PSA: Iowa/North Carolina on BTN Right Now

We watched two different Hawkeye teams this year. One that tried to outscore everyone and defense was an after thought. Then we saw the February and after Hawkeyes. It’s unusual to see such a change so far into a season.
 
Would have been interesting to have seen the defensive minded Hawkeyes for a full season...

@ Minnesota
Indiana
@ Illinois
Ohio State
@ Indiana

Five losses that could have ended differently...
 
But those losses taught the team something they needed to learn. Without those losses, Iowa wouldn’t be as prepared for the tournament as it is.

Now, they need to apply the defensive pressure from the opening tip and still be an offensive powerhouse.

I don't remember any team ever changing so much, and so quickly.

Let's hope it isn't a charade when the have the inevitable tough stretch they'll encounter soon, in general, not necessarily Saturday.
 
Iowa always wins replays of games against non-conference teams on BTN.
Maybe we should play all of our games like that...
