Are We a Lock for a Postseason Tournament?

[DunderMifflinHk]

Or do we have to win a game or two in the BTT? I'm talking about any of the tournaments. What do you guys think?

Probably. Aren't there 4 now? It's not terribly hard to make one, especially if you are a major conference team that can draw more than 4k.

Yeah but I think one of those lower tourneys only takes mid major teams.

As of today:

NCAA- No chance unless Iowa wins Big 10 tournament
NIT- No chance unless Iowa wins 3 games in Big 10 tournament
CBI- Lock. If Iowa wants to play in it
CIT- Lock. If Iowa wants to play in it

This is the way I see it.

I think they are a lock for the CBI but can play their way into the NIT with 2 wins in the BTT.

Our next loss will be our last this season.
No tourney.

I think 1 win may get them into the NIT. Beating Illinois on a neutral court should give them the edge since we also finished ahead of them in the regular season. Also i dont see how you put Minnesota in after we swept them. At this point i think we should be cheering for Northwestern to get an NCAA bid because i think the NIT will take at least 1 Big Ten team.

 

[HawkForce]

I don't think we will be playing in any post season tourney unless we win 2 at BTT.

I mean maybe CBI or something....but really does anyone care about that? they're like scrimmages.

 

[jameskalina]

If Iowa loses on Thursday I think an NIT invite is still a possibility, although less than 50-50.

If the Hawks win on Thursday then an NIT invite is a probability.

Win two and the NIT is a lock.

As for the NCAA I think Iowa needs at least 3 tournament wins for an invite. Obviously 4 tournament wins would cement the deal.

 

[HawkeyeRyno]

If Iowa loses Thursday they are 16-16 overall. I don't know that gives Iowa a postseason berth. Wasn't ISU 15-15 last season and they didn't get any postseason tournament?

 

[storminspank]

In the CBI if they accept.
NIT with 2 BTT wins.

 

[Hawkjammer]

I am just praying for a CBI first round match up with Miami(Ohio) at Carver Hawkeye.

Go Hawks!!!!

I hope Miami (OH) doesn't get a bid, they are 9-20.

Would love to make NIT as I feel 4 in 4 is perhaps expecting too much based on consistency or lack thereof this season. The extra practice time would be great and any extra games would be a great reward for those seniors that stuck around.

 

[djwoody98]

I'd love to see it for the young guys. I don't think the NIT is realistic. Leaning CBI.

Anything is better than sitting at home after the reg season.

You know that's not true.

 

[ssckelley]

ghost, don't start!!!

 

[GhostofBTT]

ghost, don't start!!!

I didn't start it!

Undoubtedly......

We do have this in our favor.....

"According to Jeff Sagarin's computer poll, today, the IOWA HAWKEYES are one of only 12 teams in America to defeat 4 Top 25 teams, this season."

Found this on another site, two days ago.....
