		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m assuming the strength of schedule being 36 is referring to their conference schedule.  CBS Sports has their entire season SOS at 104.

Iowa is going to be an interesting case.  If they go 4-1 the rest of the way they&#039;d be 10-8 and 21-10, or if they go 3-2 the rest of the way they&#039;d be 9-9 in 20-11 going into the conference tournament, or if they go 4-1.  Assuming a loss to Indiana they&#039;d be 1-6 against the top 5 teams in the Big 10, with the only win a home victory against Wisconsin.  As previously mentioned their non-conference schedule was a joke.  They lost on a neutral court to Wichita State and got killed in their only true road game against Virginia Tech, who is 2-10 in the ACC.  Their only decent non-conference wins were a home game against Iowa State and a neutral court against Northern Iowa, and neither of those wins are great.  Even at 10-8 in the Big 10 that still doesn&#039;t look like an NCAA tournament resume because they don&#039;t have any great wins.]]></description>
