Rankings from AP Poll *Wisconsin forfeited all games after Jan 25, 1982 due to NCAA sanctions. Disputed record (3–15, 6–23) |
In mid-February, Iowa was 18–2 and ranked fifth in the AP poll,[1] but then dropped five of their final seven games. In the last three games of the regular season, all losses, two went to overtime and the third was by a point.
The Hawkeyes received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament as the sixth-seed in the West Regional. In the opening round at Pullman, Washington, Iowa defeated Northeast Louisiana by seven,[2][3][4] but fell 69–67 in overtime to local favorite and #3 seed Idaho in the Round of 32,[5][6][7] and finished at 21–8 overall.
