NCAA Opponent

Maybe Duke will come out like Apollo Creed and Iowa lands a haymaker. Only problem is, Iowa has no Mickey on the sideline to tell them to "get up you sons of bitches, because Mickey loves you."

I love that old man, good old Burgess Meredith

 

[Ian Pike Hammer]

Not to mention, no one on this staff has the foresight, savvy nor in-game awareness to be Mickey.

They might have the Hawks fight right-handed (Cripes, they already have / allow Cook to do unnatural things against his skill set) but, just like the banking of time outs, they'd forget to yell, "NOW!"

maybe we can hire that old, crippled nun in the wheelchair from Loyola

I don’t see much on that list better than pretty much every team in the Big 10...worse than our top 9.

every time we step on to the court, we face 2 enemies; our opponents, and ourselves. We are our worst enemy

They are better at dressing then coaching by a wide mile.

Not Mickey

We need Jimmy and his Jimmy Shoes

I would prefer playing a team from a P6 conference. The little guys seem to be tougher outs when they're seeded in that range (I have no stats to back that up, though). It makes their season to get there and a win in the tourney, in some cases, makes them the best team in the history of their school, etc. Would rather play a team that finished 8-12 in their conference.

The ONLY hope I hold out is if we get away from the constant fouling that doesn’t get called in the 10 our offense will really take off.

They have to fix this bullshit league but it won’t happen while Izzo is around.

I think I speak for most Iowa fans; who gives a shit who we play. Fire Fran now!

Oh, please. Are you seriously going to claim you know how to correctly tie a fucking bow tie?

USA today has Iowa playing Utah State in round one and then Tennessee. All things considered I'd take that in a heartbeat....probably as good as it could possibly get...as depressing as that sounds

They also have the winner of that game playing Iowa State/Wisconsin....which is kinda funny

USA Today sports is a joke most days imo.

Potential coaching matchup. Frannie Mac vs Rick Barnes.

Bug, meet windshield.

I vote we play Chicago State in the first round!

I’d prefer an ole Miss then a potential matchup with Virginia better.

All of bracketology is a joke but I still find it entertaining

Agree. I like to joke around. Here's my attempt at funny -- top 16 and site

Hartford
3 -- Michigan
4 -- Wisconsin

Columbia
1 -- Virginia
1 -- Duke

Jacksonville
2 -- N. Carolina
4 -- FL State

Columbus
1 -- Tennessee
2 -- Kentucky

Des Moines
2 -- Mich St
3 -- Purdue

Tulsa
2 -- Houston
3 -- TX Tech

Salt Lake
1 -- Gonzaga
4 -- K State

San Jose
3 -- LSU
4 -- Kansas


Palm has 1-3 seeds all ACC. Now, that's a joke.

Based on NET, New Mexico State along with Furman should get either the same or better seed than Iowa.

As of now:
NMSt= 40 NET
Furman= 41 NET
Iowa= 43 NET

 

[99topdawg]

I'd much rather see the little guys get in anyway. If you can't win half of the games in your conference, how can you justify playing for the championship?

I'd be happy with Iowa getting an 11 instead of an 8/9
