How likely is Iowa to make it to NYC assuming they win the first round

[HaydenHawk56]

and have to go the "hardest route" @Umass and @Virginia? I can't remember the last time we won at an ACC venue.

First round is CHA. Love that. Road games could be a bit of a challenge.

I wouldn't book your motel just yet. While 2 consecutive road wins against teams with winning records isn't Powerball jackpot odds or anything, it is like 5 numbers right in the Powerball odds.

Virginia has some of the worst losses of any major conference team this year. There's a good chance, we could have another home game if we can get by UMass.

I'm assuming UMass still has Marcus Camby (how else would they get a 2 seed) and he will give Woodbury and Olaseni some problems.

Can anybody remember anything good coming from winning the NIT Championship?

Nope, Dr. J.

Road games could be a bit of a challenge? Will be MAJOR challenge..

Iowa won 2 games on the Road all year Penn State and Northwestern. Not good..

Not really. Anything bad come from it?

Yeah, they can spell your school's name wrong on the shirt.

From endlessly breaking down a no chance shot to make the real tourney to breaking down the NIT, I love March!

I can already see the kid in Africa running around with the "IONA NIT CHAMPIONS" t-shirt if we lose in the final game.

I agree.

I don't seen anything bad coming from winning 5 games in a row including 2 on a neutral court at MSG. It's a nice way to send off Eric May and it's a good confidence builder for road games next year. Let's win the championship and see if it's good or bad. I have no doubt it will feel real good to me and my friends that are Hawk fans.

Does anyone remember the champs, period?

 

[bcl20]

Michigan won it one year I think. That's all I got.

 

[bcl20]

Oh, and West Virginia.

 

[WindsorHawk]

I think Iowa has a good chance to win the NIT. We'll see what happens but our defense is going to make things very hard on our opponents.

Clown fans are going to be pretty upset when we're holdin' a trophy and putting a banner inside Carver next year.

Is that the Mythical State Champion banner? It would be funny just to get a rise out of the clowns.
