If Wisconsin is a bubble team with a NET in the 70s Iowa is fine. Iowa will get in but likely face a team like Kentucky in an 8/9 or 7/10 game.
Tough day for EIU hoops hopes
- Thread starter MuskieCy
- Start date
And yet Connor has the fewest number of assists listed. Is this like winning the batting title after you get called up and go 2 for 4 in the final game of the season?
That game is going to be very interesting. Wisconsin needs to win to keep any hope of getting in.
I still can't get over this.
Fran gets the gate.
Mrs Fran is most likely dropping F bombs all over the place and radio and is shown the gate.
PMac is halfway to being shown the gate.
CMac is retweeting ref complaints.
And this was the game flow. I mean cmon:

Richmond sucked. They got freaking annihilated by Providence. And not like, it was just one of those days. It was one of those matchups where they could play 10 times and Richmond would never have a prayer against Providence. Just so thoroughly overmatched.
And the previous year the fact that Iowa didn't belong on the same court as Oregon must have meant the Ducks were criminally underseeded... Until they got completely destroyed by USC...which must've meant Oregon AND USC were criminally underseeded... Until USC got destroyed by Gonzaga, who got smoked by Baylor.
And the COVID year per the final NET they woud've been a 9 seed. The COVID cancelled tournament was the best thing that happened to the Hawks. One more year to avoid getting bounced in the first weekend.
Eventually they will get to the second weekend. The law averages says when you get that many whacks at the pinata with an at-large P6 team you have to at least fall ass backwards into a Sweet 16, don't you?
It's like the first day of baseball, where everyone makes the same "he's on pace for 162 home runs" joke. Not impressive unless you're doing it with volume.
Just shows the power of Iowa's fake ID in both football and basketball.
Having been to several high school games they were at, she always seemed crazier than him somehow
i cant believe a bigger deal isn't being made of this. it was beyond embarrassing. fran has apparently lowered the bar for behavior so much, that short of assaulting someone, the hawk AD seems to fully condone it.I still can't get over this.

good thing for barta that games like this get hidden on the Big 10 network and arent ESPN broadcasts.

Correct, they still have 7 Q1 wins. I think they’d have to lose out to not make the tourney.
Obviously Iowa doesn't play D and can't stay in front of quick guards. That's the primary problem when they play good teams or in the Tournament. Another thing that's becoming clear, though, is that teams that are just committed to stopping Iowa's transition game have a great shot against them. This pushing it up the floor every time even on a made basket is sort of a gimmicky thing these days. It can work great against teams that aren't very good or are unmotivated. It just doesn't fly in big important games against formidable opponents.

Iowa blew their load last night trying to press NW way too early in the game. In the second half NW carved up their press and Iowa really struggled to get back into a good defensive set. NW was content with running the possessions deep into the shot clock but then basically got any look they wanted. They would make like one or two passes and someone would be WIDE open. That can't happen That extra energy getting burned effects the offensive end too, especially when you aren't generating TO's and transition buckets.
All of that aside, Iowa showed that once again they are NOT a good basketball team outside of Carver.
Score on your mom is almost as bizarre as thinking of her when lip creaming your frozen todger
In Bucky world fans know Iowa players far more for their behavior than their basketball playing.
They're an embarrassment to the conference and proud of it.
Iowa will make the Tournament. Indiana, Iowa State, and @Rutgers are enough to get them in. College Basketball seems to be down overall. Probably because the high major teams have just had so little continuity recently thanks to the Portal and NIL. Its too bad because I think Drake is better than Iowa, but they'll get left out if the don't win the MO Valley tournament.
This is why I hate NET, it is set up to not give at large bids to the mid majors which sucks because they are the ones that make the tournament so special.
When you play your conference games on Sundays, nobody is watching. But you're right, this is something I'd think the media would be all over.
They’ll get a few more and be easily in. My opinion, of course.
