How are the Hawks gonna react against Minney?

But, it is also an away game, and Minny is a fringe NCAA bubble team. They are not Northwestern when Northwestern is not playing above themselves.

I'm sure we will have our hands full again. Hopefully we will continue the streak of not losing 2 in a row, but that could come to end here. Iowa needs to bring their A game.

We blew out Northwestern so that makes no sense to bring them up. Iowa won close games against Nebraska and Xavier. Fringe bubble teams.
 
I think Iowa takes care of business tomorrow night.

If Iowa is frail, then Minnesota is on its death bed. They have been anything but on a roll lately.
 
That is a tough place to play with that elevated floor and all. I honestly don't know and don't think it matters much win or lose. B1G championship is gone now. Saving my butterflies for NCAA's.:cool:
 
If Iowa goes up and lays an Egg to Minny it going to get real ugly real fast, as I don't see them winning at Indiana either
 
I'll be at the game tomorrow, although the Barn is probably the worst place in the big ten to watch a game. The place is a bigger dump than Wrigley Field, and that's saying something. Plus for some reason the student section always chants "we hate Iowa" even when they're not playing the Hawkeyes. Bunch of idiots.

The Gophers are really struggling right now, averaging under 50 points in their last 3 games. That being said they seem to live and die by the 3 pointer just like Wisconsin, and we all know how that turned out on Saturday :(

I bring up Northwestern, because you alluded to Minnesota being a weak team, sister of the poor in the conference. Minnesota is not a bottom feeding team like Northwestern, Penn St, Illinois, etc. That is my point and we will likely be in for a challenge as they are fighting to get into the tournament and they know we are mental fragile right now.

We also played Nebraska at home when they were not on their streak and Xavier early in the year. Don't kid yourself, at Minny is a bigger challenge right now compared to when we played those teams at that time.
 
This game has scared me all year. A little less so now that Minn. isn't playing so well. After the deal with Zach Im glad they are on the road for a couple games.
 
Some were/are scared of Indiana.
Some are scared of Purdue.
Some are scared of Minnesota.
Some were scared of Penn State.

It'd be nice if the fan base was as mentally tough (when weaker teams play the Hawks) as they want the Hawks to be mentally tough against the top tier teams.
