Probably michigan-msu final
I just hope the Buckeyes win 2 games at least
Does iowa need to beat NW to make the tournament? A loss there and I think they'd be sweating selection Sunday a bit.
They have no RPI 101-150 losses and 5 RPI 1-50 wins. I think they're ok.
If the committee takes 6 then one of Minnesota, Nebraska, or Iowa will be left out. Iowa split with Minnesota and beat Nebraska.
Right now iowa has an rpi of 49. And while they do have 5 top 50ish wins(Xavier and Minnesota are right at the cut line) They did next to nothing out of conference, and have a terrible non conference SOS. IF they lose to NW on a neutral floor and Minnesota and Xavier bow out early in their tournaments, they'd only have 3 top 50 wins and a 7-11 record against the top 100. Their RPI would also take a significant hit and be in the high 50's. Just looking at their resume right now they are probably a 9 or 10 seed. I'm not saying they'll miss the tourney if they do lose, but I think it'll be close.

I think Iowa has a RPI of 39. They're 5-9 against 1-50, no real bad losses and haven't been blown out by anyone. They just simply don't play very good D.
They're in.
Maybe you guys are looking at a different site.
NCAA Men's Basketball RPI | NCAA.com
The official NCAA website has them at 49. This is the one the committee will use. I was surprised to see it that low, that's why I began to wonder if whether or not they were completely safe with a loss.
I never understood the discrepancies between various rpi sites. Its such a basic formula.
Winning % * 0.25 + Opponents Winning % * 0.50 + Opponents' Opponents Winning % * 0.25
Unless its a matter of not being up to date...

I think espn has its own variance of the RPI. I could be wrong though. I know cbs sports uses the exact same thing as the ncaa official website.
Previous RPI of 40....that could be it right there. I was viewing old index ratings.
I still think Iowa is in...regardless of the B1G Tourney. They may be cold of late but aren't getting blown out. "Complete body of work."
