Also…fill Carver for the next two games. I’m headed to SC game from WDM.
20-11 (10-10) regular season record
- Thread starter QChawks
- Start date
Got ourselves back to .500 in big ten
our record is exactly where I expected it to be when I started my predictions

Win the next 5......be favored in all of them most likely.
Tough schedule but also lots of opportunity. Iowa could definitely use more q1 wins.
Yep. It can be a gauntlet but a lot of opportunities come along with that run of games as well.
I'd rather see that then a bunch of Q3/Q4 games. A few losses won't ruin tournament hopes whereas one or two Q4 L's would.
Also any wins vs Q1 and 2 means a lot more for the NET and tourney resume than wins vs Q3 & 4 teams.
2-0 start, but both closing stretches were as shaky as could be.
(USC game is quite likely an Iowa loss if Trojan freshman doesn't have his head up his butt at the end of regulation)
Work on closing out games better and that 6-0 prediction is still absolutely possible.
"Note to self"? lol j/k. We have Nebby twice, Mich once at home, and the Broilers at home. Take care of business with teams we expect to beat, and maybe get one or two from the heavy hitters. Good opportunities coming.
As I was saying........
We sit at 16-5, 6-4 right now. We could easily go 3-7 in this final stretch, but again........that'd be really f***ing disappointing.
NUFFIN besides a Natty and they go undefeated from here on out
We may be able to beat Purdue at home. The game at Purdue was close. And I badly want Iowa to beat Wisconsin. I don’t like them at all. Never did.
so beat Washington, NW, Maryland, Purdue (
), Wisconsin () Ohio St and Penn St, and this will be a great season. I can’t see us beating Nebraska and Michigan.

Agreed. Much better close out tonight on the road against a team having a bad year, but one that still seemed to be competing.
7-4/17-5.
vs NW = W
@ MD = W
vs PU = W
vs NEB = W
@ Wisky = L, but could go either way (F* WISCONSIN!!!!!!!)
vs OSU = W
@ PSU = W
vs UM = L, but chance it could go either way
@ NEB = L, but could go either way
13-7/23-8 going into the BTT.

Iowa NET #19
7-5 in Q1/Q2
Minnesota moves to a Q1 loss for Iowa.

Maryland is bad.. But all road games make me a little nervous.
Tampa one of eight first round locations.
If Iowa ended up down here, I think I might have to find a way to get to the game(s).
Oklahoma City is my first choice. Obviously St. Louis would be great but I don't see that happening. After Oklahoma City, Tampa is my next choice. After attending six bowl games and several vacations in area, I somewhat know my way around.
Seems like the selection committee always sends Iowa off to Timbuktu somewhere to play their opening round games. About the lone exception I can remember is them playing in Minneapolis back in '91.
Where we had the privilege of playing Duke in round 2 who won the natty that year. That was neat.
I like your optimism, but even at home beating Purdue and Nebbie will be a tall order. I am seeing 21-10, which will still far exceed my expectations for Ben’s first year.
With better legs and fully recovered from the flu bug, Iowa either wins @ PU or forces the Boilers to hit a buzzer-beater to win it.I like your optimism, but even at home beating Purdue and Nebbie will be a tall order. I am seeing 21-10, which will still far exceed my expectations for Ben’s first year.
Hawks will be fully healthy and on a hot streak, at home.
Revenge time.
And as far as Nebby goes, I think we'll continue seeing "water returning to level" with them. And you better believe Coach McCollum will have his guys guarding the 3pt shot like their life depends on it in that game.
You still have Fran syndrome on your brain, let Dr Ben McCollum help you with that, the therapy is painless......I like your optimism, but even at home beating Purdue and Nebbie will be a tall order. I am seeing 21-10, which will still far exceed my expectations for Ben’s first year.
That first half last night certainly didn't help those of us that still have "Fran Syndrome".....difference is Ben knows how to make halftime adjustments and we clamped down, which was awesome to see.
I agree. Win the next 2 and get back into the T25 most likely. However, that final 7 is a tough stretch, and while anything is possible, I just don't see them doing better than 2-5 or maybe 3-4. Hope they can finish top 8 and get the double-buy for the BTT.I like your optimism, but even at home beating Purdue and Nebbie will be a tall order. I am seeing 21-10, which will still far exceed my expectations for Ben’s first year.
Wow, 17-5 at this juncture, who would have thunk it? Kudos to Coach McCollum and his staff for one helluva' job!
Maybe 5-4….( not in order)
Purdue and tOSUat home, Nebby (h &a), @ Maryland, @ Penn State and NW @ home, @ Wisconsin and Michigan ay home.
Maybe 12-14 wins.
