Picture this: the Iowa men’s basketball team finally ends its NCAA tournament drought by earning a #10 seed. Matched up against the seventh-seeded Cincinnati Bearcats, the Hawkeyes’ potent offensive attack grinds to a halt as they struggle to adjust to their opponent’s stout interior defense. Iowa’s three-point shooting, which has been an essential component of its offensive success for much of the season, goes cold when the Hawkeyes need it the most, as they shoot only 5-17 from beyond the arc. Iowa falls to Cincinnati by the score of 76-64, ending the Hawkeyes’ tournament run before it can even begin.
