Seemingly never ending Iowa MBB thread (still going.....)

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed

Iowa's Forecasted RPI SOS is 18. Not sure where the "WOOF" is in that. Higher than Nova, Xavier and UNC. I'll take it.

So what is that? Dropping like 9 or 10 spots since they played Maryland to the end of the season? That's pretty impressive in only a few games.

Close, 18-13=5.

Pretty close actually.

Only if Hampton or UAB can also be matched up against ISU.

Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding. We have a new winner for Captain Obvious. Hope you didn't strain any brain cells coming up with that one.

Think how much easier it would be to play in the B1G in football and basketball.

Exactly. Nebraska has been killing it.

Thank you Indiana for dropping out of the Top 25. Will make your win on Thursday much more enjoyable.

I'd be ok dropping at least a few the rest of the way out. Last thing I want is for Iowa to get a 1 seed. Would set up too well for something bad to happen. Like, historically bad. No thanks.

I think this is pretty likely. Drop @ Indiana and @ Michigan, poor showing in BTT. Maryland goes on good run, Iowa bumped down to #2 seed. I'd live with that and would be nice avoiding the nightmare 1/16 loss scenario.

Re: Iowa MBB now a projected #1 seed

I wouldn't want a 1 seed until one loses. Leave it to ISU/Iowa to be the first.

Nut up. Don't hope your team doesn't get a #1 seed. Besides, it's never happened. Ever. As opposed, a15 beating a 2 has happened multiple times.

Or Northwestern State.

Did you know after that Hampton loss in 2001. Hampton went to North Carolina the following November and won?

At least ISU won an OUTRIGHT mbb conference regular season championship in 2001 as well as 2000

Iowa's last outright conference championship in mmb? FORTY-SIX YEARS AGO. but you knew that

Please hold the FB comparison. We're speaking of cocky Iowa mbb fans here..

Play a team who doesn't have 1, 2, or 3 injured starters..... oh..Iowa did once. Maryland. And they lost

Who was injured when Iowa played @MSU, @Purdue, and vs. Purdue?

Purdue isn't that good, they have lost to everyone decent they've played.

They're #22 rpi, and Iowa beat them on their home court. Who's the best team ISU has beaten on their home court?

11 of 19 Purdue wins were against RPI 150 or more, yikes. Interesting that their RPI is 22, I would think a strength of schedule of 75 would drag them down more.

Sure, but does it count? Seems like RPI is the bible around here. Out of 350+ programs, the fact that Purdue is #22 seems pretty good, and Iowa sweeping them is pretty impressive. No? And I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what meaningful game ISU has won on the road this year.

Kansas State @ 35 and beat Colorado @ 27 on neutral court.

What was the score of the Iowa vs Iowa State game?

Iowa state had road loses to RPI 1, 17 and 20.

KSU is 40.

Neutral court? Weak.

Congrats on the miracle comeback in Ames, it was impressive. Upsets happen. Good to know your best road win is against #40.
