That's not what you said. You said "deserve" to be in. They have a crap ton of over 100 RPI losses, so once again, no.

I hope we don't loose to many more teams.

no one else on the bubble has 7 bad losses, and no one has lost to a team nearly as bad as Old Dominion. I think part of the resume/body of work idea is you have to be accountable for every game you played all season. Another thing is that Virginia's schedule is weaker than Iowa's, but that goes unmentioned in Virginia's case despite its huge significance to Iowa's resume.

Lunardi is a fool, because Witchita State is a lead pipe lock and doesn't belong on any of these bubble lists.

NC State just needs to eliminate Virginia today...convincingly.

They absolutley deserve to be in based on the committes criteria. The committe rewards teams who have demonstrated an ability to beat top teams. Virginia has demonstrated that and Iowa hasn't. If Iowa had beaten Indiana or MSU then all those other things like bad losses etc would come into play, but they didn't, and it won't.
If Iowa beats MSU today then maybe things are different.

Of course it does, they wouldnt be a #1 seed without him. They probably dont beat Miami with him either.

Everything hinges on the MSU game, this cannot be overstated.

Absolutely! I think an Iowa win coupled with a Virginia loss would allow Iowa to leapfrog into the "Last 4 In".
Cool story Nate
