I'd have to imagine Iowa would have more fans than Stl if this is where both teams landed. Hawkeye fans are starved for March Madness and St. Louis is only 4 hours away from Iowa City.

Longer than that, I'm in Burlington and its 4 hrs drive to St.L

Iowa is projected as the #1 overall seed in the NIT at Yahoo Sports. Time will tell, but hey that's an upgrade from last year.

I'm not buying that, link because I can't find NIT projection on yahoo.

I see a link that has them In Tourny and ranked 37th out of the Those 68 teams he has in Tourny.

Pick up the pace Atomic. I lived in Burlington for 28 years and don't think it ever took me 4 hours to drive it. 220 Miles!


4 hours all 4 lane now from Iowa City to St. Louie that is no stops.. 260 miles. zoom-zoom!!

This. And look at the resume's of lower seed "in" teams compared to Iowa, there are some in worse shape. Wish I knew of an official list of potential bid stealing conf title games remaining.

NC State & St. Joes

 

[kctom]

They're the first team on this list so they wouldn't be on anyone's "last 4 in". They just said on college gameday that there are really only five potential bid-stealer teams left. Looks like it's 99% we're in.

A. Lucky to get in.
B. Beggars can not be choosers.
C. No easy runs or brackets.

Iowa State winning today would help. Michigan winning the B1G tournament would help. Just hate to see that RPI at 50-ish - the committee already has a reason (last 7 games) to base a surprise on.

 

[loesshillshawk]

Jerry Palm has the same match up, but has Iowa in the South Region where Louisville is the #2 seed.

We want no part of Louisville..plus Rick gets a ready made B1G scout from little Rick.

This, I have been watching Louisville in their conference tourney...I honestly think they might repeat.

 

[NEIChawk]

How the heck is St. Louis brutal please explain that comment to me??

I was just making the reference that St Louis is playing in their backyard, that's all.....it certainly isn't brutal in terms of travel....Hopefully that answers your question

This. I agree completely. 92-31 over a conference opponent in the conference tourney is insane. Then won by 30 yesterday.

NC State & St. Joes

Also Toledo vs Western Michigan
Toledo not a in now

Anybody who thinks this team is a lock is a fool.

Then A lot of the so-called experts that do this stuff called projecting every year are fools.

Get over your self loathing for a few minutes to see through the reality of it all.

I agree eith Thunderhawk.

Iowa loses 6 of last seven, 4 of rhise who arent good enough for the tourney, and loses to last place NW in BTT.

If they did not make the tourney, I can sure see why, so no, in my view, this team is not a lock...

Yet you are going to discount the the first 2/3rds of the season that earned them the right to be in the field? If the season had panned out in reverse and the Hawks went on a run similar to Nebraska would you feel better? Wiscy fans were ready to run Bo out of town because he had the audacity to lose 5 in a row.

Iowa's resume is not much to look at. 6-11 versus Top 100 RPI, only 2-6 against Top 25. Four bad losses in the past 3 weeks to unranked Minnesota, Indiana, Ilinois, and Northwestern.

Thunder has a point. A lock would be in on all 100% of the brackets out there. Right now Iowa is in on about 90% or so of the projections out there. So to me, that is not a lock.

This morning's Bracketology update by Lunardi has Iowa as a 10 playing Gonzaga in Raleigh with a possible 2nd round meeting against Duke

I like it. Iowa will beat Gonzaga, and they can match up with Duke pretty well.
