[QUOTE="Second place is 1st loser, post: 2029424, member: 749504"] Ultimately, outside of pride and wanting to take down a top 5 team and feeling more confident as a fan base going into the tournament....an L or a W didn't really matter. Unless NW pulls a stunner, we're going to finish 2nd in the conference, we're going to be the #2 seed in the conference and it would have taken beating Iowa and getting to the championship game to get us deep into the discussion for a #3 seed. If we win our first round game, whether we play a #5 or a #6....it really doesn't matter. It's still a top 25 caliber team on a neutral court. It's more of a bummer that we'll get over versus a game that had huge implications on our season. [/QUOTE]
