Both the Iowa Hawkeyes (19-13, 11-9) and Auburn Tigers (20-12, 10-8) are looking to put a different spin on their season with an NCAA Tournament run. Iowa entered the final week with a chance at a second place finish & double-bye in the conference tournament but lost their final two games after torching Indiana. The Tigers 16-3 start contrasts with their 4-9 close.
Considering the additional blogs we’ve gotten up this week, we’ll get straight to it, but only after plugging them:

- Auburn stats & dispelling the distance from home in first round games & thoughts after watching some condensed games
