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

[Deleted member 8507]

Out of curiosity I looked at last year's NIT field to get a feel where P5 cutoff is. http://bracketmatrix.com/nit
It appears that since the NCAA runs the NIT now, a P5 school probably needs to be in top 100 RPI and be at least 3-4 games over .500 for strong consideration. 16-15 teams probably won't get in anymore. Relating that to Iowa, assuming they lose their two road games, end of regular season is 16-15 so they need to win at least 3 games in BIG 10 tourney for a solid NIT bid. No P5 team played in the CBI or CIT last year.

NCAA has owned the NIT since 2005.. Iowa gained a bid in 2012 with a record 1 game above .500.

So, I'm obviously a little late to the game here, but I just saw this put-back dunk from Baer. Everything about the sequence of events following the dunk (the dunk included to some degree) screamed amateur hour to me. The Tiger Woods fist pump was perfectly executed, however. For those that didn't see it, but want to enjoy it:

What year did they almost hang the banner?

They bought their way in.

Iowa finished 2nd in the NIT in 2013.

Remember how they thought that was better than us making the round of 32? That was awesome.

Bohannon dribbling the ball in frontcourt, absolutely crucial moment in the game, and he just lets the Indiana kid take the ball away from him for a layup. Yeah, that's exactly what you want out of your sensational freshman PG. Are the tavernhoks still crowing about what a superstar he is going to be?

Well, Dakich did say he will be a 1500pt 700 assist guy. What!!

 

[YeahBuddy]

Not really saying much, Miller isnt very bright.

I remember Iowa fans saying an NIT run was better than a one and done in the NCAA tournament and that was universally accepted by Hawkeye fans

I'm calling BS on pretty much everything in this post.

Me too-that's as believable as the Easter bunny. Lol

That doesnt say anything about Iowa's NIT performance back in 2013.

Really? Hmm, you must have been talking to the dumb portion of our fanbase.

You really need to hang out and converse with some smarter Iowa fans. There are a lot of us out there.

Oh no it was discussed at length on 1460, polls were done and everything. The narrative was "I'd rather go to the NIT because an NIT run will benefit this young team way more than a one and done in the NCAA Tournament will"

oops

Try this one, and if you scroll down there are two more threads just like it

It's things like these that us ISU fans laugh about at the time, but Iowa fans are totally serious. Then 3-6 years later the YeahBuddy's be like "that never happened"

Just like the "right way"
