Here come the Hawks

No guarantees this time, just facts. During Wednesday’s press conference, I asked forward Rahshon Clark what a win against Iowa would do to the team confidence.
“It’ll boost our confidence up a little bit,” said Clark who guaranteed a win earlier in the season against Minnesota.
At this point in time, you’d have to think a Hawkeye win would be huge for the team morale. The Cyclones are coming off instate losses to Northern Iowa and Drake. They’re trying to avoid their first three-game losing streak to non-conference teams at home since the 1975-76 season. They’ve been looking for win No. 400 at Hilton Coliseum for over two weeks now and who better to have it against then the Hawkeyes. Look at what a win against Iowa did for the football team. Had it not been for a blocked field goal and a special team’s meltdown in the fourth quarter, they leave Toledo with a win. No matter how you look at it, a win against Iowa would be big. Now, that’s a guarantee.
