Believe it or not, Iowa’s tourney odds will not hinge upon a road conference loss in January to a net top 100 team. They might not make the tourney, but this isn’t some situation changing loss (despite what their stupid fans are clamoring in this thread)

True, but a win would've helped to alleviate some of the pressure on Iowa to steal a win against a better team in order to get in.

Iowa has very few games remaining that they'll be favored in (arguably 3 left out of 10 regular season games).

Say they win those and loss the rest. That'd leave them at 17-14 going into the Big Ten tourney.

Probably gonna need at least 2 wins in the BTT if they want to get in at that point, unless the bubble is as weak, or weaker, than last year's..........

They likely wouldn’t make it with a 17-14 regular season, but I’d be shocked if they only win 3 more games. I don’t think Iowa is very good but they still have two games against Nebraska as well as home games against Minnesota and northwestern. Those should all be wins.

I will say that the committee usually isn’t very forgiving to teams with very easy OOC schedules, so that is a clear mark against Iowa. But it will be another really weak bubble this year, mostly due to a truly terrible acc.

They are in trouble......4-6 in the league----Banking on four wins vs the 4 worst teams, isn't exactly a resume builder. With that being said, every game let for them is winnable,sans maybe @ OSU, @ Illinois and vs MSU. I'd love to have Iowa's remaining schedule---It dam near resembles their OOC schedule... 🤣 🤣

Indiana's OOC wasn't all that far off from Iowa's. The best team you played, regardless of outcome has been 14-7 Notre Dame.....

Only difference is, IU is 7-4, Iowa is 4-6. We also have wins over Purdue and OSU. Your best OOC win is UVA---@ 94. IU has two better wins in ND and SJU. And now you are running out of "good wins" in the B10----games left @ OSU, vs MSU, @ Illinois. You almost have to win all three---or at worse, go 2-1. Because the rest of your B10 schedule is not very good. Cannot lose games @ NB, or @ MD----or vs NW.

IU on the other hand has plenty of opportunity left to improve their resume: Vs Illinois, Vs Wisky, @ OSU, @ MSU and @ Purdue. We could go hold serve at home(4-0; which means beating Illinois/Wisky), go 1-4 road games, and be safely in @ 12-8, with wins over Purdue, Illinois, Wisky and OSU.

I like our chances a hell of a lot better.

I really don't care about Indiana nor did I ask for a comparison.

I simply pointed out that your OOC wasn't much better than Iowa's, whom you decided to trash on.

Oh btw..........Iowa > Indiana. 83-74 :cool:

Stains don't wash out in sports.

Tough loss for Iowa. Thought for sure they'd win when Murray's tip forced overtime.

1-5 in Quad 1 Games. 3-2 in Quad 2 Games. Not good, obviously. But, the bubble is so weak they're still probably standing at an 8 or 9 seed at this point.

Good luck explaining that to their dullard fan base though

Edit: also there’s a few games that are going back and forth between quad 1 and quad 2 wins for them. Both IU and Utah St are sitting right at the edge of quad 1/2, so that could affect their resume quite a bit at the end of the year. If IU finishes in the top 30 and Utah St finishes in the top 50, that’s two quad 1 wins. I don’t know if either is particularly likely but something to keep an eye on.

Also, unrelated, but while you’re here, how many ACC do you think make the field? I keep vacillating between 4 and 5. I guess ND could make a push to make it 6, but I think that’s a long shot.

If the committee was picking the field today, I think it would be 4 schools. Duke, Miami, Wake Forest, and UNC.

I think Florida State and Notre Dame could play themselves in, but they're currently on the wrong side of the bubble.

What was it you were trying to tell us? That this loss wouldn't hurt?

Because it certainly doesn't help.........
 
The watch list for the John R. Wooden Award was reduced from 25 to 20 names on Monday, with seven of the 20 remaining players hailing from the Big Ten.

Purdue guard Jaden Ivey and center Zach Edey, Illinois center Kofi Cockburn, Iowa forward Keegan Murray, Indiana forward Trayce Jackson-Davis, Ohio State forward E.J. Liddell and Wisconsin guard Johnny Davis are all a part of the revised list for the award given to the top player in men's college basketball.

Ivey and Edey are one of two pairs of teammates on the revised list, joining Gonzaga frontcourt standouts Chet Holmgren and Drew Timme.

Of the 20 players on the revised list, nine appear in the first round of ESPN's latest 2022 NBA mock draft, including Holmgren (No. 1), Duke's Paolo Banchero (No. 2) and Auburn's Jabari Smith (No. 3).

The five players trimmed from the previous version of the Watch List announced in early January are Iowa State's Izaiah Brockington, Michigan's Hunter Dickinson, UCLA's Jaime Jaquez Jr., Duke's Wendell Moore Jr. and Purdue's Trevion Williams.

A complete look at the Wooden Award Midseason Top 25:

Max Abmas, Oral Roberts (6-0, Jr., G)
Ochai Agbaji, Kansas (6-5, Sr., G)
James Akinjo, Baylor (6-1, Sr., G)
Paolo Banchero, Duke (6-10, Fr., F)
Kofi Cockburn, Illinois (7-0, Jr., C)
Johnny Davis, Wisconsin (6-5, Soph., G)
Zach Edey, Purdue (7-4, Soph., C)
Collin Gillespie, Villanova (6-3, Sr., G)
Chet Holmgren, Gonzaga (7-0, Fr., C)
Jaden Ivey, Purdue (6-4 Soph., G)
Trayce Jackson-Davis, Indiana (6-9, Jr., F)
Johnny Juzang, UCLA (6-7, Jr., G)
E.J. Liddell, Ohio State (6-7, Jr., F)
Bennedict Mathurin, Arizona (6-6, Soph., G)
Isaiah Mobley, USC (6-10, Jr., F)
Keegan Murray, Iowa (6-8, Soph., F)
David Roddy, Colorado State (6-6, Jr., F)
Jabari Smith, Auburn (6-10, Fr., F)
Drew Timme, Gonzaga (6-10, Jr., F)
Oscar Tshiebwe, Kentucky (6-9, Jr., F)

Agreed. It’ll be interesting how those four teams outside Duke play down the stretch because they’re far from safe and there’s that sect of acc teams that have wildly underperformed but are still more than capable of dishing out quad 3 home losses (VT, NCST, UVA, Cuse, etc).

That as of now you’re more safely in the tourney than is being reflected thru your posts. Iowa was not a last four in team going into last night, and they’re probably not in that grouping now. Jerry palm has them there but he has weird outliers, especially when it comes to big ten teams. Bracketmatrix has them as a 7 seed right now, they’ll probably slip to the 9 or 10 line as more brackets get updated this week. No one respects penn state but a loss there is not a backbreaking loss in the eyes of committee or reality.

Well, tbf I never said we were out of the tournament with this loss. In the same vein, I feel like you are still underselling the damage this loss does because of your lack of foresight regarding Iowa's remaining schedule........not that I blame you, although I should since you're suppose to be rooting for Iowa to lose every game like everyone else, that isn't an Iowa fan, does. ;)

Belo will be back for the badgers. Going to be an interesting crowd with 12-18” of snow slated for the next day and a half.

That's crazy. Sounds like we'll be down there tonight so no issues there. I'm guessing refs will be in place too. Getting out on time might be a different story. I remember walking through 10" about 20 years ago when we played MSU at the Kohl. Light crowd but I think we ended up winning.

Students will be around, but most things will be pretty shut down. My work is putting people up in local hotel rooms to keep running.
