If "taking care of business at home" means winning them all, you have us needing to win 13 or 14 conference games and 1 or 2 in the BIG 10 tournament to PROBABLY make the NCAA?

"Taking care of business at home" means 6-3 or better at home during the conference slate. i am not expecting Iowa to run the table at home. Mike23 is correct an overall 11-7 conference mark will probably be good enough, maybe even 10-8.

Honestly, 9-9 is going to be enough this year. We are set up so much better than we have been in any of the previous seasons under Fran. RPI doesn't care what teams you actually beat either so just find a way to get to .500 in the conference and we'll be in comfortably, not a great seed obviously but not in the play-in game either.

I am with you on this, barring injuries I think iowa is in the tournament.......There is room for debate on where the program should be at given FM's tenure, but that can wait until the season ends.

I'll go ahead and discuss it now, the program is in a great place given FM's tenure.

Agreed, looking at three straight NCAA tournament appearances and a good chance for a senior class to graduate without ever having a losing conference record. Might be a little dip next year but really like where we're headed after that.

Going 6-3 at home means beating no top 25 teams and losing to one unranked team. That's not really taking care of business if you ask me.

ehhh, Purdue will likely be a top 25 team.....Northwestern,Indiana and Michigan could get on a run come B1G play and be a top 25 team by time they show up at Carver.....None of this matters, barring a rash of injuries i think Iowa makes the tournament.
 
Top 25 wins mean nothing, it's top 50 rpi wins that matter. I think we'll be closer to winning the conference than being on the bubble.
