Any updates yet on tournament odds or new seeding? Most of it will probably come out tomorrow or Monday I guess.

Lunardi sent out an e-mail at 120pm. He usually sends another one out Saturday night/afternoon. We were #3 on last four byes at that point before the conclusion of our game

Tennessee 3 minutes from playing its way in, most likely, but not in safe territory yet.

 

[CycloneNation18]

Oklahoma's down 22 to TCU at halftime. Wait. What?

 

[Cydkar]

Iowa will beat Nebraska and Northwestern and with their 21 wins WILL make the tournament.

Big 10 will be HEAVILY favored during selection time.

I don't think those 2 wins move the needle much for Iowa. Probably need one more. Never know, of course.

 

[tman24]

Iowa needs 22 wins to have a chance

 

[CyFan61]

Hawks will be in the discussion with wins over Northwestern and Michigan State but I think they still fall short unless they somehow win 3 in the tourney.

I wondered that, too. Is Kruger resting players or something?

TCU shooting lights out. OU playing like I hope they play on Thursday. Nobody resting.

It's crazy, but today all the SEC bubble teams won.

Jeff borzello says we have to win one in the big 12 tournament. I don't agree.

If all the mid major at large hopefuls win their tourney's, I don't think we have to win a game in the Big 12 tourney.

 

[cyatheart]

Prob best to win one more, just to be sure. I still think we got a much better team than OU, time will tell.

Agreed. Better safe than sorry. A win against another tourney team would solidify us greatly. As most ISU fans know already, we should NEVER take anything for granted.

Ouch. Oregon fell at Utah, Colorado lost at home to Oregon State.

Neither in any real tournament trouble, but that's doing yourself no seeding favors.

I can't believe Oregon was still ranked in the top 20 going into this week. Ducks haven't had a high-level win since Jan. 19.

 

[Cyclonesince78]

We're a 100% lock. At this point it's all about seeding.

 

[CycloneErik]

The 'goodwill' from the KU game is obviously having a great effect.

I had Oregon at a 10 seed in my bracket. Saw most people had them a bit higher. Didn't get it as their RPI isn't great and their wins vs top 50 was the same as ISU. They had a better road record and less bad losses then ISU did.

Looks like the MVC wont be stealing a bid.
