With Thursday’s Ohio State game postponed due to weather, your, my, and our Iowa Hawkeyes (14-7, 4-6) return to Carver-Hawkeye Arena Sunday afternoon to conclude the season series with the hated, no good Minnesota Golden Gophers (11-8, 2-8).
You may remember that Iowa previously defeated the Gophers in Williams Arena on January 16, holding off a furious comeback to win, 81-71. Iowa was in cruise control for most of that game, ballooning the lead out to 23 on multiple occasions against a short-handed Gopher team in the midst of a COVID outbreak (their next game, at Penn State, was postponed as a result and has yet to be played).
