I can't find anything to support it. Not saying its not 8 p.m. Friday, but you would think there would be a tweet or two about it.

I wasted an afternoon of being outside for college spring break in Puerto Vallarta to take a cab to Senior Frogs to watch it. Worst idea ever.

Some might question why Minnesota, and even Bradley, play in Des Moines while Iowa plays Cincy in a virtual home game in Columbus. Why not Iowa in DM and Minny in Columbus?
This will be Cincy's 9th straight NCAA appearance. They've lost in the first round only once, lost in the second round 4 times, the third 3 times and made the regional semi final once, in '12. They're averaged 29 wins over the last 3 years.
Playing in Ohio sucks, but their fan base isn’t overwhelming. Of the top 8 teams, TN doesn’t worry me as much as the others. When Iowa plays well, we can beat any team in the nation. Obviously, when we don’t, we stink. New season. Let’s go!

WE Should have been an 11 seed, right at our ranking. Would have liked that better... Oh well. 85% of first round games are tough. And pretty much everything after is a battle.

Cincy is overrated..they have not had many quality wins. Should be winnable for Iowa.
Cincy's enrollment is 44,000. They have a big fan base and a tremendous basketball history and passionate fans. The in laws are there and so I follow them somewhat. Bad matchup for us...
Actually Cincy is known for regularly making the tournament, then not doing much.
Not worried regarding their history.
They were a 2 seed last year, lost to a 7.
Made the sweet 16 like 6 years ago, then lost to a B1G team.
In as a 5 one year, lost to a 12 seed.
Not worried. At all.
Not sure what to think about an early game. Probably best to get right to it rather than being nervous all day.
They almost always win the first game, though.
I am not thrilled with our draw, but it is definitely a game the Hawks can win.
Lol honestly that's about how I see this going. Physical Cincinnati team against our streaky and less-physical group that isn't quite ready yet.
Just hope that next year's regular season (and conf. tourney) goes about like that following season went after that 2005 game.....
i started in a 14k hole... Douche. Please do us all a favor and choose a new team
Iowa is gonna have be tough on the boards and value the ball. Cinci plays tough physical basketball. Luka/Tyler/Ryan are gonna have to battle and play through contact. Guards are gonna have to score!
Btw we have a chance to possibly avenge two tournament losses in that first weekend.
2005- 1st Rd Cincinnati 76, Iowa 64 (Iowa finished 21-12)
2014- First Four Tennessee 78, Iowa 65 OT (Iowa finished 20-13)

I’ll contribute to catching you back up Bro D. I don’t care too much for like shaming ‘round these parts.
The Tenn game didn’t count remember? It was a play in game, therefore the Hawks never lost that game.
Don't know about a loss but after last season we finished in the top 6, won 22, and got to dance. I like that.
I saw a theory on the Cincy board that since they were seeded lower than expected, the committee balanced it out by putting them close to home.
What I thought was strange was a potential Minnesota-Mich St matchup in the second round of games. Conference rivals rarely meet that early in the bracket.
There shouldn't be any balancing like that from the committee though......
Ok, man. Fair enough.
We're back in the tourney, a hell of a lot more fun than last year. I think Cincy is a tough matchup and Tennessee has the kind of athletes that...well..we don't. But hey...it's the Big Dance. Everybody is good and anything can happen. Let's see what the guys can do
I'll tune in and support the Hawks Friday...like I always do. We can talk about the 2019 "body of work" after the tourney run is done.
GO Hawks!
Cumberland is a big 6’5, so that’s why I feel Cook and his strength will matchup better.
That may be, but knowing Fran, that will equate to a lot of Baer on him.
