Iowa's seesaw basketball season finds Hawkeyes back inside coaches' poll top 25

One can say this much about the current Iowa basketball season: The Hawkeyes are nothing if not entertaining.

You can't really predict what you're going to get from Fran McCaffery's 11-5 bunch. Last week was a near-perfect example, with Iowa falling to lowly Nebrsaka (7-9) last Tuesday but turning around and whipping then-No. 14 Maryland at home three days later.

A depleted roster of eight scholarship players after C.J. Fredrick's foot injury leaves numerous question marks going forward. But for now, the Hawkeyes have seesawed back into the most recent USA TODAY Coaches' Poll top 25, released Monday.
