#1 MVC Northern Iowa loses

[CoralKnight]

25-6 team with NET of 36. Very good chance to snatch an at large bid.

 

[Candiru]

Highly unlikely they steal an at large bid

 

[ScarletLongIsland_rivals]

Not anymore

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

They lost to Drake and beat almost no one. They are out.

They just lost to Drake by 21 in the MVC tournament quarterfinals. Two of their wins are against non-D1 teams so are not recognized, sos is weak, 3 quad 3 losses, as a presumptive conference tournament winner they were graded as a 10-12 seed, net ranking with loss will slide into 40s. They’re in deep trouble.

they lost by 21 in the opening round of tourney to a bad team giving them 3 Q3 losses....they will be considered but I would give them only a 15% chance of making it

???. Drake had a net of something like 167 and they just lost to them. That’s like losing to Northwestern. Who cares if they beat them before. It’s not an accomplishment. If you don’t play anyone all year and lose to a crap team by 20 points, you should be out.

 

[Mr_Twister]

Folks here want to know what their road record looks like .

 

[Scarlet Shack]

Their net rankings will take a big 8-10
Spot dive and be squarely on the bubble

You know what they say, it’s difficult to beat the same team three times in a season.

Only Jerry Palm cares.

 

[RUPete]

Only Jerry Palm cares.

He’s probably crunching numbers to show that Drake is a solid loss today.

Funny you should mention that... Their quad 1 win is a ROAD win at top-25 NET Colorado. Without that win, they’re not on the bubble.

 

[bac2therac]

Thats great but 19 of their 23 wins are q3 and 4

Utah St and Richmond are similar in win total but play tougher schedules and dont have a hideous 21 pt Q3 loss

Keep up

 

[ScarletDave]

I’m confused, since it’s a loss away from home for UNI does that mean they are not even in the next four out anymore? Or since it was an away from home win for Drake that means they are in ?

 

[fluoxetine]

I think they're out.

 

[knight82]

They didn't just lose to the 8 seed. They got taken to the wood shed.

 

[King of S]

Highly unlikely they steal an at large bid

True bubble team - it will be close.

no - Palm blogged last night that NI only had a shot for at large if they made the finals.

 

[PSAL_Hoops]

Funny you should mention that... Their quad 1 win is a ROAD win at top-25 NET Colorado. Without that win, they’re not on the bubble.

Right - that 15% chance BAC mentioned would have to involve a situation where both Colorado and South Carolina make deep runs. There’s no other way for them to really pick up ground at this point.

 

[Scarlet Beach]

That's one bubble that has burst.
