Jan 28 ESPN Bracketology has 9 B1G Teams in NCAA Tourney. Jan 27 Bracket Matrix has 9 B1G Teams dancing as well

UCLA is really a must win if we’re going to have more than a blah-borderline NCAA team.
Pretty tall order for a "must win" game. Second game of a West Coast swing against a talented team with their backs against the wall.

Still...their crowd won't give them much of an advantage and Cronin may have very well lost this UCLA team.
 
After last night's loss at USC, Lunardi still has Iowa as one of the last 4 teams in.

Hey! We're a "notable" team!!

Take that, all you nihilists who say Iowa basketball is irrelevant!

I'm adding this to upper division finishes as yet one more reason to retain Fran -- he made us notable!
