Iowa fighting for postseason chance - College Basketball News | FOX Sports on MSN
Small part from article:
Gatens has broken his career high for points in back-to-back games, putting up 30 in Sunday's 78-66 win over Indiana and 33 against the Badgers.
''It's coming to an end. It's sad, but I want to keep playing. I want to make the postseason. I want to get this team growing. We're still growing, we're still pushing,'' Gatens said. ''Hopefully we can continue to use this momentum into the next game, but it feels great to be kind of going out on a high note. But it's far from over.''
Of course, any talk of a postseason trip for the Hawkeyes will subside if they stumble in the next two weeks. But Iowa has climbed above each of its next three opponents in the Big Ten standings, Illinois, Nebraska and Northwestern, and it certainly looks like a team capable of pulling off that sweep.
''What you're seeing is a young team get better and learn from their mistakes,'' McCaffery said. ''Hopefully now we can go on the road and play with the kind of confidence we're playing with right now.''
