Anyone else like me nervous about the possibility of Iowa dropping to a 10 and getting placed in our bracket, setting up a possible second round matchup? I know we would beat them 4/5 times, but they would slow it down and find open guys out of our traps. Stirtz shot making can be truly elite. I’m just hoping the committee avoids this even though they don’t have to. What a horrendous way that would be to end this season.
Nightmare scenario (Iowa)
- Thread starter TClone99
- Start date
Iowa is a great matchup for us. Any team that can guard Stirtz with one guy will beat them. Lipsey, Toure and Batemon all can guard Stirtz.
Hmmm. I remember a game being in doubt in Hilton almost until the very end in December.
FIFY
What a glorious way that would be to end Iowa's season.
Don't they try to avoid rematches until the second weekend?
Both teams would have to win the first game first.
But yeah no thanks to them, UNI, WI (although they're a lot more respectable but I hate going to work with that kind of deal) or Nebraska on the optics piece.

I honestly appreciate the dumbs and laughs about my posts because I hope you are right and my fears are paranoid. I’m just wondering what people think is so improbable, the committee putting us close together or Iowa beating us like they almost did in December on our home court.
If a 10 seed gets to play as close to home as a 2 then the committee really messed up.
True. Also Iowa deserves to be on the 8/9 line. Dropping them to a 10 would be allowing them to fail up.
Very few teams have slapped Iowa around. The Cyclones certainly didn’t.
They did send Drake to Omaha a couple years ago. Which we all freaked out about until they lost to Wazzu.
Yeah, assuming Iowa drops to a 10 but wins is why I’m not going to worry about this till Friday
