Projection: likely out

Iowa's resume is struggling due to significant defensive shortcomings, as evidenced by their inability to consistently stop opponents, exemplified by losses to teams like Wisconsin and Maryland where they conceded over 100 points. While the offense shows promise, ranking well in scoring, the team's overall performance against higher-ranked opponents, including defeats to Iowa State and Purdue, raises concerns about their capacity to compete in the tournament. Furthermore, a lack of quality wins combined with an over-reliance on scoring could hinder their chances, especially as they face tougher competition in the upcoming games, which could further jeopardize their standing if they can't secure critical victories.
