The only questions remaining for the Cyclones are about their seeding (will they be a No. 2 or No. 3?) and whether they'll be playing in Omaha, the closest to Ames among the eight host locations for the first and second rounds.Meanwhile, Drake finished the regular season on a high note, winning seven of its last eight games to grab the No. 2 seed in the upcoming Missouri Valley Conference Tournament. Drake will play Friday, March 8, versus the winner of Illinois State and Evansville, needing three wins in three days to win the conference tournament title and clinch an automatic bid.Drake could potentially get in without winning the conference's auto-bid, but it's not likely; the MVC has only sent multiple teams to the NCAA Tournament once (2021) since 2016.Iowa is starting to creep into the at-large conversation thanks to a strong second half of Big Ten play.
