in the standings - the season outlook was looking really fucking bleak. And then they turn it around to go 12-5 and end up the 2 or 3-seed in the BTT.

Amazing and Frantastic!

 

[kenos]

Frantastic!

He has plenty of flaws, but Fran's the best of the post-Lute coaches. I'm fine with him coaching through Jack's senior year.

 

[CamelTones]

Yes please.

 

[CurdMan]

Why would the committee give Iowa the advantage of playing in Des Moines against a better seed? Apparently that’s possible but it doesn’t seem like something that would actually happen.

 

[BBK]

Lunardi also has us as a 7 playing Boise State

Palm has us as a 7 playing USC

 

[KitKatApples]

I’ll take Boise st please

 

[Hawkstrat]

These guys have the NLP dream scenario.

 

[UnKnOwN_SeRb]

Tony P would be the key.

One billion percent want to play Kansas state in the round of 32

One billion percent want to play Kansas state in the round of 32

Especially if it means getting placed in Des Moines.

 

[CamelTones]

Iowa went 2-5 against the bottom four teams in the conference.

 

[KitKatApples]

Frantastic

 

[douglasbader]

Iowa went 2-5 against the bottom four teams in the conference.

It's been an extremely weird season. Get smoked by Nebrantska in Lincoln and embarrassed by them on Senior Day at home.

I think 1 or 2 games removed from those, Iowa somehow crushes Indiana twice.
