After a 2-0 start to the 2016-17 season, Iowa basketball had their first hiccup with a 91-83 loss to Seton Hall. It was Iowa’s first formidable opponent, and they couldn’t cut into a small deficit in the second half to mount a comeback.
Despite the Hawkeyes losing their first game of the season, which is just the second time they have failed to start 3-0 under Fran McCaffery, it did gives us a better idea of who Iowa is this year, or at least for now. Of course, after losing four starters from a 22 win team that won a game in the NCAA Tournament, a lot of questions had to be answered.
