The Iowa Hawkeyes women’s basketball team has their fate. They are hosting the first two rounds of the women’s NCAA Tournament in Iowa City.
After a 26-6 overall season which saw a 15-3 Big Ten record to go with a repeat Big Ten Tournament title, the Hawkeyes had long ago eliminated the question of if they were going to make the tournament.
With an NCAA Tournament berth in hand, Iowa solely focused on just how high they could make their seed. In fact, the committee may have just gift-wrapped some serious bulletin board for the Hawkeyes to use this tournament.
Although the Hawkeyes provided an absolute mountain of evidence to prove why they were worthy of a No. 1 seed, the committee went another direction and has Iowa as a No. 2 seed in the Seattle Region.
Here is a quick look at the Hawkeyes’ opponent, the No. 15 seed Southeastern Louisiana, their record, the Hawkeyes’ potential opponents, and the rest of their region.
