Iowa's SOS was brutal in non-conf... but

[storminspank]

after playing 75% of the B1G schedule, they have an overall SOS of under 75. That's going to help them out, as will the 4 Top 25 wins and their record against the Top 75.

Still need to win out.

Yes, I know I'm repeating information, but I still can't believe there is a small legitimacy that Iowa can somehow make the Dance.

seems crazy huh? barring catastrophe are we a lock for a NIT bid?

I think Iowa needs 17 wins for the NIT bubble IN. 18 would solidify NIT.
16 wins and they are probably on the NIT bubble OUT.

Iowa isn't a lock for anything.. People really need to slow down.

I think we cheer for Cincinnatti. It makes it harder to leave us out with an RPI between 70-80 if another team is in the same boat.

Plus, it could keep S. Florida out. 17-11, 10-5, 1-7 vs. RPI top 50

I think Iowa is a lock for the CIT or CBI with a win.

Yes I agree with that.

Can't any team be in those as long as they fork over the money?

Their tournament committee selects you, but you have to be willing to host or travel to another school's gym.

And we got money! Therefore we're a lock baby!

 

[MorethanaHawkey]

Just control what you can control. Play your best game today and walk out with the W.

Pretty sure you have to pay a fee too. 20k or so. Peanuts for Iowa

I've heard the same, I just don't know the specifics.

Depends on how they get those 17 wins spank. If win #16 comes against Nebraska and #17 is the first round of the BTT you are looking at a 17-16 record with an awful RPI. But if they finish 2-1 and lose the first round of the BTT a 17-15 record might get them bubble consideration. 18 wins and they are in the NIT no matter how they get there.
