Iowa, Iowa State, and Creighton will all play in the Midwest Region of the 2022 NCAA Tournament.

Iowa won their first Big Ten Tournament Championship since 2006 on Sunday with a win over Purdue. The Hawkeyes (26-9) were then tabbed as a 5-seed in the Midwest Region and will open up against 12-seeded Richmond (23-12). Iowa will play in Buffalo, NY.

Creighton came up short in the Big East Tournament Championship game to Villanova on Saturday but the Bluejays had a good run in the tourney. The Jays (22-11) were put in the Midwest Region as a 9 seed and will open up against 8th-seeded San Diego State (23-8). Creighton will play in Fort Worth, Texas.

Iowa State stumbled down the stretch of the regular season and were blown out by Texas Tech in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament. The Cyclones (20-12) rode their strong non-conference performance to the tournament and are an 11-seed. They will open up against 6th-seeded LSU (22-11). Iowa State will play in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
