Tonight’s game is a huge deal for the Iowa basketball program.
Is this team legitimately back or did they just take advantage of a weak and inexperienced Illinois team?
Moreover, was Iowa’s early-February win over Michigan a fluke or a sign?
Is this Michigan team actually good or are there serious flaws in the foundation?
And finally, can the Iowa basketball team advanced to the semifinals for the first time since the 2006 Big Ten Championship team?
Needless to say, there is a ton riding on this game, and fortunately, I do feel confident that I can safely answer one of the questions above.
