Neither is very impressive, but Iowa's is really bad and obviously Iowa is trending down and ISU is trending up at the moment.
Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

9-9 is actually pretty good. The 9th best record in the NCAA tournament all-time sits at only 66%.

Making the NCAA tournament field is impressive, but it's winning in March that's really impressive. Here are the nine teams with the best historical NCAA tournament winning percentage.

How's 9-9 not good? 1-1 in The tourney is a pretty acceptable outcome most years. Only the top 16 teams go better than that. That means we're getting in most years and averaging 1 win when we do. Which is better than a lot of programs.

.500 record and 3 sweet 16s is a solid showing for a non-blue blood like ISU
The flaw in your logic is you are assuming Iowa will beat them. Iowa is broken right now. Now doubt Iowa has better team, but that doesn't guarantee a victory.
I wonder how many teams have more than 9 wins in the NCAA tournament in the last 13 years. I could be totally off base here, but I'm guessing a fair amount have more than 9 wins.
You should be more worried about who has less than 9 wins in the last 13 years....
And if Iowa doesn't it will be simply because they played them when FA&M was fresh.
That's FAMU, which rhymes with Shamoo, which is how the Iowa team plays defense.
(roll, infomercial of guy stumbling with hose and cleaning products and comparison to Iowa player with same stumbling/bumbling actions).
Well my #1 guess was right.9-9 is actually pretty good. The 9th best record in the NCAA tournament all-time sits at only 66%.

UCONN with 5 in 24 years is pretty impressive. And they are strung out so not same group winning 2 in 3 years or something like that. Duke had 5 in 24 years also.
No wonder he got ejected last game. His seat was/is getting warm/hot.
Yep - you are absolutely correct. If the Hoks lose that one, it will definitely be a sign that there are much deeper issues with that team than an overall lack of athleticism & toughness.

I'm not a great statistician, but based on these two conferences, 9 tournament wins in the past 13 years seems to be about average. Iowa is for sure below average.
