Iowa a #3 Seed in NIT..
- Thread starter HawkPrdatr40
- Start date
The first bolded statement is correct, the second is not. The seed is the reality of our resume, not how the program is viewed. As we heard from several analysts this weekend, Iowa is better than many of the at-large teams that made it in, and the KenPom and Sagarin rankings reflect this too., but we just are missing the one big win that would put us in.

"Alex I would like: Things Stanford said last year for $500."
I will concede that point but think it is 2-3 wins not just one.
didn't that baylor team beat the overall #1 NCAA tournament seed just a couple weeks back about the same time Iowa was losing to nebbie?
Baylor is ahead of Iowa because they have proven they're better
Baylor is just lucky they aren't in the B10, if you can't even beat NW at home you'd be in for a long year in the B10.
/one game sample sizes are fun

I don't remember Baylor beating (or even playing) Iowa this year.
Baylor can win on any night and lose on any night. Baylor at it's best is better than Iowa at its best.
They also succeed at times despite having a terrible coach in scott drew

GIVE ME A HUGE BREAK ONE MORE TIME!
What kind of village idiots turned away potential gate revenue's of a fan base that is likely going to draw 10-15,000 for home games?
Baylor holds like 7000 max and they will be lucky to get half of that with an 18 win team that lost at home to Northwestern!
This is a near bankrupt tournament from what I have heard and in this economy they turned away the opportunity for some big crowds in multiple games. Wow! I am going to laugh at the crowd that Baylor and some of the other teams draw that are 1 and 2 seeds. Southern Miss! You bet they'll draw at least 10,000.
I have to really question our Athletic Director as I cannot believe he was not lobbying up-front with the committee to encourage us a 1 or 2 seed so we can get 2-3 home games. Take a look at what our draw for Dayton was last year. Yes we are disappointed not making the big dance, but the fan base is not disappointed to see more of this team. Kentucky can't even play at home for the first game so they have to go to Robert Morris that holds like 3000 max!

I would disagree, Iowa is 4-0 against common opponents with Baylor while they are 0-3. Baylor can't defend like Iowa does.

NIT is not bankrupt...maybe back in 2005 before the NCAA bought them.
I would think someone like you would refrain from speaking in absolutes.
However, that would mean Iowa was a legi bubble team. This seed does not exactly support that notion.
