The ACC is pretty clearly the best conference this year, but the big 10 really isn't that far behind. you could certainly make the argument that the big 10 is better because it's stronger top to bottom, but the top end (top 7ish) of the ACC is ahead of the big 10 pretty easily
Considering the fact that we are fans and not on the team, it's pretty easy to think about the sweet 16 and beyond. We don't need to Take it 1 game at a time. Our thoughts looking forward don't affect the players. If they did, the team would have some big issues
If OSU wins the tiebreaker doesn't go to head to head first with a 4 way tie. Not 100% what the tie breaker is there but I know for sure it's not H2H first
Iowa need to go deep in the BTT now and get up to a 6 seed and get away from the 1 or 2 in the second round. They get up to 6 and have a really good chance for a sweet 16 bid
a line-up doesn't determine if a team is in our out. Wins and losses do. Iowa was squarely IN before tonight. They are still in now but it's back on the bubble now
