Jorbo probably brought his own array of hair care products, thus his reason for being upset.

Iowa is days away from opening the NCAA tournament as a 2 seed. Bohannon's Twitter activity is dead last on my list of worries right now.
 
It's getting to that time of year again. Once again going with the NET rankings

Obviously a long way to go with a lot of work to do....

Iowa 14-5 Net #23 with a big game Thursday v #8 Purdue
ISU 14-5 Net #29 need to get back on track v #48 OSU
Drake 12-6 Net #101 unless they go on a incredible run probably already in have to win Valley tournament territory
UNI 8-9 Net# 120 need to win Valley tourney

I am astonished at Iowa's NET.

A better evaluation is the SOR.
ISU SOR 25
Iowa SOR 38
Drake SOR 103
UNI SOR 170

I think both teams will be on the bubble when it is all said and done. Hopefully the right side of the bubble.

Me too.....in a nutshell...basically no bad losses.

Kind of surprised ISU isn't higher but I think they're still in a really good spot. SOS will be strong the rest of the way and if NET is the primary metric I think you guys are in even with a 8-10 conference record...maybe even 7-11 with a B12 tournament win or 2.

I go with NET because supposedly that's the main Metric the committee uses unless that's changed.
I have heard it still factors but not as highly as in past years. I just think the SOR is more indicative of the team. ISU is probably a 6-7 seed. Iowa a 8-10 seed (mostly due to no "good" wins).

Weekly update

NET seems to really like the Hawks...not gonna complain but thought they'd drop honestly

Iowa 14-6 Net #23 Held serve in the NET after going 1-1....need to at least split this week v PSU and tOSU
ISU 16-5 Net #25 the clones up 4 spots after going 2-0
Drake 14-6 Net #93 Bulldogs up 8 spots...still probably need the MVC tourney
UNI 10-9 Net #119 Panthers up 1 spot...need to win MVC tourney

And Iowa got 2 Q1 wins by Indiana winning and Utah State winning.

Iowa being ahead of Iowa State is ridiculous but there’s nothing anyone can do about the formula and how it values teams.
 
Pretty much agree...

Missouri being #160 kind of limited the bounce for ISU this week....
Mizzou was the dumbest team I've seen in a long, long time. If their contested shots didn't fall in the first half, and if ISU didn't take their foot off the throats with like 4:30 left, they would have lost by 30+. I can not see how that coach will be there next year.

Iowa state wins 4 more and they are a lock for the tourney.
I think that's accurate.

Not really any "bad" loss possibilities left on the schedule...

Only thing that could throw a wrench in that scenario is if they start getting those 10+ pt losses....apparently take a bigger NET hit for those.
