Who wants to play in Carver next week?

Re: Who wants to play in Carver next week?

If any one of 6 plays vs IU, MSU, wisconsin, minnesota, nebraska, or purdue goes iowas way then their weak schedule is a moot point and they are in. Plus, uni, wku, and a couple of the meac teams were much worse than expected. Too bad, but oh well.

If we allow douche bags we must allow elementary kids.

At least douche bags can stay on topic

I'm not sure the collective intelligence of this board can handle another influx of Iowa posters, should we be matched up against them for a second game this season. It WOULD be a really fun postseason game though.

I see no point of another matchup with iowa. I would rather play someone new.

Iowa played isu in 2004 and it just doesnt have the same feel as december

Iowa likely scheduled its way out of the NCAA tournament.

Quite agree, and I hope they are treated accordingly.

Yeah they would be an unprecedented pick. That being said, they compare favorably to other bubble teams in everything but rpi. We will see tomorrow i guess. I think they are an nit 2 seed.

Money, money, money. That it the grand decider! Iowa travels very well.
That alone just might get them to big dance.

I know they travel well for football bowl games and the like. But do they travel well for basketball too?

Since they would most likely host the first 3 rounds, if they make it to MSG I would bet they would travel to New York City very well. It would be a pretty exciting time for Iowa basketball compared to the last several years.

Re: Who wants to play in Carver next week?

Iowa its playing better than we are right now. So no I would not want that match up.

I tend to agree with this.

However, iowa blows and they will get what they deserve for their scheduling, which is the NIT

Re: Who wants to play in Carver next week?

I won't be surprised either way for Iowa and the NCAA tourney. Honest question, though, how many NCAA tourney teams has Iowa beat this year? I know Wisconsin and Iowa State will / should be in. Other than those two W's who helps their resume?

Re: Who wants to play in Carver next week?

illinois, wisconsin.

the main issue is that they were all at home.

they do have 4 top-50 (Actually top 40) wins, which is more than almost every other bubble team.

OOC SOS is the main factor, which is killing their RPI. those two things are the same argument.

Re: Who wants to play in Carver next week?

Illinois will get in? I don't follow the B1G all that closely, but I disagree with any team that can't win at least half of their conference games getting an at-large. Just like the "win 6" rule in FBS, I'd love to see that kind of rule enacted in BB.
