We’re back for our third installment of Bubble Watch and this is the most optimistic I’ve been since I started looking at this two weeks ago after Iowa’s win at Michigan State.
It was getting real last Friday, but in a, “oh that’s cute, Iowa might have a shot to dance” kind of way. The team still had a lot of work to do with Northwestern looming. Now it’s legitimately real after Iowa’s impressive 87-80 win in Evanston gave the Hawks a third Quad 1 win on the season. Briefly on this game, from my couch in Denver - with this many injuries Northwestern’s not good and if Iowa had lost, I would have been really disappointed.
