Unbelievable March Madness Upsets Brewing: Which Underdogs Could Shock the NCAA Second Round?
5. No. 9 Iowa over No. 1 Florida
Why it could happen: Florida’s Achilles’ heel could be its guard play. The Gators were exposed a little by Vanderbilt in the SEC tournament. Iowa is led by AP All-American Honorable Mention Bennett Stirtz, who could cause problems for Boogie Fland and Xavien Lee to defend. The Hawkeyes play slow and can win if they dictate the pace.
Why it won’t happen: The Gators are coming off one of the most dominant wins in NCAA Tournament history. Iowa cannot match up with Florida’s big men, giving the Gators the opportunity for several second-chance plays. Ultimately, Florida is more talented and deeper than Iowa.
