The Iowa Hawkeyes have put together a very solid 2021-2022 season thus far. Solid, but not great. Iowa doesn’t really have any bad losses this year. Of their eight total losses, five are considered quadrant one losses according to the NCAA’s NET rankings. The other three fall into quadrant two. Two of those losses were frustrating ones on the road at Rutgers and Penn State that felt like they could have changed the narrative on the year if they had gone the other way.
But the Hawkeyes went out on Saturday and tried to change the narrative anyway by doing something they hadn’t done all year: winning a quad one game.
