It’s Monday morning and for the first time in three years, Iowa fans are waking up following a Selection Sunday with a vested interest in the games to be played in the coming week. As exciting as that is, it comes with a bit of a bad taste.
The Hawkeyes earned a 10 seed in the NCAA Tournament yesterday. Despite the late season slide, that’s lower than just about anyone predicted going into the weekend. Sure, there were the typical Chicken Littles telling us Iowa was on the bubble or that they weren’t going to make it at all.
