The Hawkeyes gave up another torrid shooting night in Bloomington last night for their second loss in the state of Indiana in as many weeks. Worse yet, Iowa may have lost their best shooter for some time as CJ Fredrick suffered a high ankle sprain.

But this is a critical stretch to navigate and there are land mines all over the place. If the Hawkeyes can avoid a collapse, should Fran McCaffery be in the discussion for the Big Ten Coach of the Year?
