Women's NCAA Tournament: Iowa, Iowa State and Drake learn March Madness fates

Women's NCAA Tournament: Iowa, Iowa State and Drake learn March Madness fates
RIGHT NOW, AND TONIGHT. THE BRACKETS ARE SET IN MARCH. MADNESS IS IN FULL SWING. THIS IS THE MOMENT FIVE IOWA TEAMS LEARNED THEIR DESTINATIONS IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT. IT HAS BEEN A BUSY SELECTION NIGHT. WE WANT TO START WITH vlog SPORTS DIRECTOR SCOTT REISTER TO BREAK IT ALL DOWN FOR US. SCOTT TODD, WE GOT IT RIGHT HERE. HOT OFF THE PRESS, THE BRACKETS, THE MEN’S, THE WOMEN’S. LOTS OF INFO FOR YOU AND LET’S START WITH THE IOWA STATE MEN. THEY KNEW BY ALL ACCOUNTS THEY’D GET TO OPEN TOURNAMENT PLAY IN OMAHA. WHAT THEY DIDN’T KNOW IS WHETHER THERE WOULD BE A ONE OR A TWO NEXT TO THEIR NAME. THEY DIDN’T GET THAT ONE. SEED WOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST IN SCHOOL HISTORY, BUT A TWO SEED, AN INCREDIBLE FEAT, HADN’T BEEN A TWO SINCE 2001. THE BIG 12 TOURNAMENT CHAMPS JUST HAD THREE STRAIGHT BLOWOUT WINS IN CASEY THERE IN THE EAST REGION. AND IT’S ALL ABOUT OMAHA FOR BASKETBALL FANS OF BOTH IOWA STATE AND DRAKE. CHECK THIS OUT. TJ ALTENBERGER IS GOING TO TAKE ON HIS FORMER TEAM, SOUTH DAKOTA STATE. HIS FIRST HEAD COACHING STOP THURSDAY. 635 ON TRU TV. WINNER WILL GET THE WINNER OF THAT LATE GAME IN OMAHA. DRAKE AND WASHINGTON STATE. THE DRAKE. THAT’S A LOOK AT DRAKE AS THEY SAW THEIR NAME ON THE SCREEN. BACK IN THE NCAA TOURNAMENT FOR THE SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR PLAYING IN OMAHA AND POSSIBLY EVEN FACING IOWA STATE IN ROUND TWO. IF DRAKE OR IOWA STATE WINS TWICE IN OMAHA, THEIR NEXT STOP WOULD BE BOSTON. UCONN IS THE TOP SEED IN THE EAST REGION. THE HAWKEYE WOMEN, AS EXPECTED, THE NUMBER ONE SEED. BUT IT DIDN’T MAKE IT ANY LESS SWEET. CAITLIN KIRK AND COMPANY OUT OF THEIR SEATS CHEERING. THEY ARE IN THE ALBANY TWO REGION. THE BIG TEN TOURNAMENT CHAMPS WENT 29 AND FOUR, MAKING THE FINAL FOUR IN CLEVELAND IS GOING TO BE HARD. THEIR REGION HAS THE TWO SEED, UCLA AND THE THREE SEED IS THE DEFENDING NATIONAL CHAMPS, LSU. THOSE GAMES WHERE THEY START WILL BE IOWA CITY. WE DON’T KNOW TIMES OF THE WOMEN’S GAMES YET, BUT WE DO KNOW THAT THE IOWA WOMEN WILL BE PLAYING ON SATURDAY AND MONDAY. HERE’S CAITLIN CLARK ON TWO MORE GAMES FOR HER HAWKEYES ON OUR HOME COURT. REALLY FORTUNATE AND LUCKY AND KIND OF KNOWING, YOU KNOW, EVERY TIME I TAKE THE COURT COULD BE MY LAST. AND, YOU KNOW, SOAKING THAT IN AND GOING OUT THERE AND PLAYING MY HEART OUT. BUT ANY TIME YOU GET TO HOST IS A HUGE ADVANTAGE. AND I EXPECT OUR FANS TO TRAVEL REALLY WELL. IF WE CAN ADVANCE OUT OFF OF OUR TWO GAMES HERE, OFF OUR HOME COURT. SO, UM, YEAH, I THINK MORE THAN ANYTHING I’M JUST EXCITED AND GOING TO TRY TO SOAK IN THE MOMENT. AND I KNOW THAT TICKETS ARE GOING TO BE HARD TO COME BY. YES, THEY WILL. CYCLONE WOMEN BACK IN THE DANCE FOR THE FIFTH STRAIGHT YEAR AND THE 15TH IN THE PAST 17 LOVE THE KIDS DANCING. THEY MADE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE BIG 12 TOURNAMENT FINAL AND THEY GOT A SEVEN SEED IN THE PORTLAND FOUR REGION, WHERE TEXAS IS THE TOP SEED, AND WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT DAY THEY’RE PLAYING YET. BUT WE DO KNOW THAT THEY’RE HEADED TO PALO ALTO TO PLAY IN THE STANFORD REGION. AND IF IOWA STATE WINS TWICE, UH, THEY DO HEAD TO PORTLAND. THE DRAKE WOMEN HAD TO WIN THE MISSOURI VALLEY CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP. GAME TODAY. THEY WERE DOWN ONE WITH 2.6 SECONDS LEFT. HERE’S THE SEASON, FOLKS. SO THEY GO TO ANNA BO AND THE INSIDE AT THE BUZZER AND IT DROPS AS DRAKE WINS A INCREDIBLE, THRILLING GAME. 7675.
