Too long of a break between games. Iowa was hot, and then sitting on their hands for 8 days brought them out rusty.

Here is my view. We lost tonight due to bad shooting, mostly by Perk. We were getting good shots, it was just an off night. Iowa can absolutely beat that team.

If we beat Ohio State and win the third try against Illinois, I still think this team sneaks into the tourney.

If not, NIT would not be the worst thing for a young team.

The way that Harding and Dix looked made me excited for next season. This team is talented, they are just young.

All good, North!
