Minnesota was 9.5 point favorites. Losing to them was expected.
If Iowa doesn't make the tournament, it's due to the loss at Purdue and failing down the stretch.
Every home game is winnable. The games on the road are at Wisconsin, Penn State, Nebraska, and Indiana.
Still 9 games remaining. They have to go 6-3 and win 2 games in the Big 10 tournament to have a realistic chance.
Winning at Wisconsin and having a solid road win would be beneficial, too.
Basically, they control their own destiny to make the tournament (obviously every team can say that by winning the conference tournament).
