If be surprised if it's less than 8. Looking at teams schedules left o think it'll be tough for IU to get to 9 wins but I still think they may get in at 8-12 pending who they beat and how the rest of the bubble fares. I'd love for Iowa to get a protected seed and end up in Des Moines but they'll probably need to go minimum 5-2 the rest if the way to have a shot ( and win a game or 2 in the B10 tourney )At this point it's looking like 8 max for the league. With Minnesota being the 8th. And we could sure as hell play ourselves out of it.

I agree to an extent but I'd rather see the at larges come from the mid majors ( teams like UNCG, Furman , Liberty etc ) if they don't win their tourneys . I don't mind 2 games under getting in if the league was really good but it needs to be a top 2 or 3 league and they need to have had a great oocI say it every year, but I don't think the sub .500 teams deserve to get in.
I'd rather teams from the Pac12 and American get in than Seton Hall and St Johns if they finish under .500.
At some point you have to reward quantity of wins over a team that has a couple of good wins and piles of losses.
Oklahoma is 5 games under .500 in league play and is safely in the field.

Iowa has very minimal shot at Des Moines
0 shot if they go 5-2 imo
You're probably right given the schedule . Not a lot of really quality wins left

Going to be a really interesting last 5 weeks . I think my heart has finally stopped beating out of my chest after last night lol. Shit like that amazes me . How dudes can remain calm enough in the midst of runs like that to make a shot. I could barely stand up afterwards and he's sinking a 26 foot 3 with a hand in his face lolYeah like Eric mentioned in his post there are so many teams they have to jump to get protected.
And if they lose the Wisco game and get swept by them that almost eliminates that jump unless the badgers tank
Which isn't crazy . The only game I'd imagine we won't be favored in is @Wisconsin
I'd be surprised if it took all that given the likelihood Iowa winning out in the regular season probably gets then to no worse than second in the league and the unlikelihood Kansas doesn't stop a few more but we will see. I'd say if Iowa wins all the way out there's a great chance they'd end up as a 1 seed but probably no worse than a 2. Too many other big matchups between teams who are both ahead of them left to be able to tell for sureI'm talking about through the conference tournament as well.
