3 out of 5 in Sweet 16 are Big Ten teams!

I mean... Iowa took a big hit for losing to Clemson... but Clemson also beat Virginia and NC State.

And the more I look at Texas results.. C'mon man! Why were they invited outside of name?

I've been saying all year Iowa's 8 B10 wins are equal to about 12 wins in any other conference. This tournament is just proving this even more.

Iowa had some business to take care of in the non conference and again late in the season and failed to do so. As mentioned earlier, Iowa is a few horses shy this season but that's changing.

I think Iowa fans can take pride in knowing that this undermanned team competed very well in a tough league and be confident in our future based partially on that.

Before we say so proudly that the NCAA got it right concerning the Big Ten... ask yourself about these teams... Texas, Uconn, West Virginia, NC State, Virginia.... I think these teams got in at the cost of better Big Ten teams.

Virginia and NC State deserve to be in.

Virginia and NC State deserve to be in.

Virginia lost in the first round by 26 points and went 4-7 since the new year. The biggest win they had? Michigan.
They did beat Oregon pretty good though.
