Iowa had a 3% chance of missing the tournament prior to the Maryland game. Well guess what.
I still don’t think they’re a shoe in

There’s a chance we could end up only going 10 and 10 in the league

If we don’t win a game in the league tournament, that would put us right on the bubble in my opinion

The straw that 'Stirtz' the drink ... Hawkeyes.

Loved all the verbal stumbling he did over it, too - when we all know he's been practicing it ever since he found out he'd be doing this game.

They are certainly playing like a bubble team

If Iowa were to get to 10-10 I think they're in. I'm not sold they get there. That's why Maryland was so big.

Nice of the refs to screw up and stop the game so Purdue could draw up an out of bounds play with 4 seconds on the shot clock

Only six regular season games left after today

Hawks will only be favored in two (OSU and PSU)

We are not gonna be trending in the right direction going into March

Eff we have to win these games. It would be no big deal had we not lost to Maryland.
Correct, before Maryland there was a 3% chance to miss the tournament. After Maryland it went up to 27%. Getting that game was so imperative.

We need to be honest about where we are. This roster is not built to compete at a high level in this conference. That was obvious before the season even started.

But instead of reality, we get spin. Beat writers act like campaign managers for the university, selling optimism and protecting the brand. I just read one claiming we could be a playoff contender in football next year. Based on what? Hope is not a depth chart.

They make their money on hype, access, and keeping people comfortable. At some point you stop calling that analysis and start calling it what it is. Promotion. And right now, I don’t trust any of it.
