Iowa vs ISU sweet 16...

No one's looking past anyone. This is tournament time and looking at potential, future match ups is fun.
Why is it fun? You can speculate all year long about any team and it's probably not going to happen. You will have all week next week to talk about it if it does.
 
Iowa will have to get past Davidson, then North Dakota State first...

Okay, would a better question be, if Iowa had to lose, would you rather have it be to NDSU/Gonzaga or ISU in the sweet 16? I don't include Davidson, because I don't think any Hawk fan would want that. I would almost rather lose to NDSU/Gonzaga than make the sweet 16 and lose to ISU. Obvious best case would be Iowa over ISU. Though it wouldn't surprise me if people would rather beat UAB in the sweet 16.
 
Iowa's made it to the sweet 16 once in my life. I would absolutely rather lose to Iowa State in that round.

I'm speculating now, because I may not be able to if one of the two teams doesn't make it to the sweet 16.
 
I did pick Iowa to finish the regular season 6-0 so I am feeling confidant about my predictions. Today I have not enough time to research SMU much, so I will predict the SMU UAB game later. I know Iowa can beat either of those teams though.
 
I found good news about Iowa vs potential opponents in this bracket. All time series; vs Davidson 1-0, vs NDSU 7-0, vs Gonzaga 2-0, vs UAB 1-0, vs SMU 5-1. That is a combined 16-1 I like that.
 
Good luck guys -> no offense but i personally don't want to meet you in the Sweet 16 ;) Wish we were on separate sides of the bracket so i could cheer you the hawkeyes all the way though, but it may not be possible.

I'm the same way. Want nothing to do with iowa in the tourney. Really bummed about the draw because even if we go to the sweet 16 somebody's road HAS to end there.

For the same reason it's fun to project our conference record every year or anything else.

But if this happens the state of Iowa will be represented in the Elite 8...only upside.
 
C'mon bruh, it has been a decade since Iowa legitimately got into the tournament, 14 years since Iowa won a game. We can have a little fun and speculate a bit.:)

I'm hoping we have a lot of fun but I thought the way we were playing before we lost to Penn State in the BTT I was thinking we would get a second shot at Wisconsin in the BTT. I will be optimistic and say we will when we meet them in the final four. There how's that? :)
 
I'm just tired of being in Duke's bracket. That's gunna be a tough win.

Call me crazy (many do), but I just believe that a team that doesn't win its conference in the regular season and doesn't win its conference tournament should NOT be a #1 seed.

I agree. I felt Arizona deserved a 1 over Duke. You make a solid case that the top 3 teams in the country right now are Kentucky, Wisconsin, & Arizona and they're all on the same side of the bracket.
 
No one is gonna hire you as a tout anytime soon.

You didn't watch Jimmy Jackson on the Big Ten Network, did you? He was talking about our potential second round opponent being SMU and how Larry Brown's experience on the sideline will do us in. Seriously. I'm not making it up. Check out Big Ten Basketball and Beyond, watch the show (unless they edit it). I watched it twice just to be sure I wasn't hallucinating. Yup, he did say it!
