They’re trending just like they were last year. Outscoring almost everyone. I will not surprised to see them get a 5 again.Iowas going to get a 7-10 seed. They are not beating a 1-3 seed on a neutral court lol

They get so many foul calls lol. It’s so much jumping into defenders and selling callsIowa must be using whatever collective money they do have to pay the refs to call every single contact a foul. I’m watching Indiana & Purdue beat the hell out of each other without much stoppage.
If they end up making the Big 10 conference championship game then sure. Those wins last year probably bumped them two seedsThey’re trending just like they were last year. Outscoring almost everyone. I will not surprised to see them get a 5 again.
Yep, it's s the same thing year after year. Great offensive efficiency numbers and terrible defense. And it always results in the same thing year after year, a first weekend exit in the tournament. They fired Tom Davis for that. I guess the Lickliter years have given them a greater acceptance of mediocrity.148 I think.
The new argument is “who cares if they don’t play defense. It’s fun to watch so that’s all that matters”. The truth is they recruit a bunch of guys that legit contenders won’t touch because they can’t guard anybody.Yep, it's s the same thing year after year.

Another Iowa stat: They’ve shot 40%or better from 3 in 5 of the last 7 games (today they shot 37%). Hard to imagine that’s sustainable. I don’t have exact context but that seems borderline crazy.
Iowa will make the dance barring a loss @minn and/or Neb at home.
Imagine being 15-8 and you only need 3-4 more wins to assure yourself a bid in NCAA with games against Minn, Neb and heck Ohio state left...
What a conference.
Good win today as IL good team playing well.
I'm not so sure that every game a player for Iowa has a career day to win is sustainable.
How many at home too?Iowa has only played 3 ranked teams all year and hasn't played any team ranked higher than #15 all season yet. They only have two more chances (both on the road) so will probably end up 2-3 in games against ranked opponents. Iowa State meanwhile is currently 6-2 against ranked opponents with four of those top 10 ranked opponents. We have 4 more games against ranked opponents so will play more than twice as many as Iowa. Yeah, that B1G is such a meat grinder . . . . .
That metric heavily favors FTs which is how Iowa scores.Now #1 in KenPom offensive efficiency.
Have to get that quota of B10 teams in every year
ISU, Indiana and Rutgers (who isn’t currently ranked)How many at home too?
The stat popped up during the game and it definitely went up since then but it said Iowa is #1 in the Big 10 in FT differential and was +77 at the line compared to conference foes. That’s ******* outrageous lolThat metric heavily favors FTs which is how Iowa scores.
I think it was 77 more makes than opponents attempts. Which is even crazier.The stat popped up during the game and it definitely went up since then but it said Iowa is #1 in the Big 10 in FT differential and was +77 at the line compared to conference foes. That’s ******* outrageous lol
So they’re obviously being coached to draw fouls. That’s the softest basketball strategy you could ever think of.I think it was 77 more makes than opponents attempts. Which is even crazier.
Yes Hassel said he believes the atmosphere in Carver was better than the atmosphere in Hilton today.Honestly great game by them today. Crowd looked lit, Sandfort came up huge, had to be a heck of a good time in the stadium.
Committee is hopefully smarter than that.they don't have to. they could be an 8/9 seed and play there.
