Mods: Is there anyway to consolidate all this Hawk talk into one thread? Hard to keep up with all these different threads that are basically all saying the same thing. Front page is littered with nothing but Hawk talk. Yeahbuddy would be proud.

Mods: can you put this little brother on a three day vacation? Getting pretty uppity.

If Iowa goes 10-10 and doesn't beat at least 1 top half team in the conference and loses in the first round of the B1G tournament they will be a 1 seed hosting at home...

10-10 gets them to 21 wins and a 22.7% probability of NCAA bid

It's time to stop pretending that NU is a good basketball team. As of yesterdays Net Rankings Nebby was #24 at 13-7 and 3-6 in B1G play. If they don't drop like a rock then I think it's time to really start questioning the validity of the Net calculations.

had a convo with an Iowa BB fan. Their take:
  • B10g is a grinder, 10-10 absolutely get them in
  • Schedules don't matter, if Coe College or Sienna can get in with a crappy schedule, and by winning one game, Iowa is in the tourney at 10-10.
  • wins over Oregon and UConn (I had to remind him of the second big non con win of those two) make Iowa a lock for the tourney.

I've been saying this for 2 months. Nebraska is not good.

Yep, but the local narrative has been 10-10 gets Iowa in and I just don't see that happening without a win over Michigan or WI.

Yeah I was browsing what they have left last night and think 9-11 is most likely with 8-12 wins being the range of possibility. Given Fran's B10 tournament record you almost have to assume 0-1. Isn't he like 1-9 or 2-9 in that tournament?

With the 14 team tournament format 1 win for Iowa in the B1G tournament won't even move the needle. At 10-10 Iowa is probably around a 6 or 7 seed. The 6 seed plays the winner of the 14/11 game and the 7 seed plays the 10. In this scenario Iowa will have to win 2 games in Chicago which would at least give them a quality W.

I'm holding firm that 10-10 gets them in. They are 5-5 right now and in the top 30 in both NET and Kenpom. If they go 5-5 down the stretch, I can't see them moving that much from where they are right now.

If Iowa goes 10-10 without a win against Michigan, Maryland, or Wisconsin there is no chance they make the dance without winning at least two in Chicago.

What about 9-11?
 
With the disclaimer that this is true of most anyone:

Record of conference losses: 37-10

Record of conference wins: 11-36


It is probably hard to find one of this degree.
