Iowa Earns No. 2 Seed, Face Grand Canyon in 1st Round

I think it's interesting that former Suns player and coach Paul Westphal (RIP) won an NAIA title while coaching at GCU. They've got quite the history.

Why did you leave Arizona?

Born in Iowa, lived here till the age of 4. My dad sold his farm implement business in ‘84 and we moved to Mesa where my aunt had moved several years before.

My old man had a debilitating stroke in ‘87 and we moved back to Iowa in ‘92 to be closer to family.

Another one of these "unknown" schools that's pretty big.

GCU has 25,000 students on campus in Phoenix and 90,000 more online. It's actually been around since 1949. They offer over 200 programs in 9 different colleges. Athletics-wise, they've been D1 since the 2013-14 season as a member of the WAC. Former Phoenix Sun Dan Majerle was their HC until they canned him last Spring.

And...we're going to kick their ass.

How much is GCU paying you for this advertisement?
 


If Iowa is that nonchalant to play their el-matador defense and let GCNP hang around, then we deserve a quick exit. I expect more from a veteran team.

Some of the talking heads on Bracketology have Iowa facing Gonzaga in the elite 8 with all of them picking Gonzaga over Illinois in the finals. Experience in picking the brackets tells me it's not that easy. Somewhere one of the favorites is gonna stumble and bust the bracket.

I saw a similar, or maybe the same predictions. Just about all had us in the elite 8. Fine with me!
