Iowa Hawkeyes Basketball: Is It Time?
As the horn sounded on Iowa’s 72-67 home loss to an abysmal Minnesota Gopher basketball team, I was no longer in front of my TV. Instead I was in bed upgrading my Clash of Clans account and reading a pretty solid book about Prohibition in Minnesota. Apparently the Hawks made a valiant comeback against the Gophers - I turned the game off when we fell behind by 14. My brother texted our group asking if anyone was watching. He was the only one. I was too lazy to even turn the game back on on my iPad. I figured if we won, we should have, and if we didn’t, I didn’t care to watch it anyway. This got me thinking.
I grew up watching Lute Olson’s first few years at Iowa.
