Seemingly never ending Iowa MBB thread (still going.....)

I had a Big 14 homer talk **** to me a few years ago about WV in the Big 12, but then tried to legitimize Maryland and Rutgers like there's any decent reason for it.
It was a strange conversation, although I guess WV adds a decent football school along with basketball.
It is in NYC next year which means it is going to be a week early because MSG will also host the Big East tourney.
That's cute they get to play a week early with all the other mid major teams
Disagree,if Simeon Carter is still here, he will out celebrate Christian on the bench.
Wasn't there an article the other day that gave the longest streaks in college basketball? Five straight was T-9 on the list. That may not be "elite", but it's a hell of a lot closer than Iowa fans would like to admit.
Oh wow. That means some teams will have two weeks between games. That's more than Christmas break. Not sure I'd be a fan of that if I was a coach.
Making the tournament six straight times and two Sweet 16s is impressive, but not anywhere close to being considered "elite". Making deep runs in the tourney and winning conference championships regularly makes you elite.
If you are going to continue to argue this "elite" nonsense please provide the proof of all these ISU fans that are saying that.
No, 6 straight berths isn't elite, but it's damn impressive for a non blue blood. In order to crack the top 10 in consecutive berths (all-time) you'd have to go to 15 straight. Within those 10 teams, only one isn't a blue blood (Gonzaga). We are tied for 6th in active streaks at 5, about to be 6. Depending on what happens with MSU, we could move up to a 5th place tie.
