The Fran fade

You are not wrong... If the Hoks and ISU make the NCAA tournament, neither is likely to make any kind of a run.

We both just want the chance. Tournament is so unpredictable. Your side of the bracket could get busted.
 
Ignoring Q1 records but substituting in record against other tourney teams pretty much yields the same result. Iowa is 1-7 against teams in discussion for NCAA tourney. That says they may struggle in said tourney if they make it.
 
If the Hoks were in the Big 12, they would likely be bringing up the rear. Can't think of a single team they would beat twice in the Big 12.
You think most Big 12 teams could solve that vaunted 3/4 court press that Fran terrorizes the B1G with?!
 
why do i have to see hawk **** on a cyclone m. board i care about the cyclones seen swawks once this year and we kick there ass doesnt sound like to many teams in the big 10 play defence like the big 12

Not sure why everyone is bent on Iowa cracking the top 25. What does it really matter?
Some of it has to do with Iowa having a weak resume. Most of it has to do with it being our rival, who we beat handily and have the exact same record.

But you’re right. We’re getting to the point of the year where it really doesn’t matter anymore.

ISU could win a couple if the defense is back to how it was when we were playing our best non-con ball. However, shooting woes won't carry them too far.
 
Do people feel like ISU is a lock at this point or do they need another W?

I think Iowa needs to win two more to be on the bubble and feel they might need three to be a lock.

One more W for play-in game

Two more W for lock

I think Iowa will win easily tonight, Sparty is a bit overrated, has lost 4 or last 5 and have no real "guy." With the Garza jersey thing and the Barstool Bench Mob guys being in town, Carver might actually have some fans in it tonight. LOL.

74-66 Iowa.
 
Franisdaman on HR is brainwashed or something. He must wipe Frank and Luka's Garza's behind with his drool. Everyone is pleading to help sell out CHA. Even Garza. Students how arrive early get a free #55 T-shirt. Going to extremes to celebrate an NBA bench player, considering he was NPOY last season. Keep up the ballwashing and begging people to buy tickets Franisdaman!!

According to the stat nerds, ISU needs 20 wins to be at 95+%, Iowa needs 22+. But for whatever reason, they also like Iowa to win 22 games to make it as a $9 seed. They think ISU only wins 20 and gets a #9 seed also.

They need to have a similar model for being bowl eligible. The B1G West would need 10 wins minimum.
 
what? That is ridiculous! Heck, there was a sellout crowd during a snowstorm for the Baylor game earlier this year.
It's a moving goal post too. When it was brought up to them that the last Tuesday at 6 pm game (Like Iowa's tonight) was a 95% capacity game, it was then shifted to "well, you were playing number 10 Kansas and we're playing unranked Michigan State".
