Iowa Basketball: Despite Loss, Hawkeyes Stay in AP Top 5

The Iowa Men’s Basketball team went 1-1 this past week, but that one loss was to came to a top 10 Maryland team. The Hawkeyes were able to remain inside the AP’s top 5.

If it weren’t for an absolute blowout of the Northwestern Wildcats on Sunday afternoon, the Iowa Hawkeyes might have dropped even further in the AP rankings. However, after a tough loss to Maryland and that drubbing of the Wildcats, the Hawkeyes remained inside the top five coming in at number five, one spot behind the Terrapins.

Iowa played, hands down, their worst game of the season last Thursday in College Park.
