very good game , back and forth all night , 2 final four caliber teams no question .. Iowa down 1 with a little over 5 minutes to play ESPN
 
I think that would apply for the rest of the schedule as well---they all seem to be getting better but us
People either don't want to get it or really don't get it but Pitt is right on the verge of tanking the rest of the season. They have looked awful for a while now. If they don't right the ship soon they will be lucky to win 3 more games the rest of the year and that may be optimistic.
 
Two teams that were barely NIT caliber 2 years ago. In fact, Iowa was at the bottom of the Big Ten when McCaffrey was hired, even below Penn State.

Pitt swept Maryland handily in the one year they where in the ACC together. So how within 2 years, did they recruit top players and vault into the top 10?
 
Two good teams yes, but I really don't think Iowa has a chance to make the Final Four. They run into an athletic team in the tourney and I think it's over for them. They're a really good team I just think there's a lot of teams in other conferences that would be bad matchups for them. Maryland probably has a much better chance, and even they may have some troubles in the tourney. I think the Big Ten is pretty down this year with MSU struggling, but I think Maryland and Iowa are definitely the two best teams in the conference.
