Are close loses to good teams enough

[longtimer]

to get us in? 9-9 One big win against Michigan. OK good win against Ohio State when they were in a funk. Playing horrible down the stretch. no big wins in the non conference. If we lose 1st game in Big Ten Tournament I just dont see how we deserve to be in!
I cant bring myself to watch them in the NIT

Will Iowa get in? Yes. Does Iowa DESERVE to get in? That's the question and we all know the answer now dont we..............

2 wins against the top 40.

5 wins over the top 50 and no bad losses.. way to skew that one champ.

Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades

Here's a thought for any Iowa fans with doubts. Go to ANY credible bracketology or bubble watch that you can find. Find me one where Iowa's tournament hopes are in question. (Hint: you can't).

Illinois at home is a bad loss?

No bad losses is a really bad thing to hang your hat on.
