Ask UCONN women if winning by 20 is important or if winning by 12 is "good enough". Rewarding bigger and bigger blowouts can lead to teams facing their exact situation.

You nailed it.I interpreted @Cydkar's "dumb" comment to mean, why is 10 the arbitrary place to set it? (i.e., not that 50 should get more weight than 10). Maybe I'm wrong.
I judge your statements about my statements to be idiotic.No, you said they haven't beaten a good team yet. That's false.
You also said they lost at home to Illinois "with" Murray like that was a game they easily should have won. I explained why Illinois is alot better than Iowa right now. They returned alot of talent from their #1 seed last year and were predicted to finish 3rd or 4th in the Big 10.
Iowa was predicted 9th or 10th.
I feel bad for the player, but regardless of some tiny bump in a team's ratings, it isn't very smart for a coach to have his/her foot on the gas with all of the starters in in the last minute of a game up by almost 20. I have no sympathy for a little bit of bad luck for that program.SSta
Starting point guard and defending national player of the year fractured a part of the tibia/knee while playing with 40 seconds to go and up 18 points. Will miss 6-8 weeks
You still feeling confident they make the tourney?Lol, a road win at Virginia isn't good? Virginia will be an NCAA tourney team, guaranteed.
Massive victory for Jim Madison.You still feeling confident they make the tourney?

I believe these are NET rankings so Iowa has now dropped to 17 and ISU dropped one to 21. UVA dropped to #78 so is now considered a Q2 victory for Iowa.

Her injury was about as freaky as any injury could be, no one touched her, she made a move and her knee buckled. It could have happened in practice just as easily as in a game.SSta

She should have been. Yes it could have happened in practice, but it didn't.Her injury was about as freaky as any injury could be, no one touched her, she made a move and her knee buckled. It could have happened in practice just as easily as in a game.
Hard to blame a coach for that type of injury, but many will say, she should have been on the bench with that big of lead. That is backseat driving, nothing more, nothing less.
Yep, Virginia is now down to #92Those aren't updated with the Virginia loss tonight either. So VA will plummet tomorrow.
Yeah, they only have 4 losses so far. They've beaten 3 Power 5 teams already also and will finish 5th-8th in the ACC, that will be good enough for the tourney.You still feeling confident they make the tourney?

Torvick doesn't mean much right now with such a small sample size. Winning at Virginia is about the same as winning at Creighton , both are solid resume building road wins.Currently projected 15-15 (9-11) per Torvik, with only 1 win against a top 150 opponent, Providence.
