All you do is bitch, about everything with dumb comebacks. Find a different team to root for.

Cincinnati is a good team, but against good competition their two interior players have gotten in foul trouble. When that happens they pack the defense in and give up 3 pointers. at least 10 times this year they've given up over 40% from three. They manage to hang in by being a good rebounding team. They have one real outside shooter - Jenifer who hits over 40%. This game is going to turn on making shots and staying away from live ball turnovers and rebounding. Cincinnati has struggled against good teams.

But you would have been totally cool had Iowa landed in DSM

You have to really wonder if Fran’s tantrum and berating the ref came into play with that seed and game?

More likely it was losing six of eight and the multiple double digit losses to teams in the top tier of our conference.
Bingo.
We have a 50 50 shot at this one, depends on us mostly, plus quality of their D. Great D and we fold up on both side of ball.

Of course, who wouldn't have been? But I would have been just as shocked if they had given Iowa that sort of advantage as they did Cincinnati. I'm a little surprised they put Minnesota in Des Moines as a 10 seed, that's an easy trip for Goofer fans down I-35.

This is March Madness people. Remember UNI over Kansas! There is hope. In this tournament expect some crazy outcomes. Maybe our Hawks can find the magic and make a nice run. Or on the other hand, we might just come out and look clueless. I say Hawks win game 1 with last second shot.

Some bracketoligist was on WSCR this morning and expressed concern for Tennessee's chances in a potential Cincinnati matchup, as well as Cincinnati's close proximity to Columbus vs Knoxville.
That tells you what he thinks of Iowa's chances. Not to mention that most of eastern Iowa is at least three hours further away from Columbus than Knoxville.

Nah I highly doubt that. I know the conspiracy theorists on this site like to pretend that Fran having a temper means the officials are out to get Iowa, but that's just not the case.

Yea, I am by no means a conspiracy theorist, as that is not my normal persona. But, what if there are 2-3 teams they are debating to place and it's rather close, and the tirade debacle is still rather fresh in the minds, couldn't you see the committee giving better situations to the better "conforming" teams. But, I guess this is not a NCAA committee but a committee made up of a variety of people.
