The Iowa Hawkeyes are riding a two-game winning streak after a bit of a skid, yet the NCAA Tournament projections do not seem to be rewarding Ben McCollum’s squad for getting their overall record to 14-5 with a 4-4 mark in Big Ten play.

While Iowa gets some rest and readies for the Big Ten stretch run, check out the latest bracketology update.
