Algorithms basically say if we go 13-0 in non-con as we should now, it would 6-12 in conference to be a bubble team. This is regular season only so 1, 2 or 3 wins in KC would only move us up.

7-11 = #10 or #11 seed
8-10 = #8 or #9 seed
9-9 = #6 or #7 seed
10-8 = #4 or #5 seed (maybe #3 if enough "good" victories)
11-7 = #2 or #3 seed
12-6 = #1 or #2 seed
13-5 = #1 seed

Weird beating this iowa team has changed how we're perceived. They aren't good, their close games with Purdue and Illinois say more about those teams than iowa.

Iowa is a pretty decent team and we spanked them

They have lost 3 in a row, basically to the only tournament type of teams they've played. Only one of those games was really even close. I guess I just don't think it was any more an impressive win than our other games this year. They have no PG and are getting demolished on the glass, thats a bad recipe in the big 10. They might catch a couple team sleeping but without making huge strides in those areas, they are an NIT type of team at best.

They average 90 ppg, we held them to 53. Wins or losses don’t matter. They got whooped. Ran off the court really.

I personally think our most impressive win was creighton hands down

It might be Xavier, but the rankings will probably say Memphis even though they are a hit mess. RPI wise at least.

Agree. Outside of Grill they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn......in front of 16k hostile fans......and still pulled it out.

That's one of the biggest swing and a miss I've seen from Vegas in a long time...25 points. A bunch of savvy Cyclone fans made some hay last night.

I even know a couple huge Hok fans who understand basketball (extremely rare) and they agreed it was the worst line they can remember.

Been watching some Xavier lately. I think they are the best team we've beat so far pretty easily. We benefited from their top guy being out and also we snuck up on their blindside with a Tyson Haymaker to the jaw, and they still handled it better than the others I'd say, taking the lead at half.

Their coach is kind of meh, but their roster is classic Xavier and Nunge has gotten a lot better. Would have helped the hoks A LOT this year. We should cry for them.

Agreed if there was another minute left in that game we might have not won. It was hard enough getting past half court

Lunardi has us still as a 4 seed, in his latest projection.

BTW - Jackson State is a pretty good team. They are playing everybody tough. Not a great win, but better than I thought.

 

[IST8CIVILENGR]

Lunardi has us on the 4 line still. Staying pat, no change except moving to the West Bracket.

At the end it was like a dunk contest for us.

Creme has Twisters on a 4 line also.

T. J. and the coaching staff must have watched the Oregon-Iowa game tape.
