No one should have put any stock in Iowa to begin with. They were the third or fourth best team in a conference in a down year. Evidence also, the third and fourth best teams from the Big 12, also in a down year, also lost in the first round. Neither conference had anything this year, the records are inflated. Smaller conference schools who got squeezed really have an argument this year about power conference bias.
Not that I need to explain that a team that chokes to a 14 seed is probably not that good, but...
Heck Iowa might not even be the best Iowa team in the tourney.
