South No. 7 Iowa Hawkeyes (Overall: 21-10, Conf: 12-6)<\/h2>\n

Team Strengths<\/h3>\n

Iowa has the makings of a national championship contender. They swept the likes of Purdue and even Michigan State to earn considerations as possible national title favorites. But the Hawkeyes had a horrible 2-6 stretch entering the Big Dance. Nevertheless, Iowa remains a very well-rounded team ranking 57th<\/sup> in points per game (78.1), 68th<\/sup> in rebounds per game (38.4), 32nd<\/sup> in assists per game (16) and 96th<\/sup> in points allowed per game (68.7).<\/p>\n

Team Weaknesses<\/h3>\n

\"March-Madness---News-Banners_250x130_v2\"<\/a><\/p>Defense seems to have failed Iowa. Gone was the solid defense that earned them considerations as national title contenders. They allowed 74.3 points per game during their horrid 2-6 rut towards the end of the season.<\/p>\n
