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

K State isn't very good. Thanks for the NIT well wishes! Iowa will be in the NCAA next year, if you'd like to bet on that I'm game. I doubt you will as we both know Iowa will make it next year.

I think they will probably be an NIT team with an outside shot of just missing the tournament but losing the play in game. Losing Jok is going to really hurt you guys and your guard play will be pretty bad
 
How weak is the Big 10? 12 seed Middle Tenn is a pick-em vs 5 seed Minnesota and Maryland is only favored 1.5 over 11 seed Xavier...

The problem is that you predict it every year, but median play is a bottom of the bubble/NIT level.

I am sure one day you will be right, but why should we play along?

I never thought Iowa would make the NCAA this year. I hoped they would, but that is far different than thinking they would.

That's where I'm at for Iowa next year. Without Jok I don't think they will make it but they probably have an outside shot at it if the Big Ten is so bad again

Cool, sounds like we have a bet. What are the terms?

Kind of feel the same way actually. I think Cook will be improved, but not sure how much better the rest of the team can actually improve. I think they will be a bubble team again. Hard to imagine the Big 10 being this weak again, but guess you never know.

Hoping Garza can be a contributor, but not sure about the other two recruits. Not sold on McCaffrey after wathing him in the state tournament. Also, Garza's highlight videos look bad too, but he got a lot of solid offers so maybe there is something there I'm not seeing. Hoping that is the case.

Middle Tennessee over Minnesota is the most obvious "no brainer" in the history of 5 vs 12 seed upsets.

I've got all the Big 10 teams done by next Sunday.

Not a bad bet. I really only think Michigan and Maryland could get there. Maryland will beat Xavier and Florida St doesn't impress me. Michigan will get past OSU and has a shot of taking out Louisville, although I wouldn't bet on that at all, but it wouldn't shock me.

Didn't Michigan finish 10-8? I agree they'll beat Osu but they have no shot vs Louisville. People overestimate them because they got hot this weekend.

And Maryland has failed to get to the Sweet 16 when Trimble has actually had some good players around him. I don't see how they beat both of those teams.
