I guess Iowa's collapse will start in March this year...

[IASTATE07]

I thought you were done with this board...what changed?

Do you like Seinfeld? It's like when George told off his boss and quit. Then he tried to sneak back into work like it never happened.

Depends on ones definition of "respected"... He had Iowa State as a 6 until the NCAA committee did their top 16 reveal, so take Palm with a grain of salt.

The season of Royce Palm had ISU out all year. If you recall ISU lost in the 1st game of the conf tourney to a pretty bad UT team and still ended up an 8. They were not even a bubble team and had been solidly in for a while.
He has traditionally been way more bullish on the big10 than others. He usually gets it right at the end but his in season brackets have had some really strange outliers. Seems a bit like a push poller.

Nebraska is firmly on the bubble.. I don't get it, but metrics love them.

Yeah I know and I don't get it either. Come selection time they won't be anywhere close to the bubble...

That win at Kansas State that year solidified us in the field to everyone in the world but Jerry Palm

True story based on when Larry David quit as a writer for SNL.

Do you think Iowa makes it to the second round?

Yes I do, higher seeded teams generally win their first round games. I think they end up a 6 seed. Honestly it wouldn't be shocking to see them in the sweet 16 but I think it's unlikely.

 

[Jim Lahey]

Iowa fans absolutely root for other Big Ten teams in the tourney

Link?

4th season sweep in a grinder of a conference. Wow!

I did not know that. Thanks for sharing.

Could be... I mean if TCU, Oklahoma, and Baylor are all there doesn't Nebraska have to be also?

No chance Iowa ever makes the Sweet 16 with Fran as HC

Is this serious? It's common sense

 

[Herkster]

I cheer for ISU more than I cheer for any other B10 team.

I can't wait to watch us get murdered by Bruno Fernando tonight. Going to be entertaining watching him dunk over Garza on repeat.

George Costanza = Larry David

Lol.. No. Can't really imagine rooting for Wisconsin or Michigan or any of those teams honestly...

Christopherson would have abused JBo.

 

[iahawks]

Just the last two years? OK, we'll take the rest I guess.

Those seemed to be the most contentious ones in recent years.

You are definitely an outlier here

Whatever yeahbuddy!

Baylor is 7-5 in league play. Only one between OU and TCU will be in thew bubble discussion come selection Sunday unless something drastically changes. The Big 12 will be a 7 bid league and the B1G will be an 8 bid league.
