Iowa is not playing into the tournament. I already said they are in. They are playing into the seeded field. It's funny that the NCAA changed the term play in game to 1st round and people bought it.

Why don't they assign seeds for all 68 teams?

Nope, it's a play in game. I don't care what you and/or the NCAA calls it. Just because they don't call it a play in game doesn't mean that isn't what it is. Iowa made the tourney, but most everyone knows that they seed 64 teams, not 68. So, Iowa is playing Tennessee to be assigned a seed...

I see seed #11 next to Iowa/Tenn. Play In means you are playing to get into the seeded field. You can't have 2 seeds with the same number (it's really all about the math).

I never said that Iowa wasn't in the tourney (see 1st sentence). However, you can't have 2 of the same numbered seeds in the same region. There are only 64 seeds. The game is played and the winner gets the 11 seed. That's a play in game. Why does it matter what the NCAA calls it?

Not if Mercer beats Duke. :)

Just what this team needs :) Junior guard Bryce Dejean-Jones done playing for UNLV - Las Vegas Sun News Dejean-Jones was the team’s leading scorer this season, but made less than 30 percent on 3-pointers and caused some headaches away from the court. Dejean-Jones was suspended after...

Bird is on the left. :)

Duke was a #2 seed 2 years ago playing in Greensboro, NC. Lost to #15 Lehigh. :)

This would be some kind of a record. :)

Iowa is in the NCAA tourney. However, they are in a play in game. Why? Because the NCAA only seeds 64 spots. You really can't have two #11 seeds in one region (math doesn't work). If this were really true, the universe would slip into a vortex and we would all die. Iowa and Tennessee are playing...

I still call them play-in games for 2 reasons: 1) Both teams in that game get the same seed and are playing in for the right to that seed (1-16). 2) You don't need to pick the first 4 games to win Warren Buffet's billion dollar perfect bracket. :) That said, if Iowa gets one of the 1st 4...

Was just going to post this - also to show how related to Iowa football (LeGrand is Iowa football recruit). :)

Here's the story from DM Reg http://www.desmoinesregister.com/article/20140312/SPORTS08/303120168/1019/SPORTS08/?odyssey=nav|head

Nice win for Horner tonight. WDM Valley upsets Dubuque Senior at State. Interesting ending. Senior hits a game tying 2 pointer with almost no time (.5) remaining. However, refs also call a foul on Senior going for possible rebound. Valley gets one and one and Marble hits 1st FT to allow Valley...

Always optimistic ... sign from 45 years ago (that's right, 1969).

No women's B1G team has ever won 4 games in 4 days in the tourney. Iowa made a run. Fight Fight Fight for Iowa.
