Need some Bacatology…..dislike both, but what’s best from the RU to tourney standpoint??
Iowa-Michigan
- Thread starter SF88
- Start date
Definitely Michigan IMO. We want them back in the Top 30 NET. We play them twice and Iowa only once, therefore Michigan is weighted more heavily in our SOS.
Michigan fans are complete scum. IMO, worse than PSU fans. I hope Iowa stomps them.
Read the bacotology thread, @kcg88 breaks down games of note and who to root for every day.
In this case we're rooting for Iowa

we want Iowa to win to remove Michigan from the discussion for now, having one less school to compete for a bid is better than another Q1 win...our game at Michigan next week will be a Q1 game no matter what since its on the road. would not want them to start to go on a run including beating us
I think we want to knock Michigan out as a potential bubble competitor. And their fans suck so that too.
Penn St, playing twice, is smacking the hell out of Minnesota, played once.
and yes Michigan, twice, stomping Iowa, once, is better for us.

If it would hell Rutgers win the B1G championship, I’d root for Michigan. But for any other scenario, I hope they get stomped in every sport
Very cogent thinking.
I however, prefer to root for both teams to lose by 35 points. And for McCaffery and HC Mo Howard…uh I mean Juwan to get 5 technicals each and to have a sissy fight in the hallway leading to the locker room!!
That was fun to type!!
It's an Iowa home game and they are likely in the field of 68 already anyway. So keeping Michigan out should be the goal, as was stated above.
Did PSU play an afternoon game today? It's already a final, with Minnesota losing to the Nits. But why play on a Thursday afternoon?

Get Michigan out of there. If Michigan gets and stays in the Top 30 then people will be talking about them going to the dance. Knock them out, call them a Quad 2 win and call it even. A road victory against them would be Quad 1 anyway I assume.
#19 Iowa 0-6, 5-1, 4-0, 8-0
4 Q1, 2 Q2, Q3 left
#36 Michigan is 2-7, 3-2, 4-1, 4-0
6 Q1, 1 Q2 left
2 of them against each other
Q1 10 vs 15, Q2 8 vs 6, Q3 5 vs 5, Iowa 23, Michigan 26
Michigan has the chance at a better resume and better wins for us than Iowa, especially if we sweep Michigan to just 1 win at home to Iowa.

No because Iowa is a lock for the NCAA while Michigan will be battling with Rutgers and Indiana for last bids from Big Ten..
Ain't no such thing as "last bids from Big Ten". The committee does not count the number of bids per conference. At least so we are told.
Go Hawkeyes, knock the Wolverines down a peg on the bubble battle.
Iowa(17-7) is no lock at #19 and 7 remaining
No Q1s and 5 Quad 2 wins, @ 81 Virginia(16-10) 75-74, Neutral 65 Utah St(14-12) 94-75, vs 44 Indiana(16-9) 83-74, @ 103 Minnesota(12-12), @ 100 Md(11-14) 110-87. All 5 "quality" wins aren't holding up as any signature wins. Q2 loss @ PSU(11-12) 85-90.
(8-0) 8 Q4 wins +232 points, +29.0 per, Q1/2/3 (9-7) +73, Margin of victory +4.56.
Maryland 10 losses out of 13
Minn 11 losses out of 13
Indiana 4 straight
At least Michigan has @ Indiana, not home win, and vs Purdue 82-58.

Lol.. the big Dick lowers his shoulder and runs over the Iowa player. Gets the foul and then cry's like a baby.
Jersey high school basketball legend Jon Crispin just went on a nice tangent about how good Rutgers is
Howard is going to cost his team a big game with his antics one day. Maybe today is that day.
