HAWKEYES RECEIVE 5 SEED, WILL FACE RICHMOND IN BUFFALO, NY

Following the Iowa Hawkeyes VICTORY over the Purdue Boilermakers, we didn’t have to way that long to find out who and where the Hawks would be playing next: 12-seeded Richmond Spiders. Such is the benefit of playing so close to the Selection Show. The Hawks received a 5 seed for their efforts.

Richmond hails from the Atlantic 10, going 23-12 overall and 10-8 in conference play. The Spiders went 4-for-4 to receive the auto bid, with wins over Rhode Island, VCU, Dayton, and Davidson.

The winner of the Hawkeye-Richmond game will play the winner of the game between the 4-seeded Providence Friars and 13-seeded South Dakota State Jackrabbits.
