***OFFICIAL NCAA SELECTION SHOW THREAD***

Gotta win for me to count it as an NCAA appearance, sorry Fran.

This. A play-in loss isn't a real tournament appearance.

Lol seriously? Some of you guys are pathetic. Nebraska has been playing damn good basketball while Iowa has been crapping down their legs.

I could care less if it is a play in game. Bring it on. At least the Hawks have a chance.

But recent performance should not be a factor. Instead, beating Nebraska should be a factor. Guess they didn't realize Iowa beat the Huskers. I think the committee likes Miles more than McCaffery.

Chanticleers?

I see references to "Play In Game" a lot for us. I bet the "Play In Game" phrase correction crew is really busy now.

IT'S THE FIRST ROUND!

 

[tm3308]

Wow. I thought we were out when I saw Nebby was in and that the Pac 12 got 6 teams.

I was starting to sweat a little, honestly.

 

[HawkeyeShane]

I'm guessing Iowa's playing at 5:30 or 8:00 Wednesday night

Sweet...Tuesday was going to interrupt my NCIS, NCIS-LA and Person of Interest night!

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

Have to play in to be the #11...eek.

You excited yet?

 

[Auggie]

Basically, the committee didn't want to take Iowa, but, had to.

ISU us a 3 seed. Puke

 

[BILLBUCKNER]

Wow the Big10 tourney did nothing to elevate MSU. Wiscy a 2 seed?

This. A play-in loss isn't a real tournament appearance.

Yes it is. Don't denigrate this accomplishment. Just cheer for your clones.

 

[bcl20]

I'm kind of shocked they considered the last 10 so much. They didn't really care about it last year with Minnesota and I'll take our resume over at least BYU's. I think we got RPI'd again.

According to the bonus in Fran's contract, it is.

 

[okeefe4prez]

Congrats to ISU.

 

[SonofaSailor]

I'll be honest...I thought they were out when I saw NC State.

 

[1hawkeye1]

they gave iowa a game without actually putting them in the tournament

 

[MiniMoeHawk]

is NC Central any good? lol

 

[HawkeyeMike23]

NC Central is pretty good, not the best possible 14 draw for ISU

 

[HawkeyeShane]

Have to admit that I thought ISU would get a 2 seed.
