    Bracketology 2024

    Seeding 1-68 is always done without regard to location. Once that 1-68 list is finalized, a computer program does the actual bracketing and location placement for the Committee. Any bracketologist that knows what they're doing will follow the same process and can replicate what the computer...

    Bracketology 2024

    Winning or sharing the B12 title trumps everything else, even if it somehow would cost ISU the first weekend at Omaha.

    Bracketology 2024

    @brentblum @ChrisMWilliams This was discussed on Sunday's podcast. Here is how it lays out currently. Note the situation with Baylor as it relates to Memphis (closest) and Omaha (2nd): First weekend assignments based on the Saturday reveal would shake out as follows. If BU is above Bama, BU...

    Yep, this is the biggest conference game since the 2001 clincher in Ames vs Nebraska.

    Should Iowa Move On from Mad Fran?

    Fran is likely to move on from Iowa and quietly seek another job for multiple reasons including son Jack. Most likely at a decent mid-major program out East and may also pursue the DePaul job.

    Bracketology 2024

    Palm's in season bracketology is geared to irritate select fan bases and gain clicks. He is a Purdue grad and it's become an annual ritual for him to "intentionally" leave out other B10 teams or other teams with strong followings. This season he is toying with Michigan St fans. His current...

    Twister Sister Summary - Worst half of season dooms Sisters

    Jennie doesn't start anyone over 6-1 although she does have two low post players coming off the bench. And yet they are leading the conference by utilizing their bench/depth and her motion offense (which Bill really needs to steal).

    That rule has been updated as follows: To recognize the demonstrated quality of such teams, the committee shall not place teams seeded on the first four lines at a potential “home-crowd disadvantage” in the first round (i.e. THU/FRI first round games)

    EDIT: "Each of the first four teams selected from a conference shall be placed in different regions if they are seeded on the first four lines."

    Bracketology 2024

    According to JP, a computer fills out the bracket and assigns locations once the Seed List is completed in accordance with Bracketing Principles (e.g. no potential first weekend matchup vs a conference member that you have already played twice). Once the top 16 are assigned to their first...

    Bracketology 2024

    @ChrisMWilliams @brentblum You mentioned on WED's podcast not knowing how first weekend sites are assigned for the MBB NCAAs. Here is how it works. The Committee completes its 1-68 Seed List. Then the top 16 teams on the list are assigned, in order, from 1 thru 16 to the closest available...

    This is what I previously posted in another thread. The venue could be situated within a large exhibit hall as part of the proposed CyTown Hotel/Convention Center project near Hilton. You could have pull out bleachers on one side and the other side would have permanent seating with access to a...

    A new ISU VB facility would likely be similar to those at KSU, KU and Ohio St and not like Foster Pavilion and all of its amenities including donor lounges, etc. The capacity doesn't need to exceed 5K. And as previously posted, funding for it could be achieved via a partnership with another...

    This Day in Hilton Coliseum History

    The insertion of the walkon Hornacek into the starting lineup prior to that Mizzou game changed the trajectory of the program and the result of the Mizzou game was the initial big time evidence of that drastic shift upward.

    At the height of ISU VB success under CJL, there could be a legit argument made that VB was the best chance for ISU to win a team national title (wrestling, T&F & CC don't count). Since that time, those odds have changed for a variety of reasons but one of those factors is the investment made...

    ...as was the VB practice facility and here we are. A new ISU VB competition venue that can also be used year round for club VB, BB, wrestling, etc. and ISU sports camps seems like a natural partnership initiative that could be done in similar fashion to what is being done for the ISU tennis...

    Building a VB venue is far more relevant and doable than bringing back baseball and starting hockey. Definitely a ceiling on VB program progress without one.
