The Iowa Hawkeyes are making a return to the NCAA Tournament and are going to have a very real shot to win their first game when things get underway. Ben McCollum and the Hawkeyes have earned a No. 9 seed in this year's bracket and will take on the No.

9-seeded Clemson Tigers from the ACC. With tip-off set for 5:50 p. m.

CT on Friday, March 20, from Tampa, Florida, the Hawkeyes have a few days to dig into the film and analytics of the Tigers, who enter the tournament 24-10 overall. Iowa will need to avoid a slow start, or the tournament could be over as fast as it gets underway. With the tournament looming, CBS Sports dug into the entire field and ranked each team from No.

1 to No. 68 , and the Hawkeyes find themselves very much in the middle as the No. 31-ranked team in the field.
