I am convinced as long as Syracuse has a winning record they get at large bids.

Agree. No true Iowa fan would EVER root for ISU.
Again...no true Iowa fan would ever root for ISU. You don’t see ISU fans rooting for Iowa. Nuts to ‘em.....hope ISU loses every game in every sport.
Weren’t they both a 2 and both in DSM? Or are you saying that they were a higher two
Des Moines pulls pretty good draw. MSU, Michigan Florida and the goofers. Should be a fun weekend downtown
I looked up Cinn as I know nothing about them.
Going to be a tough match up as it appears they're very guard oriented. Something like 7 of their players averaging 30+ mins are listed as guards and we of course struggle against quick, defensive oriented guards. A top 25 team essentially playing a home game is going to be a tough game.
On the positive side, their only top 25 win came against Houston in their conference tournament, lost to our only common opponent (OSU), and really hasn't played nearly as challenging of a schedule as IA from what I can tell.
It's possible but going to be a tall order to come out of Columbus with a W.

Michigan is the higher 2. They get Gonzaga, meanwhile MSU gets Duke
I see lots of ISU fans root for Iowa. I guess I’m just not a true fan though so what do I know?
Pretty sure Mich was in the West bracket. I know I was shocked to see MSU in the East. Figured they’d be the #1 two seed
I know....my mistake. I deleted the post. Don’t know what I was thinking!
Pretty sure I can. We had a vote. I speak for the whole fan base. You must have missed it.
Amen, brother. No reason to root for ISU. Will never understand people that do. Dumb.
Easy to explain. Born and raised in the great state of Iowa. Pride for my state will always trump the relative pettiness of college athletics.
I'm an Iowa Hawkeye fan. ISU winning or being relevant hurts Iowa far more than it helps. Really simple logic. Fvck ISU.
This.
Just cause your from the same geographic area? Crap that crap. Screw the rival school
No I don't think there's another # 7 I'd rather not play...
Nah, they could've easily swapped them with Seton Hall and put Minnesota in Kentucky's bracket.
The chairman stated St. Johns was the last at large in. They're an 11.
Last at large I think was #45. So yeah actually we were a bit closer than some believed. If we had lost to Illinois, we may have been in some deep sh!t.
