Winning Streak

[SpanishMoon]

Coach Jake has this team tuned up like a antiques sportscar. It is running on all cylinders. I do not think we will lose another game until championship game of MVC tournement and I think that means we go dancing in the nc2a tourney!! Time for a drink to celebrate.

Re: Winning Streak

If this team could erase the losses vs MOSU, and Loyola I think they'd just on the outside of the bubble. But, they can still take the MVC title and erase all that.

Re: Winning Streak

Great win! Wow, I certainly didn't think they'd win today. I was wrong for doubting them. I still think they have to win the MVC tourney to get into the NCAA. But they are now in the picture for an at-large spot in the NIT. If we get into the NCAA, the team that draws us in the first round will be very upset.

Yeah. Last week when the Squawks were braketologied as a 1-seed, I was thinking, this is a chance for a 1-seed-16-seed upset. Never been done.

That would be perfect. I wouldn't mind being the first 16 to beat a 1, especially against that team from Johnson County.

Re: Winning Streak

Yeah, but I realized also that there's no way the powers that be would set Iowa up for that.

Re: Winning Streak

There's no way we'd be anywhere near a 16 seed. We'd be in the 12-13 range with a game that would certainly be winnable.

Re: Winning Streak

We would be a 13-14 Dance seed with the automatic bid. Iowa could slip to the 3-4 line.

In Des Moines?

Re: Winning Streak

In Des Moines?

That would be great, but the committee usually pairs teams up from different parts of the country. We would be in different brackets, but could both play in Des Moines.

That would be the hottest ticket in Iowa in a long, long time.

Re: Winning Streak

If Iowa goes to DM, they won't be playing against an in-state school.

If we make the tournament we're not going to DM.

The top 16 teams (1-4 seeds) are the teams who get geographical preference.

Correct, so the Hawkeyes or Cyclones would end up in Des Moines.

Re: Winning Streak

Northern Iowa is projected to end the regular season 19-12 ranked #93 by teamrankings.com. This with an 11.1% chance at the automatic bid to the Dance.
