Iowa State is a No. 7 seed and will play against 10th-seeded Marist in Durham, N.C. on Saturday.

Northern Iowa (27-5) earned a No. 13 seed and will face fourth-seeded Michigan State in Wichita, Kan. on Sunday night.

The Hawkeyes (22-8) lost to Ohio State in the Big Ten tournament, snapping a five-game losing streak.

The Cyclones (22-10) reached the NCAA tournament for the fifth straight season.

The Panthers, who have won 19 straight games, will be making their second NCAA appearance in a row. They were beaten by top-seeded Nebraska a year ago.
