Iowa Basketball: Hawkeyes Fall From National Polls

Iowa’s 89-86 loss to Penn State at the Palestra on Saturday was a tough one. The Hawkeyes fought hard, but a mix of turnovers, missed free throws and utter exhaustion following a slew of injuries left them short of another neutral site win to add to their resume.

The loss stings as it was a missed opportunity to steal a “road” win in the Big Ten, and against a top-25 opponent no less. It leaves Iowa 1-2 in the conference. It also knocked the Hawkeyes out of the top-25, which they had begun to start climbing.
