Turnovers 32 11

POST-GAME THOUGHTS

Minnesota looked like a team needy for a win, and Iowa looked like they didn't care. However, the Hawkeyes pulled off the citory off of turnovers, and little thanks to shooting. A very close loss to the #2 team could help the Gophers.

Semifinals
#3 Iowa St. #2 UMass

20/12 14/16
Blocks/Steals 2/1 4/1
Turnovers 32 15

POST-GAME THOUGHTS

UMass couldn't hit anything shooting 28% from the field. Iowa St. tried to help out the Minutemen with 32 turnovers, but UMass couldn't be helped as the Cyclones make a strong case for the Dance, a 27 point win.

Championship
#3 Iowa St. #1 Iowa
Points 74 62
Rebounds
Defensive/Offensive
29/9 24/5
Blocks/Steals 5/0 2/0
Turnovers 1 15

POST-GAME THOUGHTS

Maybe Iowa will take this as a wake up call into the Big Dance. They need to hold on to the ball better, and take smarter shots to improve that percentage. And the Cyclones will try to keep rolling with this great momentum as they earn the Auto Bid.
