I would really rather have Iowa play in one of the other tourneys this year. They would likely get to host a game and better chance to advance than a probable 1 and done in the NCAA.
This is the Bubble

Seriously? That's like saying you'd take the Alamo Bowl over the Rose Bowl because the competition isn't as tough.
You ALWAYS take the NCAAs.

Are you serious?
There are no "facts" right now. But, to say ISU is on the bubble at this point is ignorant. Source considered. There is a system that predicts the likelihood of teams going into the tournament and it currently has ISU as plus 99%. This particular system is apparently very accurate, more so than posters on HN.
The opinions of Cyclonefanatic message board posters is not an official "system".

If you don't like what hawk fans have to say about ISU, why do you even come over here?

The worst part about it is that we are being fair, and realistic. And he claimed himself they are a 9-11 seed which IS THE BUBBLE.
After ISU destroys TT, they need to win 1 game @KSU, @Mizzou or home vs. Baylor. That will not be easy. If they win only 1 of those 3, they are a lock. But if they don't, they NEED to beat KSU in the opening Big12 conference game, or they are OUT IMO.
It's not the Hawk fans, it's the knuckledraggers. Big difference. There are some solid posters over here. You just have to dig down a little bit.
Find me a reliable source that says ISU is a bubble team.

Dude, you said yourself that ISU is projected as a 9-11 seed. What do you think the bubble is? The bubble goes both ways. Those that are Just in the tournament and those that are just out.
Not only that, but ISU is the top of my Last 12 in, no where did i even say they were a bubble team.

Gottlieb has been hating on ISU for awhile now, but Gottlieb is a moron IMO. Lunardi is better, but ESPN isn't really all that accurate either. ISU is in as of now, but with a bad loss they are right back to the bubble. Just gotta keep winning to stay in.

There is really only one "bad loss" team left on the schedule and that's TT tonight. The rest of the way it's KSU, Mizzou and Baylor. In the Big 12 tourney, it'll be either Texas or KSU, probably.

I fully agree, but the "experts" opinion is more based around big wins. ISU has a bad loss to Drake, but nothing else really sticks out besides that. Their biggest win is KU at home and outside of that, again, not much is there. The final 3 games on their schedule will be telling.
