So how does this work? Obviously I am rooting for the Hawks to play in Des Moines...for many reasons. Does the committee try to keep them close to home if they are a 1 or 2 seed?

 

[1hawkeye1]

All I can say is, isu better get their *** in gear if they wanna be a 4 seed.

My understanding is that top 2 seeds close to home

 

[SteveGarvey]

I say it's against the odds still that we end up a top 2 seed but we can hope.

 

[NCHawker]

Michigan state is over rated.

 

[PCHawk]

Saw a tweet where someone asked Lanardi what it would take for Iowa to play in Des Moines and he said a 3 seed should do it.

1 team NO ONE wants to play.
