Fair enough.
Only chance Iowa has a prayer of sneaking into the 2nd weekend of the Dance is for the SC to take pity on them & slot them into a non-Dayton 11-seed.
Yep. Today really took a big wet bite out of my enthusiasm level. That's two horrific losses now to cellar dwellers. That's Alford-era level stuff right there. Apathy creeping back in, here.
I get it. But it’s also a bit irrational and unrealistic. Gotta view this season as buying a stock of a company at its low with new management and starting to see some dividends even though it’s bumpy early.
It’s not iffy. Horrible loss yes. But you can’t view these things in a vacuum. Had a horrible loss at Maryland. Didn’t affect seeding that much. It’s all relative and comparative at this point.
As of right now, yes, we are in and not iffy. However, IF we lose the next two (very likely) and then lose first game in BTT? Yeah...I'll be sweating. I think we'd still be in but bid stealers would start to worry me a bit.
Irrational and unrealistic after losing to two of the worst teams in the conference?
I’m assuming Iowa doesn’t win again.
You’ve seen this movie before with a 1st year Iowa head coach?
Not necessarily first year coach, but lots of meltdowns against lesser opponents.
If IU doesn’t win the rest of their games, Iowa will will be the 8 seed. They have MSU at home and play at OSU.
Let's just go ahead and assume they won't make the tournament. It'll be easier for all those fans then who will be surprised as f*** to see Iowa's name called on Selection Sunday........
I think Dayton if they lose out. Win 1 BTT game probably 9 seed. Definitely cooked for anything better than 8/9 unless they beat Michigan or Nebraska and don't see that happening.
No, we'll get excited until we see it's Iona, not Iowa.
Winning a game in the BTT doesn't do anything, because of how the committee treats the CTs.
You just kind of proved my point I think they are in too regardless.Winning a game in the BTT doesn't do anything, because of how the committee treats the CTs.
Like I said, there's no point in arguing with people who don't understand how this thing works anymore, so you all just need to f***ing start assuming we won't make the tournament, so that you can actually have something to be pleasantly surprised about when we do get in.
No, I just didn't bother addressing whether we'll end up in Dayton or not.......or did I?
Still in the tournament so doesn't matter. You have them baked into 9 seed it appears. Definitely strong possibility.No, I just didn't bother addressing whether we'll end up in Dayton or not.......or did I?
This just doesn’t add up logically. They don’t have that wide a range at this point. No team does. They won’t fall to an 11 seed. I’m not sure losing out automatically drops them to a 10. Just not enough teams to slot ahead of them realistically.
Okay fine. They can, and probably will, reach the 10 if they lose out.
You are probably right I'm just saying IMO at worst they in Dayton if they lose out aka they in no matter what.
I listed the teams seeded 6-10 on Lunardi's latest bracketology in, I think it was, Fran's bracketology thread.
