Iowa 16th in AP
- Thread starter Niemo
- Start date
I can't say that Iowa should be ranked higher. After back-to-back-to-back losses to unranked teams, the only argument is whether Iowa should be ranked at all. If things don't improve, I could see Iowa losing at home to Indiana, on the road to Michigan, and then one and done in the B10 tourney. We'd probably be a 7 seed at best in that scenario and ripe to get bounced by the 10 seed in the NCAA tourney.
The sky is falling. We've heard the players exude confidence and proclaim that they believe not only in winning the B10, but a national championship as well. Then there was the players-only meeting that was going to turn things around. But nothing has changed on the court. Not sure how these guys are going to turn it around but it is looking like they peaked way too soon. Hopefully turning the page on February helps.

That is actually better than I thought it would be. I really thought we'd be outside the top20 after losing both Wed and Sunday.
None of it matters unless we can win at least 1 of the next two though, and even more importantly, find whatever magic this team had prior to the first Indiana game.
Find it Hawks, dammit, find it.

That's fair IMO. Kenpom has us at 14 and Sagarin at 16. Win 2 this week and we will be knocking on the door of the Top 10 again. Go 1-1 and we will probably drop a couple more spots. Lose 2 and we will barely be in the rankings next week or just out of the ranking.

When Iowa wins tomorrow night will you be editing all of your posts again like last time? Just curious.

Watched'em all. I don't know if they'll win either game this week, but I know they can, cause I also watched their first 20 games.
bookmark that post, just in case you need to make an edit or 2.
It's easier to continue down the same path than to start a new one, but it is possible to turn it around.

I have no idea about that of which you speak.
By Wednesday, that post will read "I'm not quite sure what you mean. But if we all stay positive, your meaning will become clear".

The Team is in a funk and for anyone who has played this game knows, that funk could end in a big way Tuesday Night. This team has talent to play out of it that's for damn sure!!

It really does feel this way doesn't it? Of course they can turn it around, but we've been saying that for the past month. Literally every game we've been asking "Does this wake the team up?"
The team is gassed, and they APPEAR to have nothing left.
Could be wrong
That's the encouraging part. It just takes one game, one bad loss or one great win to turn things around.
