I get it. When a team loses possibly five of their top eight players from an NCAA Tournament team, fans rightfully panic so it’s understandable that Iowa basketball fans are beginning to question not if the Hawks will go far in the NCAA Tournament next year but will they even make the tournament.
Losing your star forward to the NBA Draft is rough, but it was expected.

Losing a three-year starting point guard to a possible season-ending hip surgery on top of all of that can be downright scary, and that’s a fair assessment.
