You act like it is credible to compare Iowa and Indiana...
You just opened pandora's box with Redhawk, you are in for an argument now.

I know and Herby will get me banned one day, he always accuses me of picking on him when I don't agree with him...funtimes...

It's good stuff, he means well but then it turns into a ******* match over his opinion is king and the rest of us are stupid. Once in a while he acknowledges that a difference in opinion is ok, but not often.

Yeah and if Herby would relax he actually says a lot of things that are relevant.
I do think Iowa will make the NCAA tourney as well to answer the original question...agree with the Dark Knight on this one.
I want to see how Iowa plays against Indiana and Michigan and MSU first. Then I will have a clearer picture of where I think Iowa will be.

Yeah, but that takes all the fun out of making predictions. I have Iowa beating IU/MSU, a split would be just a good for me, but on paper they don't win. This is where preparation comes in and how Iowa responds in-game when there is adversity. Iowa didn't begin to respond to in-game adversity well until some games in the BIG (Wisconsin/Minny). This year's team has responded well to in-game adversity so far, yes they lost a couple of winnable games, but came back and won one that they don't in the last 6 years. Iowa has better players this year, but how is their mental makeup, that is what really defines a team that wants to get back to the NCAA tournament.
Indiana has as weak of schedule as anyone. Duke should have passed them before they lost. They beat UNC by a lot...but so did Texas. For reference:

I don't disagree with you, but until they lost or played any close games Duke wasn't going to pass them. Michigan had an argument as well.
True, I am going to say that Iowa won't make the tourament. Solely because I would rather be wrong and Iowa make it, then be right and Iowa not make it.
Michigan has beat one ranked team, #18 NC St.
Duke beat #2, 3 and 4.
Michigan had no argument, Duke deserved it over pre-Butler Indiana.
