Northern Iowa is the worst choice ever to be in the NCAA

[dr. freeze]

unbelievable

10 loss team from the MVC gets in?

this is the biggest outrage i have seen by this joke of a committee

 

[Its Gravy]

Northern Iowa RPI is 75
Ranking is #44
20-10 record
key llosses lost at Cincinatti 76-70
Lost to Creighton 67-66
Lost to Creighton 83-82
Beat Southern Illinios 67-61
Lost to S. Illinois 76-69

 

[johnny wager]

agreed.

 

[Its Gravy]

well if they win a game there will be plenty of crow for you all to eat

 

[Kdogg21]

if your gonna pick a mid major, they should of gone with Buffalo.

 

[Hoops]

Terrible choice. How they got in ahead of Miami OH is beyond me.

 

[dr. freeze]

no, there will be no crow for anyone to eat

its not over who wins or who doesn't

on any given night, anyone can win a game

they lost 10 GAMES in and 7 in a mediocre at best conference

its ridiculous

plenty of 7-8 loss teams in much better conferences that got robbed

I think this team can ball with the best of htem...almost beat Iowa SU with Pierce, and that baller they have in Jacobson can take over a game...i like this team alot

 

[vyrus858]

in the best of them, I mean the mid-conference teams...but I really do think this team has a chance to get past the first round

Of course remember every year it seems that the one team everyone gripes about wins. Auburn to Sweet 16 2 years ago. I remember Fla St as a 6-10 ACC team won 1 or 2 games.

Northern Iowa will not get by Wisconsin. They have not seen defense like this, and will get worn down and frustrated. Not saying Wisky will cover though, they have a tendency to keep things interesting

 

[redsfann]

Right state but wrong team, Freeze...

I think its a joke that Iowa got in myself. They leave an equally pathetic Indiana team out--but yet the Hooisers went 9-7 in the league while Iowa went 7-9. Should have left out Minnesota as well and gave a mid-major team like Buffalo a spot in the field, IMO.

Our moron of an A.D. Bob Boobsby as chair of the selection committee played no part in Iowa getting in, right?

And if you believe that.....

 

[Tank22]

Buffalo definitely got the screws this year!!!

 

[nchiappetta]

I too was shocked when I got home to see them in the field of 65. And who cares if they ALMOST beat an Iowa team that went 7-9 in the Big Ten, which itself is nothing to write home about this year (besides MSU, Illinois, and Wisconsin). In addition to the teams mentioned already in which they lost, they also have key losses to Bradley, Wichita St., and Drake.

IMO, the following teams should have been selected over N. Iowa (in no particular order):

1) Buffalo
2) Miami OH
3) Wichita St.
4) St. Joe's
5) Depaul
6) Texas A&M
7) Indiana
