At 3 p.m., possible NCAA foes for Iowa, ISU, UNI

This will be rendered moot and perhaps foolish with a glaring omission or omissions two hours or so after it was published.

Nonetheless, in the name of useless busy work, I give you possible NCAA tournament opponents for the men's basketball teams of Iowa's three state schools:

IOWA

This assumes Iowa is a No. 7 or 8 seed.

BYU (25-9)

: Finished second to Gonzaga in the West Coast Conference at 13-5, lost to Gonzaga in the WCC tourney title game.

Davidson (24-7)

: Was the Atlantic 10 regular-season champ at 14-4, lost by 20 points to VCU in the league tourney semifinals.

Dayton (25-8)

: Tied for second in the Atlantic 10 at 13-5, lost to VCU 71-65 in Sunday's A-10 title game.

Georgia (21-11):

Tied for third in the SEC at 11-7.

Mississippi (20-12):

Tied for third in the SEC at 11-7.

San Diego State (26-8)

: Tied for the Mountain West regular-season championship at 14-4, lost to Wyoming in the MWC tourney final.
