They received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament as the No. 1 seed in the Midwest region. It marked the second consecutive year as a No. 1 seed.[3] They defeated Grambling State and Utah State to break the school record of most wins in a season.[4] They defeated Gonzaga in the Sweet Sixteen and defeated Tennessee in the Elite Eight to return to the Final Four for the first time since 1980. In the Final Four, they defeated NC State to advance to the National Championship game, their first since 1969, where they lost to No. 1 overall seed UConn.
