The Iowa basketball team is currently sitting at 17-5 overall and 6-5 in Big Ten play. After knocking down #7 Michigan Friday, where can they go from here? Will they be able to ride the euphoria of that victory for the rest of the season and finish the Big Ten regular season play strong or will they limp to the end like we have seen a few Fran McCaffery-led teams do in the past?
According to KenPom, the Hawks are projected to finish 22-9, going 5-4 over their next nine contests. All four projected losses are on the road against Indiana, Ohio State, Nebraska, and Wisconsin whereas the five wins are projected to come against Northwestern, Rutgers (twice), #24 Maryland, and Indiana (at Carver).
