Big game tonight and a tremendous opportunity for Rutgers to move past Iowa in the conference standings. It’s a chance for another quad 1 win and it would help firm up this team’s NCAA Tournament resume. Iowa has won three of the last four meetings by two possessions or less. Let’s hope Rutgers brought the defense on the road or the Hawkeyes could have a big night on the offensive end. Also, Rutgers is wearing the 1983 throwback uniforms tonight so that’s a good omen. Join us in the comment section during the game.
We have arrived in Iowa ahead of a matchup with the No. 15 Hawkeyes!
