That's why you're not an Iowa fan. The tournament discussion is one Iowa has been in dozens of times. No, there won't be sweat regardless of Thursday's outcome. Have seen the movie before.

I think Iowa's in, no matter how many bad teams they've beaten (and that's a lot, including Nebraska). It's a little like Nebraska's season last year: beat virtually no one in the non-conference (Nebraska lost to a couple of good/great teams, whereas Iowa went undefeated this year); beat Michigan badly at home; beat the not-so-good B1G teams, including a last-second home victory against a bad team (Northwestern for Iowa, Illinois last year for Nebraska). The only difference would be the banked-in corner 3 by Wieskamp at Rutgers to win at the buzzer.

Still, because of the B1G's perceived weakness last year, a 13-5 conference record wasn't good enough for Nebraska. And because of the perceived strength of the B1G this year, a 10-10 conference record — with almost all of those victories against teams that finished under .500 in the conference — Iowa is likely a lock for the tournament.

BTW, today's NET rankings have Iowa at 42, and Nebraska is at 52.

I don't hate Iowa. Hell, I work for the university. I just hate the basketball gods and the way they continually laugh at die-hard Husker Hoops fans like myself.

Andy Katz has the Hawkeyes as a team in "Trouble."
Iowa State: Losers of three straight heading into the Big 12 tournament.
St. John’s: Losers of three straight to drop to seventh in the Big East.
Iowa: Losers of four in a row, capped off by an overtime loss at Nebraska Sunday.

Nobody said they were fake bud... just saying.. hes the type of coach that gives out rings for a 12-0 start without a single win over a top25 team reg season, finishing without a conference championship followed up with a blow out loss to Mcaffreys fighting cardinals. Im sure they were jacked ..

Are u gonna be around when his little brother takes you to the woodshed too or are ya scared

There’s a huge difference between the iowa fan base you meet in person and the iowa message board fan base. Iowa fans in person are generally decent, message board iowa fans are the trash of social media. The absolute worst.

You are terrible at evaluating a basketball team. At least we know ours is bad, and we still won! It takes a special kind of bad to lose to the horrible shooting, coach on the way out huskers blowing a 16 point lead. Hawkeyes were just sloppy and are pretty bad on defense. The refs have gifted them the 7th most free throw attempts in the country and they have a .500 conference record to show for it. They are not good

Yeah you could say giving up 16 points in 47 seconds is a major choke job. I would say they were getting paid back by the basketball gods for all the lucky last second shots to win games they've had this year.

Actually, I give Nebraska credit for winning it. They fouled, Iowa made FTs, great in bounds play on final shot, clean look by a proven clutch player, and a kid made the play of his life with a great block....nothing Iowa did mattered on that Sunday in the last 5 mins.

As for the football stuff...neither Nebraska fans or Iowa fans should fool themselves...neither team(the ones who coach and play) is worried about the other, and both teams know they will be very difficult games.

Who you got on a hypothetical neutral court?
2017-2018 Nebraska (22-10 after B1G tourney, 13-5 in conference, 5th seed in the NIT) OR
2018-2019 Iowa (22-11 after B1G tourney, 10-10 in conference, presumed 8-9 seed in NCAA)

I'm going with last year's Huskers.

So good for you for getting into the Dance. I guess.

The whole season is about making the dance. If you don't make the tournament your season is a failure like Nebraska last year.

Yeah hypotheticals just don't work. In football or basketball. You are what your record says you are. One is a tournament team, the other is not.

This has nothing to do with Football, check out the thread title. There's no excuses for what you're referring to. One is old & outdated the other discussion is of Iowa basketball & going to the tournament vs. not going to the NCAA tournament. Iowa is used to going, the other is used to the NIT, or less. It's pure & simple.

Will pass this off. You know & I know it's not exactly how college basketball works. Good little upset of a tournament team, though. It means squat, you're right.

Minnesota deserves the B1G title for beating Purdue late in the year.:rolleyes:

My point is Nebraska was better last year than Iowa this year and I stand by that from what I have seen from Iowa the past month.

That was the original point.

Your original point is not even a point, that's hyperbole & there is absolutely no facts to back that up besides end of season tournaments. That's it.

Geezus, would someone kick these a-hole, 50 IQ iowa dorks off this message board? Their drivel and stupidity, while humorous for awhile, fades quickly as they continue to show what dim witted Neanderthals they truly are.
