New to the site and love it! Heard Joe Linardi (ESPN Bracketology guy) on sports radio this AM in Des Moines. Feels Iowa State has the best chance of making the dance (of UNI IU and ISU) due to their recent win streak. Little frustrating since Panthers have better RPI and whipped the "Clones" earlier. He said Panters need an impressive road victory and that door is still open to them with trips to SIU and Wichita State. Guess "quality losses" to Cincy and to Iowa (w/Pierce) aren't counting for much.

I heard the same show. He thought the Big 10 would get either 3-4 teams in depending on Minnesota and the Big 12 6 teams.

ISU doing well only helps UNI's RPI and makes UNI's pre-season strength of schedule look better. Don't let it frustrate you, ISU has a young team and was bound to improve as the season went on, them winning only helps UNI. ISU plays #1 Kansas tomorrow so UNI gets 25% of the #1 RPI.

Now let's hope Iowa stops dragging UNI's RPI down....
