How does this work since it was an exhibition game? Does this not actually count against them? (Assuming it's exhibition, right?)

This sort of feels like evidence that gets struck in a trial. Sure the Committee isn't supposed to look at it, but there's no way they can actually ignore it.

Yes it looks bad that they lost to a D2 school but it's an exhibition game where they play everybody for evaluation purposes.

Of course it isn't a death sentence. But if Iowa ends up on the bubble (and I just looked it up, they start the season at 36 per Kenpom so that's not an unreasonable prediction) I doubt the committee will overlook it as a tiebreaker.
November 6th, 2015 at 11:48 PM ^
The committee will have no idea they lost an exhibition game. They don't pay that close of attention.

It's not reasonable for the committee to consider games that don't count. While Iowa wasn't trying to lose, I doubt they were going all out to win, either. The committee is made up of ADs and conference commissioners and they actually explain their process and reasoning after they announce the field. I don't see any of them making an argument based on something they aren't supposed to consider.

have detected no mourning rituals, no sack cloth and ashes to be seen. suspect the press will suppress this news, the people will forget about the game and the chinese communist method of 'openness' will filter the news for the poor iowans i see....

Foreshadowing Iowa's inevitable loss to Indiana tomorrow. Book it.

YOU CALL THAT IMPROVING SHAREHOLDER VALUE?!

When my two year old gets really angry, she gets in a power stance, balls up her fists, holds her arms rigid and slightly above her sides, puts a twisted scowl on her face and starts to shake. I can't help but to laugh at the awkwardness of her whole routine. Instead of tantrums, I think I'll call them "Frans" from now on.

but it is not unprecedented...Ohio State lost to Findlay and MSU lost to GVSU in the same year, 2007. MSU was ranked 8th at the time.

Don't be so quick to dismiss, there is VERY good basketball being played at the lower levels.

Damn that was a nice shot...that guy, a DII AA, looks like he could play for most D1 teams.

I certainly have no idea what you are talking about...

As probably the only the only alumnus of Augustana on the MgoBoard, I must say, this is pretty frickin' cool. Augie (as we're affectionately known) is a really good D2 program. But yeah . . . D2 program. Oh Iowa . . .
November 6th, 2015 at 10:48 PM ^
Davenport, Iowa located in the quad cities (where Augie is located as well) and I go to the University of Iowa. Congrats to you guy's, big win.

Remember when GVSU beat State and we laughed and laughed and Izzo was on the decline? That was eight years ago. :(
