unfortunately, I think Little Debbie gets at least 1 NCAA Tournament win.

I'm starting to agree. Fortunately for us the bubble had a bad weekend. I think 10/12 of Lunardi's last 4 byes, last 4 in, and first 4 out lost this past weekend which helped Iowa from sliding. Hard to see them not making it at this point. A disaster scenario of a loss to oregon/Maryland then multiple bid steslers could push them to opening round in Dayton though

When was Iowa ever in danger of not making the NCAA Tournament?

Is Florida still a #1 seed after their loss in the SEC semifinals?

They seem like the one #1 that we'd "prefer" to face in the 2nd round

I don't know if this is the year to perseverate about the 8/9 spot.

The 1 seeds don't strike much more fear in me than the 2 seeds do.

With our slow pace of play & our defense, I think we have a shot.

Those slow starts are worrisome, however.
