When the #20/20 Iowa Hawkeyes (18-5, 7-5) traveled to Evanston for their first of two games against the Northwestern Wildcats (12-10, 3-8), there were plenty of questions surrounding the team. How much can Luka Garza and Tyler Cook play? Was the win against Nebraska a sign of desperation or something more? Can the Hawkeye defense travel outside of Carver-Hawkeye Arena?
Pretty much all of those questions have been answered in the month since Iowa’s win at Welsh-Ryan. Garza and Cook have asserted themselves as impressive inside forces after getting healthy.
