Iowa by 14.

Consistency
Here's our three point shooting each game (minus Illinois) starting with the Maryland loss where things really went downhill. Even in the Nebraska game where we made 10 we still missed 16.
Michigan 1 of 16
Nebraska 10 of 26
Wisconsin 5 of 22
Rutgers 8 of 29
Ohio State 6 of 19
Indiana 7 of 25
Maryland 8 of 26
45 of 163 = 27.6%
We are a team that relies on good shooting to make up for our deficiencies in other areas. We haven't gotten that at all over the past 8 games outside of the Illinois game. We were shooting 40% from 3 prior to these past 8 games.
I just saw on ESPN Cincy has a 62% chance if winning, for what it's worth.

#3 Purdue at #6 Villanova in second rdIf our situation was reversed with Iowa being the #2 seed and legit Final 4 contender I'd be pissed with the prospect of them having to play a second round road game.
But the committee does dumb shit like this from time to time.
I remember back in the 1990s when Duke was a #2 seed and had to play #7 Iowa in a second round game in Minneapolis.
#2 Michigan St might have to play #10 Minnesota in Des Moines. About 4 hours from their campus.
#3 Purdue at #6 Villanova in second rd
3 Big10 teams in same sub-regional.

hope I'm wrong, but I don't think we got a prayer in hell of beating them on their home court with about an 80% fan base rootin' 4 them.

Good Q... How these games are called can be huge. Other conferences have to be tighter then what BIG refs are. If we actually go inside to Cook and Garza a lot and not pick and roll them outside all the time who knows. Get them in foul trouble early and we hit some 3s and what do you know? Maybe the formula that worked so well the first 15 games of the year or so would now too...Have they said what conference the refs are from yet?
