Catch fire at the right time and be in the bracketology discussion on ESPN. Iowa is a nice story for those of us who follow the team, but not a compelling regional or national story. With a win tonight, this will change. Suddenly IL is being talked about as a legitimate bubble / tourney team after being tossed on the junk pile 2-3 weeks ago.
If Iowa can get on the radar by winning the last 2 games, win 1 in the BTT and not get blown out in game 2, I think they are as viable as a dozen other teams with similar resumes.
