NCAA Tournament Poll

In or out? Gun to your head.

A) ISU
B) Iowa

ISU's best basketball is ahead of them.
I think the B10 is too tough for Iowa and already 0-2. Other than ISU, no decent wins to fall back on and not good enough to accumulate enough in conference.

Fran loves a good mid to late season meltdown.

Still enough patsies in the B1G to get them in, maybe the play-in game.

Iowa went undefeated in the non conference. Really rare to do that and miss. Although I doubt Iowa is any better than a 11-12 seed. Might even be in the play in which hardly counts.

Play in game loss sounds about right, that’s the peak of success for their program.

I'd say both "in" if not for Mad Fran's tendency for teams to implode down the stretch.

 

[bsaltyman]

I would say both are in with a soft bubble this year

I would say both are in with a soft bubble this year

Please tell me the last time the bubble was considered strong

 

[cyfanatic13]

ISU will be a 5-7 seed
Iowa will be 8-10 seed

 

[NoCreativity]

Both are in. With the Pac-12 likely getting only 1 bid this year its going to open up spots on the bubble for 10-10 Big 10 teams to get in.

 

[CloneGuy8]

Both will probably be in

 

[madguy30]

No idea on Iowa. They typically strike me as a basketball version of jenga. Iirc they've had more talented teams not do much.

I'd like to think ISU is in but will know more after Wednesday.

 

[JP4CY]

I think Iowa needs to do damage now. Frans teams aren’t great finishers.
Last 6 are vs Mary, vs Indy, @tOSU, vs Rutgers, @Wisky, @Nebby.

While none of those are Michigan level, I could see them hiccuping on some of these and go 2-4.

 

[Cy$]

both are in as 9-11 seeds

 

[bsaltyman]

Please tell me the last time the bubble was considered strong

Exactly my point

 

[mj4cy]

We like to rip on the Big 10 but this year it's a legit conference. Iowa is going to have trouble.

 

[benjimill]

Iowa will have plenty of chances to pick up a few quality wins at home. If they can pick up a couple wins against Michigan, MSU, Ohio State, Nebraska, or Indiana- and finish 9-11 or better in conference- they should be in.
