Are you suggesting that what the article said about Iowa is less true because it appeared on Yahoo Sports web page?
The "trend is your friend" and it appears that if Iowa basketball were a stock it would have been wise to sell a few games ago.
Can you provide any evidence that would support a solid rebuttal to YS's contention?

Who cares... Couldn't have been said last year or the year before that or the one before that or...

There was also a Louisville team that lost a couple late games, early exit out of tournament...and if memory serves me right they made a deep run

Sorry another thought...bracketology has us playing St. Louis and they are listed in that group of 4.

If Iowa plays St. Louis in the first game, Iowa will be playing a second game!

And unfortunately I think Louisville will be the #2 seed in iowa's region. The other 2 seeds will probably be Iowa state, Villanova, and Wisconsin and/or Michigan. We can't meet up with any of those teams in the 2nd round since we've played them before so lucky us, Louisville (who just beat Rutgers by 60) will be there for us if we somehow find a way to win our first game.
LOL, we couldn't handle BIG doormat Northwestern on a neutral floor and now we are beating St. Louis in an NCAA tourney game? Have you seen the way the past 10 games have been played? If they play the way they've been playing, it doesn't matter who they get in the first round, they will lose. Now...if they could pull their heads out of their a****.....

St. Louis has been playing bad hoops the past 2 weeks, and lost to awful teams along the way. And Iowa will rebound from their doldrums. It's time to show up.

Exactly, if we play the way the last...what 4 weeks have indicated...we will NOT beat anyone. That is a fact...They have the talent...but right now this team couldn't beat Briar Cliff.

Article shouldn't suprise anybody... I think we are all aware that we are limping into the tourney.
I'm not saying we would be St. Louis if we played them but I'd much rather take a shot at them than another team that is in stride and playing good ball.

I say match us up with the big boys in the first round...if we really have sorted things out...we will probably be competitive if not beat them...if we have not sorted things out...it doesn't matter so might as well wrap this season up.
Bring on a UCONN or Louisville.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Louisville is like a 2 seed, not sure about UCONN, but we won't be playing a 2 seed.

We could and should beat SLU.
Pitino however will treat us like fresh prison meat.

I think my point still stands... Were gonna be a 10-11 seed so we'll play a 6 or 7 seed nothing close to the caliber of a team like Louisville.

The difference between a 6/7 and a 1-2 isn't necessarily all that dramatic...
