NIT Projections

[RobHowe]

FWIW, this site shows Iowa as a sixth seed in the NIT.

If we do make the NIT, it looks like we'll be experimenting with some rules.

Interesting. Actually I was going to start a thread asking people's thoughts on playing a quarter system. The women have gone to it. I like the idea and find it a little more exciting.

Years and years ago, didn't college men play a quarter system, like early 1980's?

My Dad's yearbooks go back to 40's (he taught there) and none of those games had quarters. It would have to predate that.

The 1951-52 thru the 1953-54 seasons had ten minute quarters, then they switched back to halves.

http://www.nycbuckets.com/current-nit-bracketology/ has us at a 7 seed vs Clemson.

I played in the Iowa Conference, graduating in 1978. We played 2 halves. For our pre-season games we experimented with a shot clock that was the same as the women had at the time: 30 seconds.

Love the quarters. So tired of seeing both teams in every game get to the double bonus in each half. It's hard to not commit 10 fouls in 20 minutes of play. I think it's worked well on the women's side and I'd love to see them make this change moving forward.

I'd like to see them reduce timeouts by one if they go to quarters. Enough stoppage of play as it is. Besides, Fran doesn't use TO's anyway.

"Timeouts?, We don't need no stinkin timeouts "

 

[PCHawk]

If we go to quarters, that's twice as many times Fran can screw up end of clock situations.

I kinda hate seeing the 1 and 1 go away though.

 

[STILLBUSTER]

I still don't think they make NIT without finishing 3-2 and, at least, 1-1 in B14T. Have to protect home court and not get completely blasted at UM & UW to stay at large and avoid getting bumped by mid & lower tier season champs.

Guessing the total foul count would be lowered from 7 to 5 each quarter.

The way our bigs shoot free throws I wouldn't miss it going bye-bye.

Oh yeah, I'd much rather see Pemsl and Wagner miss 2 free throws instead of just one.

Or in Wagner's case, 3 with a lane violation.

Maybe we can bring back the old NBA "3 to make 2".
