It’s been a rough start to the season for Iowa basketball, however they played their best game of the early season on Thursday night against rival Iowa State. Iowa’s young team finally showed the potential they possess and why many felt they could be a dark horse in the Big Ten this year.
It proved to be Iowa’s best game of the year in nearly every aspect. The Hawkeyes played smart, physical and with emotion. With the help of a home crowd that drowned out the Cyclones’ fans, Iowa gained the momentum early with big plays on both ends of the floor.
