Are u banking on winning out or winning the big ten tournament, just for clarification?
I think Iowa finishes the regular season @ 18-14 or 17-15. they probably get 1 in the b1g tournament. I think 19 wins would get them in the NIT

They'll win 9 more regular season games. Don't know about the Big Ten tourny yet.

Youre watching a different team than I am if you're that confident. I see Iowa as able to compete with nearly every team in the league, but capable of losing to anyone at the same time. Not to mention they've lost 3 of the last 4.
If you're seriously thinking they'll take 9 of 11 to finish the season, I think you're setting yourself up for disappointment

I don't expect anything. I'm just making optimistic, homer picks because I'm awesome.
If we get to 18 in the regular season and win 1 in the BTT, I see an NCAA bid. B1G is going to get 7 for sure, but probably 8 teams in this year. 10-8 conference record plus a round 1 win in the tourny I think is enough, despite the horrible losses early in the year and the hawks will have finished 7-4 out of their last 11.

And out of those last 4 games Iowa won't see any of those teams again this year.
I don't think Iowa will go 9-2 in the last 11 but I think they can go 7-4 putting them at 18-13 going into the BTT. Then go 1-1 there and a finish of 19-14 should get them into the NIT.
winning 9 out of 11 would make this tean 12-6 in Conference and the team would be a slam dunk to make the dance as 12-6 record would put Iowa in at least 4th and at worst 5th, no team in any of the major conferences would get left out being 6 games over .500,
you have to realize nobody has made a big push for seperation and there gould be a log jam at 9-9 again this year.
it appears that the team that is over .500 in conference play will make the dance, especially if the talk hold true about 8 teams making the dance.
even so Iowa may not get a seed higher than 12, which is not that bad if you look at it as it might be easier to get a 2nd game in the dance, as that would put Iowa to open with a 5th seed opponent rather than a top 4 seed
