The Iowa men’s basketball program has played more than half of its regular season schedule for the 2021-22 season, but somehow it still feels too early to tell what the future has in store for this team. On one hand, the Hawkeyes are 13-4 and boast one of the top offenses in college basketball, buoyed by the sensational two-way play of the nation’s leading scorer Keegan Murray. On the other hand, Iowa is only 3-3 in Big Ten play and currently sits at 7th in the conference standings, raising serious questions about whether Iowa can actually compete against other strong teams from major conferences.
