I think Iowa gets into the NIT

[storminspank]

Maybe it's because I'm at the hospital extremely excited as I wait for my next child to be born, but I think Iowa gets into the NIT as a 4 seed.

And, if not, at least Selection Sunday was exciting for me again.

Don't you have more important things to do?

 

[DexterMorgan]

is there an NIT selection show?

congratulations . about 1-2 months ago I thought it would take 18 to get in, but the win over Wisconsin and the wekening of the bubble tells me 17 is indeed enough especially with 4 top 25 wins.

I think you are right.

And congratulations!

Spank, congrats! Hope your gut feeling is right. Over/under on what is known first, gender of child or Iowas post season fate?

Congrats Spank! We just had our second on Tuesday. It's been an exciting March, hopefully the Hawks get the chance to play a little longer!

Congrats Spank! I hope you are right.

haha, my wife is just resting now, waiting for things to develop.
So pretty calm, she gets to read her Nook and I get to talk Iowa. Good for both of us in between contractions

Are you naming the new one Fran by any chance?

We don't know the sex or have any names, but I can say that it's not going to be named Fran.

Spank, if we do get in the NIT, I hope your kid won't prevent you from breaking down the other 31 NIT teams by tomorrow morning. The NIT starts on Tuesday and your going to be able to spend time with your kid for many years, so make the right choice.

Is this just based on pure optimism or always predicting the opposite of Pat Harty?

100% adrenaline-fueled optimism and the fact that I can't believe the NIT would take MN and ILL over Iowa. That's just ridiculous.

May I suggest using the opposite Pat Harty strategy in the future....its gold jerry, gold!

Congrats on the baby to be - hope everything goes well!

Child first. I'm confident of that. This one is going way faster. Thank goodness for my wifey.

Hey Spank will you be hosting a chat for this event?

 

[CRHawk2002]

I think an NIT bid is a long shot. But I will watch the NIT selection with hope. Thats a start I guess

But that's the great thing about the name Fran, it's gender neutral. You don't need to know the sex.
