Ok…let’s get into this.

Iowa needed to prove to a lot of people that they were for real. After the blowout loss to Michigan, the doubters (me) got very vocal. And then it’s a road game at #4 Ohio State.

And then there’s Drake. 25-2 is a lock for the NCAA Tournament and it SHOULD be good enough for Drake to get in but…. after the Bradley loss, even at 24-3, the tournament committee may LOOK your way again.  Lose in the MVC? And, well….their eyes will look like this.

I’ve got more on both Iowa & Drake in my latest mini podcast. I’d love for you to listen, subscribe & hit me with your thoughts on twitter @mikewickett !!
