Just about two weeks ago, we took a first look at Iowa State’s chances of playing in Des Moines for the first and second round of the NCAA Tournament. Three wins later Iowa State has improved their resume, but the task still remains tough. While it was previously thought that a 3 seed would be enough to land a couple of games at Wells Fargo, it unfortunately appears to be a little more complicated than that.
In the last installment of this series, we explained how the location of first round sites may be spread out geographically, but they are nowhere close to being balanced in proximity to the nation’s best teams.
