Where is Iowa basketball in ESPN's updated bracketology?
The Hawkeyes basketball team, led by coach Ben McCollum, recently secured a spot at the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament. As they enter their second year, the team has bolstered its roster with the additions of Illinois State guard Ty Reek Coleman and Saint Mary's center Andrew McKeever. This season, Iowa is projected to be a NCAA Tournament team in ESPN's updated bracketology but is positioned on the bubble as one of the last four byes.
The Hawkeyes are currently a No. 10 seed in the South Region in San Antonio, facing a potential matchup with No. 7 seed Miami in the first round. Other key matchups in the South Region include Florida vs. No. 16 American/Auburn, North Carolina vs. No. 9 Saint Mary's, Tennessee vs. No. 12 Illinois State, and Michigan vs. No. 15 Central Arkansas.
The updated bracketology also places the No. 1 seeds in each region, with No. 1 Duke in the East, No. 1 Florida in the South, No. 1 Arizona in the West, and No. 1 Illinois in the Midwest. On the bubble, Iowa joins a list of other teams, including Wisconsin, Providence, and Texas A&M, while NC State, Xavier, Oklahoma State, and Cincinnati are among the teams on the bubble that made it into the tournament.
