The great thing about a rivalry is that anything can happen. Iowa basketball is 4-5 and simply haven’t looked like a good team this season, but it is still possible that they upset 25th ranked Iowa State.
Last season, Iowa blew a 20-point lead and a 15-point halftime lead to the Cyclones to give Iowa State their third straight win in the Cy-Hawk men’s basketball series. Even with a team full of seniors, Iowa couldn’t fight off the comeback on the road in Ames, Iowa.
The same type of wackiness could be in store this year, despite the Hawkeyes having a roster filled with young players.
