If the committee went by Lunardi they might as well quit their job!

In their videos, it's not even about balancing the bracket. The top 7 seed goes to the closest location that has a 2 seed. The only reason they wouldn't is rematches with teams in the same part of the bracket.
Especially if it is ANY NC team. They will be in whatever situation has them in whatever regional is ALWAYS in NC. Just a rule.
Haven’t read this threat yet but shall we all throw some no guts no glory predix.
Iowa state vs VCU as a 4/13
Or
Iowa state vs oral Roberts as 5/12
Iowa vs wvu
Or
Iowa vs Arkansas
Okie state makes it
FAU gets a 7
I actually also think there are so many big ten teams in the 8/9 range Iowa could slip to 10

All you guys have Rose colored glasses because they beat us twice.
Go look at their resume, they were 0-8 against the Top 4 Big 12 teams, their best non-conf wins were DePaul or Wichita State, they lost to UCF, Southern Illinois, and Virginia Tech, teams nowhere near the bubble. They beat up on Tech and Oklahoma twice, and TCU without Miles.
They have a classic NIT resume. That being said I could still see them getting in because the bubble is so pathetic, but they'll most likely be in Dayton.
The committee put Cincinnati in Columbus the year they played Iowa as a 10 seed. So then they would have had a home court advantage in the 2nd round against Tennessee who was the 2 seed.
It's not out of the realm of possibilities that they put Iowa vs Kansas in Des Moines.
Assuming we’re a 5, looking at Bracket Matrix, our destinations will be Greensboro, Albany, or Orlando. If we get Virginia or Duke or Tennessee as the 4-seed we’ll definitely be in Greensboro.
If we get Indiana or Xavier, we’d normally get Columbus, but that region will be taken by Purdue and Kansas St or Marquette. The next closest location for Xavier and Indiana I think is Albany. The higher of those two will fill Albany with UConn, so if we get the higher seeded if the two we’ll be in Albany. The lower will get Orlando, so if we draw that one we’ll be in Orlando. If we get SDSU we’ll be in Orlando.
That’s the way I see it. For those scheduling, Orlando is Thurs/Sat, Albany and Greensboro are Fri/Sun

Sign me up for that bracket.
Anyone with Iowa's trends in stats (feast/famine offense, bad defense) but not them specifically.
I don't want another one off situation in the off chance they meet in the Sweet 16.
Final Round of The Players, ISU WBB Final, Selection Show, DST change day. Great day this year.
I was thinking more about Houston and UCLA both being banged up and K-State doesn’t scare me. Top 3 seeds are vulnerable and the 4 is meh.
My best guess(es) ... I might rethink this & revise later, but gut feeling:
(5) Iowa State vs. (12) Oral Roberts, in Denver (West Region)
OR
Col. Mustard, with the candlestick, in the ballroom.
