A back-and-forth game ended in the most anti-climatic way possible as the Iowa Hawkeyes outlasted the Wisconsin Badgers 62-57 in the Big Ten Tournament in Indianapolis.
It certainly wasn’t pretty for either team for the full 40 minutes, and was clear from the onset that it had been barely a week since the last matchup between these two teams — things were as tight as can be, with both teams looking familiar with the other’s sets and neither team jumping out to an early advantage.
This was not two teams feeling each other out, it was two rival teams, both eminently familiar with the other and barely a week removed from a close matchup, back at it once again, with the loser going ‘home’ (to their hotel).
