Agreed, A buddy of mine was at the game last night and took a pic of things just before the game. Looks like a pretty solid turnout.

Re: Iowa MBB definitely not a #1 seed

Leistikow is on the Iowa beat. He's basically their Randy and replaced Rick. Of course he's a homer.

All I heard was "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!". Amazing how things change when you actually care about the game.

I was there too, and it was probably the loudest I've heard Carver in person ever. And I've been to a lot of good games.

If it was like that all the time, it would actually not suck. But...

Would the committee do that to Kansas? Iowa fans would drown out Wells and cheer against KU. Especially if they played Michigan (Lunardi has them as the 9 seed in Des Moines).

Kansas gets the closest available area. It doesn't matter what other fan base is there
 
Re: Iowa MBB definitely not a #1 seed

I just don't see how Iowa can even win one of their last three games. They are in serious trouble.

Ohio State is an NIT team that just lost one of their best players. Iowa will be favored Sunday

OSU is better than PSU and we saw how Iowa did at PSU. Iowa is not playing worth a dam right now. If they keep playing the way they have since the Maryland game, they won't beat OSU.

Iowa isn't play bad they are just playing to their talent level now. They were just playing above it in January. You had to know most of those guys weren't going to sustain the numbers they were putting up earlier in the season

I would say they were probably playing above it before and below it now.
 
Re: Iowa MBB definitely not a #1 seed

What metric would have Iowa currently higher than a #5 seed?

Another part of it was Iowa having 4 seniors and 1 junior starting gave Iowa a leg up on the B1G to start the conference along with some luck in scheduling (MSU without Valentine once and limited once). As other more talented teams in the conference got experience comfortable and there young guys got scouted they got passed by a couple of teams.
In the end though Iowa's back court just isn't good enough to sustain their earlier success and they settled into a 3-4 seed which I'll admit exceded my expectations for thier team's talent.
