Did Iowa just lose? - Page 2

I think they flashed the end of the game during the Bucknell game. Wow.

No one should have put any stock in Iowa to begin with. They were the third or fourth best team in a conference in a down year. Evidence also, the third and fourth best teams from the Big 12, also in a down year, also lost in the first round. Neither conference had anything this year, the records are inflated. Smaller conference schools who got squeezed really have an argument this year about power conference bias.

Not that I need to explain that a team that chokes to a 14 seed is probably not that good, but...

Heck Iowa might not even be the best Iowa team in the tourney.

IOWAAA!!

Take solace Iowa fans, I hear Huggins is available.

Go Panthers!

I had Iowa losing to West Virginia in all my brackets in the 2nd round anyway. That's when I actually had them beating NW St. in the first round.

Like I said, I didn't really see it. I caught pieces of it on CBS, but it was really hit and miss. Thanks for the info.

The big 10 is over-rated.

WTF? The Big Ten is the #1 RPI conference in the country this year and are spoken of almost unanimously by college BB commentators as the toughest top-to-bottom conference this year.

It takes a little more time to gather facts before making a statement but in this case you might have considered doing so.

In no way does this detract from the fact that the Hawks choked, once again. Sigh.

It's to be expected from a MUron.

The teams aren't that good no matter how much media pimping they get. Their best team could have lost today to a 15 seed. Check after the next round and see how many teams the Big 11 has left.

We're a little out of practice on this 'tournament' stuff.

I don't know. The only conference better than the Big Ten is the Big East. Some conferences might have a better team or two at the top, but as a whole the conference is pretty good.
