The Iowa Hawkeyes got what we had all been hoping for earlier this week. They picked up a blowout win over Northwestern last Sunday and were rewarded with the coveted 1 seed when fresh brackets were released earlier this week.
Then the wheels fell off on Thursday night. Despite jumping out to an early lead and looking to put things on cruise control once again, CJ Fredrick missed the second half of Iowa’s matchup with Indiana while Jordan Bohannon had one the his worst shooting performances of his career. The Hoosiers were able to pack it in on Luka Garza and Iowa had the worst stretch of offensive output in recent memory.
