You have to be good enough to overcome it, like ISU did vs. Baylor.
Seemingly never ending Iowa MBB thread (still going.....)

Does he play point guard, or is he just another kid who can shoot against crappy high school kids in Eastern Iowa?
I find the "robbed at Minnesota" argument a little off-putting. There are so many calls in the course of a year that to claim one call cost you a trip to the tournament is absurd. Frankly, there were a handful of calls last night that went against Wisconsin, so if anything you can call it even.
The Omaha and Memphis losses hurt just as bad as not winning the Minnesota game. Heck, take away the Omaha loss by itself and you are looking at 19-12(10-8), that might have been good enough to get in regardless of how the BTT goes.
Of course those hurt a bunch, but Iowa was outplayed in those games and deserved to lose. Minny not so much.
Wieskamp is pretty damn good dude. Top 40 player in the country. If he was going to Iowa State you wouldn't be saying what you are saying about him.
What if they didn't have Pete Jok though? Yikes, Weiskamp isn't coming until 2018 and no more double teams or teams focusing their D on PJ.
How can you say Iowa didn't deserve to lose Minnesota but they deserved to win last night when they were gifted 3 points? The Minnesota game was just a change of possession because Ellingson put himself in a terrible spot. Last night was WAY worse
I could totally see that happening also. They have shown no consistency to keep this up all year. Beat Purdue, then lose to Nebraska, rinse and repeat.
This is why this thread is so long. It's like the special ed class hok fans have to stay in high school until they are old enough to drink.

From what I see, they are a young, developing team who has benefited from playing in a historically bad conference. If they somehow squeaked in, I don't think they'd have a fighting chance against a 6-7 seed. Nice, over-achieving bunch, but not good enough to make any noise in the tournament.
Might of dropped Iowa State a seed line, but with how hot they are and the wins they're accumulating it might not matter in the end.
Weiskamp actually has the exact same composite ranking as Wiggington, I dont know how any ISU fan wouldnt want the kid.
