Back to back road games @PSU and @Nebraska. Of course you want to go 2-0, but 1-1 is a must or else tournament hopes are probably gone.
Tournament hopes are by no means gone should Iowa go 0-2, which is very possible.Back to back road games @PSU and @Nebraska. Of course you want to go 2-0, but 1-1 is a must or else tournament hopes are probably gone.

Don’t weeks usually start on Monday and end on Sunday?
Definitely two big games coming up, really only focused on the Penn State one right now as I hope the players are. We should beat Nebraska but road games are always tough.
You really can’t compare this years Nebraska team to last years. They made a mini run at the BTT after beating us last year and had some legit players (Palmer, Roby, Watson).We should have beat them there last year too - they were down to starting a bunch of walk on's, their best 2 players were out, their coach was DOA, Luka went off and we blew a huge lead. In my head - when I am thinking about wins, I basically just go and count every road game an L. Obviously, that's not how it works out, but that's truly how surprised I am when we win them.
We wanted a tougher schedule and we got one. Has any team in the COUNTRY played fewer home games since Thanksgiving than the Hawkeyes?Back to back road games @PSU and @Nebraska. Of course you want to go 2-0, but 1-1 is a must or else tournament hopes are probably gone.
I don't think so. As long as we hold serve at home we'll be fine.They wont be gone, but it will kill the margin of error.

Agreed. Every road game will be a fight. I’ve been less and less impressed with Purdue recently. They lucked out to beat Minny at home last night. Just not really impressed with their guard play.Oh I don't, but the point is, we can still lose to them on the road. They're 1-1 in the conference just like we are at this point, which means they beat someone there (Purdue) ... I'll be keeping a close eye on Rutgers visiting there tonight.

Nebraska is playing better ball now but if we want to be considered a tournament team that’s a game we should win.
We have held some good teams well below their punching weight from beyond the arc. That may be they key to knocking off the Nittanies tomorrow.The Penn State game really concerns me. Out of all the decent teams we've beaten, none of them were very good from beyond the arc - Penn State is. If they continue to shoot like they have so far this year I feel we're in trouble. Hope I'm wrong!
Penn State takes a lot of 3s but they are only shooting 32% from behind the arc this year, which is not good. If we catch them on a hot night we are in trouble, as is about any team who catches them on a hot night.The Penn State game really concerns me.

After this road trip it's Maryland Friday night, just got my tickets for that game. It's not getting any easier.I don't think so. As long as we hold serve at home we'll be fine.
We are currently 10-3 with 9 home games and 9 road games left. I believe 19-12 will get us in considering that the B1G should have 7-10 teams.
The problem is, no JBo. Without him...
Hmmm, maybe you are right afterall.
