Would guess iowa, but if Franny gets canned or suspended I wanted a redo.
ToE definitely has a better opportunity to step up and nab some W's in the B1G over ISU in the Big 12, I'll say that much. Think it depends on whether or not ISU can shape up into a cohesive unit. They've been in most of their games, but have fallen apart late; sometimes that's fixable and sometimes it doesn't work out that way.
I'd have to think that ToE wins more games but I don't think either team will really "accomplish" anything of note (barring something crazy like running the table in a conference tourney).
Just for fun....
I'll go out on a limb and say the Hawks.....what say you?
Does either team make the NIT? I know Iowa probably won't, but what about ISU?
Why do you want a redo? Do you really think that Iowa will play worse without Fran?

Leaning towards neither at this point. The route to the NIT would probably be more forgiving for ISU playing in the tougher league, but I'm still erring towards both missing out.Does either team make the NIT? I know Iowa probably won't, but what about ISU?
How?
The NIT requires a 0.500 record or better, so both teams would need to win at least 7 more games. While it's possible, I don't expect it from either.Does either team make the NIT? I know Iowa probably won't, but what about ISU?
Games remaining & Average KenPom rating of those teams.
Iowa- 13 & 57
Iowa State- 16 & 21
I'd say its very realistic that Iowa finishes with more wins.
Can't really be a Fake I.D. if you were never perceived as good in the first place.Fake ID of basketball too
That's not a requirement anymore. However, something like 1 team in 10 years has made the NIT with a below .500 record.The NIT requires a 0.500 record or better, so both teams would need to win at least 7 more games. While it's possible, I don't expect it from either.

A team that finishes with an 8-10 record in the Big 12 would be right on the bubble for the tournament. Not saying that we will do that, just saying that we have a far more workable path to get there due to strength of schedule and strength of conference.
