Iowa's path to the 3-seed

[bws258]

Iowa: W,W (@IU,NW)
Purdue: L,L (@MSU,Ill)
OSU: W,L (@PSU,Wisc)
MSU: W,L (Purdue,@IU)

no lock, definitely do-able

3 Iowa 12-6
4 tie: MSU 11-7, OSU 11-7, Purdue 11-7

When I looked for this thread, there was none.
So, I create it, and then the old one shows up:

Throw in 2 Maryland losses and its a 2 seed

Why do we need the OSU part? If we go W,W aren't we ahead of them no matter what?

we don't, but just pointing out that they'd climb into the tie with MSU and Purdue, and that makes does change who we'd play

I don't expect this to happen btw.

Just win at least 1 of the next 2 to lock us into the field of 64, please. I think that would do it and that's all I care about right now.

Ok. I see.

Just re-did it, and you were right: OSU/Wisconsin doesn't matter to us if win out and the other three games go right, because the 3/6 would be Iowa/PU regardless.

I honestly think we end up being the 3 if we win out.

Well, according to rpiforecast.com this isn't right. We likely need 2 wins of some sort to feel good about making the top 64.

It would be freaking awesome to get one tomorrow night, but we're underdogs so I'm not expecting it.

GO HAWKS!

If we go 12-6 I will be elated regardless of seed. And after winning 6 in a row and 8 out of 10 we should be ready to play anyone in the conference...assuming the 12-6 scenario.

Iowa is in and no.where near the bubble right now. 1 more win and it's easily a lock. RPI is not the only thing they use

LOL, I mistook this for 3 seed in the NCAA tournament. Yup, it's monday alright. Either way, 3 seed in the BTT is gonna be tough to get since it requires a win at indy. Iowa owes NW a 20+ point beat down though.
