NCAA Tourney

The only chance we have at the tourney is winning the Big 10 tourney. I think we have a great shot at the NIT though.
 
I am one of the biggest Iowa fans around. Sometimes I am delusional when it comes to my love/hopes for the Hawks. But even I can't believe I am reading this. They looked good today and showed a ton of heart but we are seriously talking about the NCAA tourney already?
 
We aren't playing post season ball aside from the BTT. Enjoy the last two wins and the rest of the season though. These kids do play their hearts out.

This.

I was hoping the previous posts were sarcasm but apparently not.
 
Only chance is to win the Big 10 tournament and if we do that Fran should automatically receive a lifetime contract. Ain't gonna happen.
 
If Iowa were to win out (not going to happen) it would put Iowa at 17-13. If they won 3 games in the Big Ten Tourney, that puts them at 20 wins. Would that not be good enough down the stretch for the NCAA?
 
10-13. Not sure that we have that many wins. Yes, the team is improving. But we are at least a year away from a post season tournament. Would love to see us get hot and win the BTT, but won't hold my breathe.
 
This is the most ridiculous post I've ever read. We are still 10-13! I hope you are all being sarcastic otherwise this is more ridiculous than the Clown fans saying they are going to the tourney this year and compete for a national championship next season.

With that said, we win the Big Ten tournament then yes but that won't happen. Let's just build on our first 2 game conference win streak since 2007.

Yes because winning the Big Ten tourney is an automatic qualification for the big dance. And the only way Iowa plays in the post season this year.

Three wins in the Big Ten tournament only wins if you have a bye. Which, I suppose could be possible at 10-8 this year. But none of this matters. We aren't winning out.
 
Has to be sarcastic. Lets just enjoy the improvement we've seen, and hopefully we'll see a lot more next year, but there ain't no way Iowa will see post season play beyond the BTT.

We're not winning out, but if we did and won 3 games in the BTT, that wouldn't get us to the Big Dance. But riding that kind of hot streak, the NIT might be within reach.

But we're not winning out. Not even going to come close. I see, at most, 4 more wins, and all but one would be an upset of a ranked team (but those three games are all at home, which is why we might have a chance). MSU on the road? No. Illinois on the road? No way. We won't win another roadie this year. We can pick up maybe another 4 wins at home, but 3 is pushing the limits of being realistic.
 
Da, if Iowa wins the Big Ten tournament, they are the only team guaranteed to make the tournament. Think before you make a stupid comment.
