The Big Ten Tournament was a resounding successful for the Hawkeyes and one that ended in our first outright B1G championship in one decade.
However, there was one prominent black-eye that came from the weekend and that was our former All-American and #2 seeded Kaleb Young going 0-2 and failing to auto-qualify for the NCAA’s; the only Hawkeye to do so.
We knew there was a strong possibility that Young would garner an at-large bid, but that was certainly no guarantee and it made for a strenuous 48 hours as we sat around waiting for the remaining names to drop.
