The Iowa Hawkeyes are in the midst of a tailspin, but Jarrod Uthoff has remained consistent.

The 6-9, 210-pound senior from Cedar Rapids, Iowa has averaged almost 19 points per game this season for an Iowa team that once found itself in the top five of the Associates Press Top 25 poll.

The Hawkeyes have fallen on tough times since then, dropping six of their last eight games before entering the NCAA Tournament as a 7-seed.

They may be able to escape a first-round defeat from Temple, but a second round matchup with Villanova will be too much for the Hawkeyes to handle.
