This is arguably the best Iowa basketball (14-10, 6-5 B10) has looked this season. They’re on their first three-game conference winning streak of the season and have a chance to move to sixth place in the Big Ten with another good week.
The Hawkeyes and Minnesota Golden Gophers (16-7, 4-6 B10) on Wednesday will have a big impact on the conference standings as well as on the NCAA Tournament. Minnesota is currently a 10-seed, according to ESPN, so this would be a quality win for the Hawkeyes and get them closer to being on the bubble.
