Terrible draw. As usual. But this year we played to this position. Bummer. But Playing Pearl will be interesting Go hawks!

Better Houston than Bama

I'm guessing now Houston's bracket.

Yea - that's where the primary guys (Palm and Lenardi) have had Iowa for much of the past week.

Unexpected to me ... Both Clark Kellogg and Jay Wright have "what if" props to Hawks, even against Houston.

Maybe this is the year where we all write them off after a dismal final week of the season. Only to see that was their "crap it out" week, so they could go on one of their 4-5 game hot streaks??

Ohhhhhh, Billy, Billy, Billy ... PLEASE Billy!

My gawd you guys are super negative. They can play with Auburn and Houston.

Probably similar to the Tennessee game in the tournament a few years ago. You just can't automatically assume an ass kicking.

True.....looking at their roster, they look bigger....and if it comes down to who coaches the uptempo game better....I lean Pearl there.

Iowa is going to have shoot well....and defend.

How in the hell does IL draw DM?

Because you can't put Iowa there.

Kansas with luxury seats in their meeting room.

Serious question, is there a reason you can't put Iowa there? I don't know how that works. Just wondering because we're playing Auburn in Alabama.

Not a very good shooting team. Will come down to if Iowa matches them or makes 'em.

Sagarin #'s:
Auburn #26: SOS= #27, 2-9 vs top 25 and 3-10 vs top 50
Iowa #31: SOS= #17, 3-3 vs top 25 and 11-8 vs top 50.

Pod system protects the top 4 seeds in each region against opponents having a "home court advantage" but that is just for the 1st round. So in other words...I don't know.

OK. I know that some teams can't play at certain sites because they are considered the hosts of that site. I didn't know if Drake was the host or what.

Matt Gatens was a grad ass't at Auburn under Pearl. Can't hurt, right?

 

[Hawks319]

I want to jinx the shit out of this because i am good at it. There is no way Iowa gets past auburn! ZERO

and. I watched houston play more than once. They will beat iowa by 20

 

[HawksMN]

Another thought: bunch of crap Hawks are stuck in the Midwest with ISU AND Drake?? Or a good thing as more chances to push one of them through deep within a single bracket? I don't see any of them coming close to getting to play each other. MAYBE Iowa and Drake and I have no confidence with Iowa.

Auburn got one hell of a draw playing basically at home.

Houston's leading scorer played 9 minutes yesterday because he hurt his groin.
