Hawks overcome slow start to notch Fran McCaffery’s 272nd win at Iowa

If you clicked on the game last night and saw the Iowa Hawkeyes (11-6, 3-3) start against the Minnesota Golden Gophers (12-5, 3-3), I’m not sure if anyone would have blamed you for turning it off immediately.

They got down 14-3 inside of 4 minutes even after Fran McCaffery called a very early timeout. Iowa’s backcourt (Josh Dix got the start for Patrick McCaffery) looked all sorts of discombobulated with a the Gophers press (Elijah Hawkins had 3 quick steals) which led to runouts and multiple slips Dix. The Barn was kinda rockin!
