If you don’t think the last few weeks have taken a toll on the Iowa basketball team, just rewatch last nights game. The exciting last-second wins and losses were fun to watch and probably took a year or two off of my life, but those types of games can be emotionally exhausting. Factor in the outside controversy brought to life by Athletic Director Gary Barta’s mishandling of the Gary Dolphin situation (for what it’s worth, Dolphin will serve out his suspension this year and return next), and that’s quite a load to handle for an Iowa basketball team that is competing for a high seed in the NCAA Tournament.
