The season is on the brink in this one. If we don't come out and win by double digits today against a mediocre Purdue team AT HOME this could be another NIT year. At that point I've got concerns about Fran doing anything meaningful with this program other than 5th and 6th place conference finishes. Not what you'd call upper echelon program.
top 5 pr 6 in the big ten is a guaranteed tourney bid every year.
Lose the next 3 with a 1st round loss in the tournament and I'm not sure you'll be number 6 in the conference. You are already a 1/2 game behind Nebraska for Pete's sake. Yes number 5 in teh conference probably does it but you won't be there if you lose the last 3 games.
Jerry Palm was asked what Iowa has to do not to get in the dance. He responded not accept the invite. Iowa can lose out and still make the tourney.
19-13 gets in? I'm not so sure about that, but i seriously doubt we see that happen. However If it did I don't even want to take that chance.. Iowa would be very, very bubbly at 19-13..
Good effort but this ain't happenin' captain. I wanna win so Meat get yer *** in gear
Because it worked so great last time you started a game thread.
