You made me check the Oral Bob roster. I was suprised they didn't have anyone named BJ.
Joe T. That would be awesome.
Can someone explain to me why Iowa could get Des Moines? Aren’t they around an 8 seed at this point? Kansas will have Des Moines I would think so they wouldn’t put an instate team against the top seed in the second round…
I hope so. The WVU style would be a shock to them. Iowa fans will hate Stevenson
Not sure I'm a fan of what you're a fan of. You do realize that 11-seeds that tend to get on a roll in the tournament are the ones that play the play-in game, right? ISU doesn't need any of that nonsense.
While I would tend to be more in favor of a 6-seed over a 5, give me an 11 that didn't play the play-in game.
(and yes - I'm well aware we were an 11-seed last year that didn't play the play-in game and got on a roll. But that was because 1. we were badly underseeded, and 2. we were placed in MIlwaukee with what was honestly a very ideal path to the Sweet 16)
Just building upon this initial post, can we all just take a step back before tomorrow's show, and truly appreciate the great coaching job and players working their a**es off these past 2 seasons. The fact we made the tourney 2 years in a row out of absolute nowhere is incredible. These were truly bonus years in my opinion. Sweet 16 last year and a good shot for another one this year. Before the madness starts up tomorrow night, just take a chance to enjoy this pleasant surprise.we will get to experience our 9th out of the last 12 years tomorrow. Enjoy!

After reading this no seed is safe so why bother going to the tournament.
Iowa has been employing this strategy with the second weekend for awhile now.
The key to success in the tournament is getting there a lot with teams that are good enough to make some noise. I'm quite sure we have one this year, but that could mean anything from a deep run to an early exit. All depends on matchups, and how we play that day. I love the process anyway.
Actually not. They are not going to make #1 KU play a #8 Iowa in Des Moines. Palm literally just mails his crap in.
How so? If the top seeds like KU are supposed to get earned advantage, how can you give them an 8/9 team basically playing at home???
I only disagreed because I like the coaching staff to know who they are playing right away rather than trying to scout 2 teams and not knowing until 1 day before the game
Technically that advantage only is for the first round
The committee takes travel distance and travel expenses into consideration for all of the teams. But only the 1-4 seeds get preferential placement. Them
