Selection Sunday looks ominous

[DrKnipe]

I've got a bad feeling. Hawks are going to be in play-in purgatory. But they made this mess.

 

[Hawkz15]

LOL...... troll.... I am thinking 6 or 7 seed

Only if every pundit and prediction site is about 3-5 spots wrong. I've seen as high as 6 and as low as 9. Haven't seen anything lower than 9.

As stated many times on here, unless Hawks play close to their potential, seed might not matter

Not a chance in h@ll.

They're projected around the 6 line.. Play-in teams are 11 or lower.

 

[SteveGarvey]

50/50 between a 6 and a 7.

 

[PCHawk]

They're probably in the first 4 out.

Interesting because I've not seen anyone have Iowa below a 7.. Who has them a 9??

 

[DrKnipe]

Not trying to troll. I thought the play ins had games between some higher like 8's or 9's. Alas, I now know they don't. If you'll excuse
Me there's someone I need to forgive......Myself

I saw a CBS one at 9, it was the only one and its no longer up. I also saw one espn at 8, but don't think it was one of the big boys. Most I've seen are at 7.

The guy who did my landscaping and patio work is from Yutan. Dude does great work.

 

[NCHawker]

Well, maybe the committee will take stock in the overall body of work.

Maybe they'll place more weight on recent history.


You can't ignore either. You must consider both.

They'll get in with a low seed.

Selection Sunday is only ominous if we are on the bubble IMO. There is nothing ominous about knowing we are in the tournament. I'm willing to bet the 2, 3, 10 and 11 seeds in our region...depending on our seed...are going to feel like they got a lousy draw. Because "Good" Iowa can beat any team in the tournament.

I wish all 4 of the play-in games were for 16 seeds. Anything better belongs to teams that earned their spots.

 

[mopkins]

I'm guessing a 7 because of the late slide. I am hoping for a 6 seed vs Yale but at this point it doesn't really matter...iowas issues are all internal

 

[ClintonIAfan]

They took out last 10 games as selection criteria. I say 5-6 seeds. Big road wins have a major impact and Iowa has those.

Kenpom has Michigan State and Purdue in their top 10 and we beat both of them on their home floor. I won't be surprised if this is mentioned when/if our seed is questioned. We are 20 on Kenpom and 2 of the teams ahead of us can't play...SMU and Louisville. I think we could be a 5 just as easily as a 7. But it feels like a 6 to me.

Small enough town I probably know or know of him. I'm not much of a landscaper, but I do manscape.

 

[DrKnipe]

I did see someone have a us as a 7 vs 10 Gonzaga.

I saw that as well, both as a 7/10 and a 6/11 game. Would be very surprised if that happened, they tend to avoid tourney rematches like that.

 

[Seth53]

A tip of the #1--cow, #2--suitcase, and #3--bong to the three Iowa teams making the tourney.

(And if I have to explain which is which, never mind!)

It's been awhile since this has happened, and it's no fault of either of the two non-Hawkeye teams
