FADE TO BLACK...& GOLD
Iowa 84 - Oregon 66
#Hawkeyes dominate a mediocre Ducks team on the #B1G Road where nothing is ever easy (especially on the West Coast). UI did most things well tonight - and especially dominant in the paint. 4th win in a row: Hawks improve to 16-5, 6-4. Washington is next.

UCLA 88 - Iowa 65
Back-to-back West Coast Beatdowns put a dent in the feel-good #Hawkeyes season - not even close to competetive in either contest & now face must-win games at CHA if they want to remain in #B1G contention vs. Minnesota & Washington. Long list of issues vs. UCLA & USC.

The #Hawkeyes finished better than they played most of the game - and also finished the 1st Half on a 15-4 run. But those were about the only two "bright spots". Things just looked discombobulated for most of the game.
Going to take a terrific effort to beat UCLA on Sunday. UI drops to 18-3, 9-1.

A couple times one of them said stuff that didn’t even happen. Once she said “another empty possession for Iowa” and I was like “wait wasn’t that a gorgeous pass from Chat to Journey for a bucket?” 😂

If we never hear from these two clowns again, it will be too soon. One thing to be obviously biased. Another to not even know what's happening on the floor (several times). My goodness you have to be so much better than that. My suggestion if they ever show up again (Sunday?) turn on #Hawkeys Radio.
Who the hell are these Peacock announcers?! For God's sake. Are they on the USC Staff or just plain awful? Really hard to listen to. #Hawkeyes

USC 81 - Iowa 69
The final score doesn't indicate how badly the #Hawkeyes were trounced tonight - the undefeated in #B1G play is gone. Started badly and stayed that way pretty much the entire game. Plus USC probably played its best game of the season. Gets harder Sunday at UCLA.

Hey @thegazette.com maybe this is an opportunity to regain at least some of your credibility.
Maybe he can start by rehiring some the Gazette's best long-time reporters. Proof's in the pudding.

What looked like a very serious injury yesterday to Taylor McCabe on the game's first play has been confirmed as such and she will miss the rest of the season. A blow to #Hawkeyes WBB and a void that will have to be filled by some of Iowa's youngest players.

Just another way the #Dodgers screw over the rest of #MLB.
BTW. Billionaires filing for bankruptcy who then remain billionaires afterwards is quite the deal, huh! I'm sure it works that way for the rest of us schmucks, too - right?

I believe it's a deliberate effort to spread things around. Athletics Communications submits candidates for Big Ten Weekly Honors along with a rationale/stats to back it up. Hannah could have also easily been nominated.

3 straight #B1G wins vs top-20 teams. 4 #Hawkeyes finished in double figures. Addie Deal was big after Taylor McCabe's 1st-play injury. Wright's a blast to watch & has a chit-load of spunk. Team's growing and even hotter at this point in the season. Next up: at USC on Thursday, then at UCLA Sunday.

FINAL: FADE TO BLACK...& GOLD
Iowa 91 - Ohio State 70
Terrific game for the #Hawkeyes - after a slow start they take the lead and never surrender it, using several big runs over the course of the contest. RBs + PtsPaint + Bench Pts overwhelming for UI. Iowa remains undefeated in #B1G (9-0).

Minor corrections here - the #Hawkeyes are 8-0 in the conference, shooting for 9-0 vs. OSU. (Got ahead of myself.) And TV is Peacock (not BTN).

This makes me sad. While I had little use or respect for his on-air partner, Boers brought insight and a history of thoughtful (and often humorous) sports coverage to Chicago and the Midwest for years.

Iowa 85 - Maryland 78 (OT)
The #10/10 #Hawkeyes were clutch in OT, went on an 8-0 run while #15/13 UMD went 0-5 - and hit FTs at the end to seal the deal. 5 Hawks finished in double figures.
Iowa remains undefeated in #B1G Play and this was a road win against a top-25 team.
