A win over Wichita State should mean something, but not this version of Wichita State.
Three years ago, Iowa met Wichita State in the semifinals of one of those "major schools get a couple of home games against cupcakes, then meet in a neutral-court semifinal" contrivances at the Moon Palace Resort in Cancun (this was the infamous television broadcast where Eric May's dad had gotten a bit too much sun before giving an interview on how awesome the Moon Palace Resort was). Wichita was packed to the gills with big brutes, and they came at Iowa in waves.
