I feel bad for NW - they have 6 guy rotation and 5 of them will be working in accounting firms within 24 months.  They dont have 1 guy who plays above the rim - total mismatch in athleticism.  They have to play the whole game and if you get 2 fouls you are basically screwed since there is no backup to rest / protect you.  WTF is wrong with Iowa.

If NW can get this to single digits before half, then they have a shot.

MSU is shooting %50+, and is thriving on TO's. Correct those TO's and MSU cools off, and NW has this in the bag.

then you have to keep in mind that Iowa played like a three seed for the first 25 games.

What to do?  At present, they suck, but they would have been a reasonable outside-the-popular favorites pick for National Champion in a 50+-entrant March Madness pool in mid-February.

They will be back to thinking they are going to win the national title after rolling NW tonight. They will be back to reality after Wisconsin beats them tomorrow.
