In a year devoid of offensive production on the gridiron, Hawkeye fans were looking to Iowa basketball as their reprieve. Fran McCaffery’s bunch, historically, is exciting. They get up and down and they put points on the board. Lots of them. Since taking over the helm in Iowa City back in 2010, the Hawkeyes have averaged 83.6 points per game - most in the Big Ten. Just twice in that span has Iowa averaged under 70 points per game.
And yet here we are in the first week of January and this bunch of Hawkeyes is STRUGGLING to put the biscuit in the basket.
