Did Kenpom value ISU as top 16? Iowa lost because they ran out of steam and did not hit shots, much like the team that Won the big 12 tournament a few years ago from Ames.
ISU road a hot hand and caught breaks is all I am saying. Much like St Peters did.
Ran out of steam?
Wasn't that called 'trajectory'?
What hot hand did ISU ride? They were terrible on offense in the tourney but about on par defensively. The B1G champ Badgers couldn't handle seeing a defense for the first time in three months.
Iowa wasn't that good just like ISU in 2019 wasn't consistently that good, or how 2015 ISU struggled if the opponent got into them.
