Still holding strong with the idea that if Iowa wins two games in Chicago they get the bid. It would require them to beat a top 5 B1G team at the UC so chances are less than 10%.

Because teams like Iowa State get boned in the bunghole. The officiating during the second half of Cuse/Marquette and Kansas-Iowa State was horrendous and game affecting. Embarrassing.

The officiating was dog shit that entire game. When a team (Iowa State) get’s to the line more times than they take two point attempts at the basket there is an issue.

And whether or not ISU lost that game in regulation or overtime was any different. The reffing sucked the whole game. Lets say KU won the game in regulation on a shitty call. Why would they benefit from that in WAMAL and not by winning in overtime?

Just a thought. No big deal.

Makes me think with NCAA coming out today and admitting official crew made mistakes in last seconds of regulation of Iowa State-Kansas game last night, which essentially cost Cyclones the game, wondering if selection committee would give any behind-closed-doors bonus points to Iowa State?The officiating in that game was horrible, atrocious, all night to both teams. KU just had the good luck of not getting screwed last. (And, I'll admit, ISU got screwed.) But over a season, these are things that end up being a wash.

Stop with the Duke no. 1 crap. 2 at best. Now, they are without Kelly, so I get that. But let’s not forget when Kyrie Irvining was out and he came back for the tourney and looked like shit and Duke got beat I believe early on. It’s about team chemistry and I got to give MIA one of the no. 1 seeds.

I count OT games as ties

As Iowa Stater, I appreciate that. Makes me think with NCAA coming out today and admitting official crew made mistakes in last seconds of regulation of Iowa State-Kansas game last night, which essentially cost Cyclones the game, wondering if selection committee would give any behind-closed-doors bonus points to Iowa State?

Probably not, but just a thought given your rationale and the conference public admittance of error.

Just curious… why?

even if it is not really the most predictive measure of NCAA tournament.

That was a solid link/piece by that writer.

By this methodology, Providence is only like 6 or 7 spots out of the tournament. Certainly higher than other Bracketologists have them.

I like it. Glad to see it’s a recurring feature.
