Hawks Will Need at Least 11 Total B1G Wins

Looking at the bubble teams, I just don't see anything better than an Iowa team who finishes 10-8, except for Illinois.

Lunardi has Arizona State, St John's and St. Mary's as the last four in. I don't see much that's much better than the hypothetical 10-8 Iowa team.

St. Mary's has a good record but it's the WCC and there's not really a win that stands out and they lost to a UNI team that Iowa beat.

Arizona has a decent win at UCLA but they got blown out at home by freaking DePaul

And St. Johns sucks, I don't get why they are in.
 
That's not everything. It's a big thing, but they also look at the intangibles. That's why they have a committee and not just RPI like the BCS or something. I think our intangibles look good. There are some teams we have absolutely pounded.

First highlighted part: Just wondering what these might be.

Second highlighted part: Who has Iowa pounded? A bad Northwestern (13-11) team twice by double digits, but then who? I don't see another double-digit win except for the Coppin States, Texas Pan-Americans and Howards of the world, and I highly doubt the committee cares about those.

I'm not trolling, I'm honestly just trying to understand the general sentiment that Iowa gets into the NCAA tournament with basically two decent "resume" wins that came over teams that aren't weren't ranked.

Obvious troll is obvious. I'm not even going to dignify this with an answer.
