I do not blame Creme picking the Hawkeyes to take the regional over us. We have not looked good lately, whether it's our offense or our inability to hang onto leads. Furthermore, Iowa's offense will be difficult to stop and while their defense is vulnerable, our offensive attack has been looking predictable and anemic recently and may not take full advantage.
And if hunger plays a factor, I am sure Iowa is more than motivated to make a Final Four (for the first time in 30 years) and being "snubbed" for a #1 seed, compared to our speculation that perhaps the team is a little complacent given that we are only two years removed from a national title.
