Fair enough.

Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky and others would all like to know who lasalle, MTSU, st Mary's and Boise st beat as well... I'm listening

It's not just iowa that I'm upset with not being in. It's teams from power conferences that play more than half their schedule against teams equal or better than this teams best win and only win close to it that get punished. Against the only teams with a pulse this team lost. It's the flaw in a...

When this is your résumé, yes, I'll get worked up every time. Date Opponent (Expected RPI) Conf Loc Score Outcome Prob(W) Spread 11-9 Alabama St. (328.0) SWAC H 97-53 W 100% 0.0 11-13 Savannah St. (166.0) MEAC A 55-58 W 100% 0.0 11-18 Florida (6.0) SEC N 66-45 L 0% 0.0 11-20 Central Florida...

Exactly. Play 3 games against the likes of duke, gonzaga and Kansas. Hope you win one, but if you don't oh well. The rest of your ooc can be patsies. Win 8-10 league games and you are golden.

While true and I understand why Fran did what he did. The point remains a 50 point loss to a top 50 rpi team on the road is better than a 50 point win at home against a scrub. Iowa could have afforded a few more losses this year if it was New Mexico and duke they lost to.

Yes, I know. I'm just curious what our rpi woulda been if say they would have matched those numbers or slightly improved. Minus South Carolina st or whoever that was almost the worst team the others coulda probably have ranged anywhere from 200-347 with a couple more wins. Those teams all suck...

I would have to say its kind of a crapshoot to guess what teams are gonna suck the least. Yes you can generally gauge a team by what they return and clearly if they will be around the top 100. Guessing whether a team will finish from 250-350 prolly not so much. More 250 and less 300 and we may...

That's because my posts generally bring info or positive insight to this board. You know, all those things you tend to avoid. I also won't get involved in ******* matches so I will let you have the last word. Carry on

Yes we need to schedule a few of them and also a duke or gonzaga on the road. Even if we get waxed by 40 our rpi will go up every time they play. MTSU says hello

Why are you here? Find me 10 posts out of your 1,248 that are positive towards Iowa? We get it already...

This is his point. They beat no one. They just didn't lose to any bad teams either. Virginia had 6 top 50 wins. More than all the last 4 combined I believe. They lost to some ****** teams. Hence they ain't dancing either Edit to that I didn't fully read your post in regards to the losses...

I had zero expectations for Iowa to receive a bid. I don't think they were snubbed. I just think the rpi is bunk

To expand on this point. You could play a top 10 team and lose by 20. Have your best win be Nebraska and every game you win is against teams worse than them and as long as you win you get an invite. Yes MTSU played the "#9" ranked ooc schedule. They got rolled by anyone with a pulse. Nice formula

Iowa to face Indiana State in NIT opener | TheGazette They were considered

It really was a weak bubble this year. Like terrible. Jay bilas said it best. For the bubble teams it wasn't who you beat but who you didn't lose to...1 top 100 gets you in the tourney so long as you beat every other scrub team you play. It's not whining, it's just dumb...

There are a few teams in the tourney that lost to those teams. Just sayin

Obviously meant st and I posted well before announced or posted. Whatever...

If memory serves me correctly, former assistant coach Greg Lansing is the head coach at Indiana st. Coincidence?
