I don't think the committee can take Cuse over Iowa if we are sitting at 19-14. Even at 18-14 Iowa has a better resume' IMO but of course Cuse would get in on name recognition.
Either way one down. Let's hope a couple other bubble teams lose and Iowa can find a way to win Thursday.

Their 3 wins...duke, FSU and Virginia were ALL at home. Hell Syracuse even lost @Wisconsin...Iowa won there. People have some weird hard-on for Syracuse and its sickening. Bracket Matrix right now has them, subject to change after the loss today. They do not deserve to get in.

They lost to St Johns by 30 @ home. That should be automatic disqualification.

If we beat Indiana we will move over Syracuse. If we lose Syracuse will likely get in. I had this game as the most pivotal. I think Iowa and Syracuse were interchangeable as tourney teams and I think if we beat Indy we are in.

I agree. How many times will their high RPI NCAA berth followed by a Final Four appearance last year get mentioned between now and Sunday...by the talking heads?

There you have it. And the Selection Committee supposedly looks at this level of detail when it gets down to the last few at large bids. Most all of us agree that we have to beat IN which makes this comparison favor Iowa even more.

Duke taking out Clemson would take out another potential bubble team.

I'm definetly interested in the Michigan/ILL game.
2 Big Ten Bubble teams and I dont think they'll take both with the national perception of the conference being down.

Michigan's plane had issues getting off the ground and actually slid off the runway. Nobody was hurt but I'm not sure how this will impact their travel to DC.

Imo, if:
Baylor beats KSU
Michigan beats ILL
Iowa beats IU
We are in.

I don't think Michigan is on the bubble, they are in regardless so hope for them to knock off Illinois.
