Iowa basketball Bracketology roundup entering regular season’s penultimate week
With just four games to go in the regular season, the Iowa Hawkeyes are pretty firmly in the 2023 NCAA Tournament barring some sort of unforeseen implosion and collapse down the stretch. Where they will wind up in the tournament is still the largest looming question.
Their next four games include matchups against at least two teams currently projected to be in the tournament in Indiana and Michigan State with Wisconsin still looking to pad their résumé and punch their ticket.
Also looming is the Big Ten Tournament which is another chance for the Hawkeyes to continue to build their résumé and stack a handful of big time wins together to improve their seeding.
Right now, Iowa can be found anywhere as high as a No. 6 seed and as low as a No. 11 seed with the truth and realistic expectations lying somewhere in the middle. That is unless they run the table and win the Big Ten championship in a repeat title defense.
Here is a roundup of some of the Bracketology projections for the Hawkeyes as they head into their final four games of the regular season with who they are projected to meet.
