A few weeks ago, Iowa came into Mackey Arena as a team on the rise, a cute story of scrappy players with one big upset already in their bag.
Now, they're a top ten team, undefeated in the Big Ten, and have swept the season series with both Purdue and Michigan State.
Once again, the Boilers led at half time. This time coming back from a slow start to take 35-33 lead into half. Biggie was playing well, including a monster block on Uthoff that led to a fast break layup for Hammons after a nifty around the back dribble by Swanigan.
