Win and get the double bye.
Only if Ohio State beats Illinois first. Otherwise 5th is the best to be had, more likely 6th.Win and get the double bye.
No shit??Only if Ohio State beats Illinois first. Otherwise 5th is the best to be had more likely 6th.
Wait a gosh darn second. I have zero chance of dunking.Azmess has a better chance of dunking a basketball than Joe W has of beating those scary Brown people Sunday
Lol, I guess this is going to be your new thing since the "Toussaint is great and Fran isn't playing him enough" thing blew up in your face the other night.Azmess has a better chance of dunking a basketball than Joe W has of beating those scary Brown people Sunday
He should play more imo. Never claimed he was greatLol, I guess this is going to be your new thing since the "Toussaint is great and Fran isn't playing him enough" thing blew up in your face the other night.
Wisconsin got an incredibly lucky schedule. Only played the top 5 teams (other than themselves) once. They will play the bottom 5 teams 9 times.I'm amazed we are still in play for a double bye.
The craziest thing of all is if all 3 of Maryland, MSU, and Wisconsin win their final game, Wisconsin will be the #1 overall seed. They were 5-5 10 weeks ago and many of us left them for dead.
Iowa has lost four games to those bottom 5 teams.Wisconsin got an incredibly lucky schedule. Only played the top 5 teams (other than themselves) once. They will play the bottom 5 teams 9 times.
Which means nothing when it comes to Wisconsin having an easy Big Ten schedule, especially down the stretch.Iowa has lost three games to those bottom 5 teams.
Iowa’s conference schedule is ranked 13th on Kenpom. Wisconsin’s is 10th.Wisconsin got an incredibly lucky schedule. Only played the top 5 teams (other than themselves) once. They will play the bottom 5 teams 9 times.
I agree. But bitching about Wisconsin's schedule is pretty stupid and irrelevant.Nebrantska is the only terrible one

Wisconsin bball and football, Brad Davison, so many punchable Badger faces, all of it.....God I hate everything about them

First thing that pops into my head were those games at the end of the season in 2017 where we went on a run where we had to win almost every game to make the NCAA tournament.Is this now the biggest regular season game in the Fran era?
Iowa's biggest regular season game since 2006?
I looked through Fran's seasons. This has to be the biggest regular season game. Iowa has finished higher in the Big Ten but never had the double bye in play like this.First thing that pops into my head were those games at the end of the season in 2017 where we went on a run where we had to win almost every game to make the NCAA tournament.
We did, but then laid a turd in the BTT.
Lol.Luka playing 4-5 games in one week has me v afraid Doug
WRONG!!! 3+2=5! This team is getting us back to the S16 boysLol.
You realize that if Iowa beats Illinois and they go on a run in the BTT the max they play is 3 games, right?
Yep. Luka is going to kick so much Illini ass it will make AJ Epenesa blush.Well, since we're the Hawkeyes, we all know what is going to happen, right?
I think the stakes are bigger than just the double bye. Iowa is trending towards a 6 or 7 seed if they lose this and the first game of the BTT.I wouldn't call this the biggest Fran game ever. The stakes are to get two byes instead of one in the BTT. We are still going to the NCAA tourney no matter what. Minimal stakes at play here. BBK was right earlier.
Tip at 6:00, so I'd guess we'll know by about 6:10 what kind of night it's going to be.Well, since we're the Hawkeyes, we all know what is going to happen, right?
Even if they lost to the Illini and the first round of the BTT, I can't see them dropping to a 7 seed. This whole thing is going to decide if Iowa is a 5 or 6 seed. Or a 4 if they make it to the BTT finals.I think the stakes are bigger than just the double bye. Iowa is trending towards a 6 or 7 seed if they lose this and the first game of the BTT.
If they win this game, get the double bye and maybe win a game in the BTT they are solidly in the 5 seed range or better.
They would likely drop into the 40's in the NET and in the 30's on KenPom. 20-12 overall.Even if they lost to the Illini and the first round of the BTT, I can't see them dropping to a 7 seed. This whole thing is going to decide if Iowa is a 5 or 6 seed. Or a 4 if they make it to the BTT finals.
This is what pisses me off about seeding. It seems like metrics and bad losses mean more than a bunch of high level wins. 4th most Q1 wins but can't get a 6 seed, that seems ridiculous.They would likely drop into the 40's in the NET and in the 30's on KenPom. 20-12 overall.
Even with their great Quad 1 wins, that would be rough metrics to put them at better than a 7 seed.
Again, the committee had Iowa just out of the top 16 a few weeks back. That was after the bad losses and Purdue blowout. Iowa will be rewarded for its good winsThis is what pisses me off about seeding.
