It feels as though we’ve been through this before. Perhaps several times. Iowa <insert sports team here> is off to a really good start, but the fanbase is more focused on how they are going to collapse than enjoying the ride. In fact, it feels like we go through this at least once a year with one of the programs.
Yet, here we are again. Your Iowa men’s basketball team is waking this morning 16-3. They ran the table in what many thought was going to be a very difficult non-conference schedule (look, I get it, there were a bunch of sub-300 teams in there, but you measure the strength of a non-con by the top rather than the bottom) and nearly half way through the Big Ten schedule, they’re now sitting a half game out of the top 4 in what is arguably the best conference in America.
