FRANALYSIS: IOWA MAKES THE GAME OF BASKETBALL LOOK EASY AGAINST MARQUETTE

Last night was Iowa's first true road test of the season, and they passed it with flying colors. After starting the season off with warmups against Gardner-Webb and Coppin State, last night was supposed to be the first big challenge of the season for the Hawkeyes. This was a young, but extremely talented team in Marquette that was bolstered in the front court by two near 7-foot former blue-chippers, who were skilled in all areas of the game. This was Marquette, after all. A basketball program with a proud tradition. You are forgiven if you thought this would be a close game, or that Iowa could potentially lose this one.
