Maryland has lost home games to Iowa and Nebraska...yikes

Oklahoma State would have beat them too, when they weren't playing all that well, but Maryland got every call down the stretch.

Big win for Iowa. Without Baylor, they will have a good shot to win the whole tournament this year.

The great thing about the Iowa win is that it'll get their fanbase actually believing they have a shot for the NCAA tournament. Raise up those hopes to get them crashing down one more time this season.

Another solid win boys. Freshmen and sophs. Crazy. Impressed with all this young talent.

I don't think any rational fan thinks Iowa has any shot of making the dance this year. (Insert your "most Iowa fans aren't rational" response.)

For those of you saying Iowa has no shot at NCAA without reading what I wrote. They jumped 15 RPI slots today. Beat Wis & PSU, 20 more

Does Iowa have a shot at an at-large NCAA bid? Yes, and I show you the math and history to prove it: https://www.hawkeyenation.com/basketball/iowa-shot-ncaa-tournament … #Hawkeyes




That didn't take long to find.

Jon Miller isn't rational. Iowa's only chance at even sniffing the bubble is if they win out and go to the finals of the BTT. Everybody knows that isn't going to happen. Therefore again I state, No rational Iowa fan thinks Iowa has a shot at the tourney.

Miller is a typical Iowa fan. The media in the state are going to be all over Iowa as a bubble team this week. The same media that said ISU was a bubble team 3 weeks ago because of their up and down play.

The problem though is that the B1G is SO weak this year that Iowa could very well make a run to the B1G Championship game and even win it if they play like they did yesterday. Who in the B1G can't Iowa beat?

I'd be SO ticked if Iowa were to somehow make the tourney. Granted, it's a near impossibility, but I'd rather know that their door is completely shut.

RPI is 95 so they can talk all they want. Anyone who understands basic metrics knows that it is highly improbable that Iowa even comes close to the bubble.

Who gives a **** about Iowa? When you're one of their "key" wins on selection Sunday, that's how you know you're a far superior program/team.

And they are one of your "bad" losses too.

If Texas didn't suck so bad it would be ISU's worse loss.

If Fran wasn't 0-34 in the B1G tournament they might have a chance.

Correct. The only chance at making the NCAA bubble is if Iowa wins their next four games and gets to the Big Ten tournament final. This will not happen.

Well, they were a bubble team as of Feb. 3, then they won 6 of 7, making them not a bubble team.

This. Their ceiling is one BTT win

If only Fran recruited better
