Gottlieb loves him some Fran.

St Marys just got slapped with failure to Monitor, im sure the NCAA wouldn't mind them sitting out.
NCAA hits St. Mary's basketball with 'failure to monitor' sanctions - latimes.com

Thats 3 teams (St. Marys, UK, and the "5th" A10 team) that are in that are in trouble IMO

 

[scullydirt]

A10 or Mountain West. Both leagues are projected to get 4 teams! That is a ton.

I believe the MWC has 5 teams with RPIs of 50 and better.

 

[ssckelley]

RPI of those that you claim not that far off.. Kentucky:50, St. Mary's: 44 Mississippi: 55, La Salle: 39 and Temple 38.. Not really that far off?? Ok..

Look beyond the RPI, Saint Mary's resume sucks.

 

[H8IAST8]

I believe the MWC has 5 teams with RPIs of 50 and better.

Are you suggesting they will get 5?

 

[scullydirt]

Are you suggesting they will get 5?

Possible, not likely, but they will get 4 for sure. Hopefully, one of those 4 will win their post-season tourney in Vegas, so a 5th team doesn't get in from that conference.

I just don't see how Iowa can get to the Dance this year unless they beat the Hoosiers and then get 22 wins overall.

Without Gesell, we are not beating both Indiana and Illinois. All this "big dance" stuff is crazy talk!!!

Look beyond the RPI, Saint Mary's resume sucks.

Tell that to the committee, if they will listen.

I'm just not as optimistic. You really feel Iowa is this close to the bubble ssc. I'm just not buying it. We just lost our PG, folks and in 2 hours will be discussing a 20 point beatdown..

 

[ssckelley]

I am not buying it either but using just the RPI sucks.

 

[hawkeyebob62]

Just put us in his last 5 in!

Meanwhile, Dave Revsine had us "out" on one of the radio shows this morning.

Frankly, even going 4-0 we need to win 2 games in BTT with Minny having knocked off Indy this past week.

B1G probably "deserves" 8 teams, but the NCAA Selection Committee has to kiss a$$ to Big East in b-ball, SEC in everything. Kentucky will probably get a 4-seed...

 

[pumpdog20]

I always put a lot of emphasis into what Doug Gottlieb says.

 

[bcl20]

I think we have to win the last two, win at least two in the BTT (probably, three). I think Illinois beats us at home though.

 

[tiberius]

I could see them getting in based on the excitement they bring, these 50 point games are electric.

 

[H8IAST8]

I think we have to win the last two, win at least two in the BTT (probably, three). I think Illinois beats us at home though.

YEP, have to win 4 in a row now.

 

[H8IAST8]

Baylor, UK, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, ISU, ASU, Colorado, Indiana St, Charlotte, all lost

 

[Gohawks123]

RPI is killing us. We are gonna need to jump 20 spots to make this happen.

 

[Gohawks123]

Boise with a big win. They move from outside to probably in now with that win against CSU.

 

[H8IAST8]

I dont think the MWC gets more than 4.

 

[volhawk50]

Look at our Resume vs. UK, St. Mary's, Mississippi, La Salle, Temple, etc. It really isnt that far off. And all this assumes we win at least 3 of our next 4.

Saw on College Gameday this morning when they did their blind resume thing, we were Team B going against Team A(Ole Miss)'s resume, and all of the experts preferred Iowa's resume. That was even before the Rebs lost to Mizzippi State. Rose, Bilas, Phelps, Gottlieb and Crean all believe we should be in. Hope that's a good sign.

 

[PalmettoHawkFan]

I don't think they beat illinois without gesell
