As we expected, mid to late December would be somewhat of a cakewalk for the Iowa basketball team. After having a few tough games in the 2K Empire Classic and then beginning Big Ten play versus the ranked Wisconsin and Michigan State basketball teams, the Hawks have been able to coast the last few weeks. First, they dominated a strong but injured Iowa State team before cruising to easy wins over the University of Northern Iowa and Western Carolina this past week.
Tomorrow afternoon, they have another easy game as they take on the hapless Savannah State Tigers who are currently in the midst of a six-game losing streak after falling to the 4-8 Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles last night 91-80.
