Projection: likely out

Iowa's resume shows a strong offensive capability, as evidenced by their high-scoring games against teams like Nebraska and New Orleans. However, they struggle defensively, illustrated by their losses to top teams such as Michigan and Iowa State, where they allowed over 85 points. Consistency is key, and their inability to secure wins against ranked opponents like Purdue and Maryland hampers their tournament chances. Upcoming games against teams like Illinois and Northwestern are crucial; victories may improve their standing, but further losses, especially to lower-ranked teams, would likely push them further out of the conversation for the tournament.
