8. Iowa. It's getting to the point where I'm starting to feel bad for Iowa. On Wednesday, I wrote a quick little update on the Hawkeyes' fading tournament hopes, explaining why their schedule, despite all its likely wins, wasn't exactly conducive to impressing the selection committee, that it would require the Hawks to win at least one big game on the road. Wisconsin could have been that game, but Iowa fell in double OT at the Kohl Center. Ouch. Throw that in with close losses to Indiana, Michigan State and at Minnesota, and, well, double ouch. Fran McCaffery's team is pretty good -- KenPom.com has them ranked No. 33 in the country -- and they play some of the fastest and most appealing hoops in the league. But these close losses are killers.
