Good chance the state of Iowa gets 3 teams in

[rhoho]

Hear me out here. Obviously the clones and hawks are going to get in but Drake is in first place in the MVC and playing well and after watching UNI the last few games they are peaking at the right time now too. Just beat the other team in first place in the MVC (Missouri State) by 20 @ Mo state last night. It will just take Drake or UNI to win Arch Madness and there are 3 teams in.

What’s the all time record for total wins in a season between the 4 D1 schools in Iowa? I’d imagine this season has to be up there.

Good question. UNI took most their season to get things figured out with all the new faces but they have a good chance at 18 or 19 wins

 

[capitalcityguy]

Yeah...always makes it more interesting the more teams we have in...especially if you're out watching the tourney at a sports bar somewhere.

 

[rhoho]

Id say 5, 7 and 12 seeds

I'ts unbelievable that Drake is even in this position after losing Norton for the season. The fact that they have a shot at a regular season title and NCAA bid should net Devries COY in the valley.

2015-2016 had 3 teams from Iowa (ISU, Iowa and UNI) make the Round of 32.

UNI isn't going to get in. Can't score and can't get stops

That has changed over the last few weeks. They have figured something out

I'm aware they've won 3 straight. My point stands.

hummm....not sure a Valley team will get as high as a 12th seed. The conference is rated something like 12th or 13th in the nation.

So holding Mo state to 12 points less then their prior lowest scoring game makes you think they cant get stops and scoring 46 points in the 2nd half makes you think they cant score? Ok?

One game sample sizes are the best

There is no way in hell the MVC gets a 12 seed. And if it's Drake that's representing that league, they're likely 14 seed at best.

Last FIVE games of offense...71,77,77,73,63
On D trending lower and lower allowed scoreing...64,58,43 last 3 games in order

You left out the 79 and 83 on the last 5 defense. I watched UNI last night and they looked great but they aren't going to make the tourney. Green doesn't have the help he needs and Phyfe going down was bigger than most people realize. They're just not good on either end of the court

What’s the all time record for total wins in a season between the 4 D1 schools in Iowa? I’d imagine this season has to be up there.

Could only find records back to 1954 for all 4 teams.

The total win record for all 4 teams in one year is 87 (ISU-25, UI-22, UNI-31, DU-9) in 2015.

Since each season has different amounts of games played due to tournaments and such I think that winning percentage would be a better metric to which is the best season for all 4 teams is determined. The best season combined for all 4 teams based on winning percentage is 1961 at .698% (ISU: 14-11 .560, UI: 18-6 .750, UNI: 16-5 .762, DU: 19-7 .731)

For comparison this year all 4 teams combined are at 73 (ISU-19, UI-20, UNI-13, DU-21) total wins and a winning percentage of .676, which would be second behind 1961 for highest winning percentage.

Wins-

2014- 79
2016- 75
2005- 74

2019- 73

Win Percentage-

Hope Drake gets in. Screw UNI.

The MVC winner isn’t getting anything better than a 14 seed. Unless, there are a large number of big upsets in other single bid leagues. As it stands now, Bracket Matrix has the MVC winner projected a borderline 14/15 seed.

 

[JP4CY]

I will place a bet with anyone on here that thinks Drake can be a 13 or better seed.
It can be null and void if Drake doesn't get in.

Let me know.
