But if they were all in that range, we would probably have a top 25 SOS. That makes 5 losses look way better.
Hawks in the NCAA Tournament:
- Thread starter DunderMifflinHk
- Start date

It wouldn't be in the 25 if we didn't play a single top 100 team
If we didn't play a single sub 200 team? Hell yea it would. At least close to it.
No it wouldn't. You get a lot of credit for playing good teams
Like extra credit in the computer formula?
I'll ask it this way. Team a plays a team ranked 1 and a team ranked 350. Team be plays a team ranked 50 and a team ranked 300. Which team has a stronger SOS and by roughly how much. To me it's obvious team A has a much harder schedule. But if it works how I thought it did, they would be about the exact same.
I'm not sure. Do you know the answer to that?
Which would you prefer?
1. Good run in the NIT.
2. Quick exit from the NCAA in a play-in game.
I think most would prefer the NCAA because it has the opportunity to do more. However, the best I've see the fans act in recent years at the end of basketball season was after the good run in the NIT.

Nope. It was a legit question. I always hear how much terrible teams hurt you compared to really bad teams so just assume it was something close to an "add up all numbers and divide by the amount of games played" type of equation. Or something close to it. Anyone else know?
I'm pretty certain that isn't the case
It's a lot more fun to watch your team win than lose. That said, there are no guarantees for a quick exit.
The other thing is after every team plays one game, shouldn't half the teams be tied for first place and the other half be tied for last? Obviously some pretty season rankings come into play.

I pretty much do that.
NCAA for sure
Illinois is a must win. Of course, when you have to go at least 8-4 the rest of the year with at least 2 or 3 no chance games, they're all must wins.

Agreed. I consider myself a pretty big Iowa homer and I can pretty much say if we don't win our next two we are done as far as NCAA chances.

There's only one NCAA basketball tournament that matters.
With that said since I don't anticipate them to make the Big Dance, I certainly hope they get some post season action and as many extra games as possible for the young guys.

I would love to get into the tournament, but it would take a miracle. I'm good with a deep NIT run. Even without Jok, this team will be better next season and phenomenal the following season.
