Iowa basketball has a pair of Sweet-16 contenders in 2022 NCAA Tournament

It was a big weekend in Iowa basketball with the women's team taking care of business in the Big Ten Tournament by beating Northwestern, Nebraska, and Indiana for the third time each to take home the championship. This sets Lisa Bluder's Iowa Hawkeye squad up nicely for the 2022 NCAA Tournament. Meanwhile, on the men's side, Fran McCaffery's Iowa basketball team fell short of victory on the road vs Illinois, but there was a lot to love in defeat. And if we are being honest, this team looks like a team that could make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.  We break down both teams' performances and what it means for March Madness before turning our attention to a disappointing but understandable showing in Lincoln for the Iowa men's wrestling program.
