Iowa vs. Cincinnati

Tom:  The Hawkeyes struggled down the stretch. The Bearcats did not and won the AAC conference tournament.

Blake:  Iowa has shown some bright spots this season and would be a team I would like to pick to win a game in the tournament. However, I believe Cincinnati is under seeded, and a dangerous team. The Bearcats win this by double digits in Columbus.

Shayne:  Iowa has been reeling at the end of the season and their fate didn’t get much better as they were matched up with a Cincinnati team that many believe was under seeded at the seven seed. The Bearcats had just gotten done defeating Houston in the American Athletic Conference Championship and they will be too much for a sputtering Hawkeyes squad.

CL:  If the game was being played somewhere else I would take Iowa. Since it will almost a home game for Cincinnati I can’t. I’ll take the Bearcats.
