It’s been a rough couple of weeks for Hawkeye fans. Iowa has dropped two in a row and quickly fallen from the clear leader in the Big Ten West to a middle of the pack team.
Now they face off with the Northwestern Wildcats, who have had struggles of their own this season and find themselves near the bottom of the West. NU is also riding a two-game losing streak in the Big Ten after falling to Michigan and Minnesota the last two weeks.
While Iowa has struggled offensively in the two losses, the Wildcats have struggled to stop much in their last two games.
