Iowa fans saw a rollercoaster at Carver-Hawkeye Arena as the Hawkeyes clawed back from an 18-point deficit against Illinois, only to fall 75-69. Tavion Banks, despite being sick and losing 10 pounds, came off the bench to lead with 16 points and a burst of energy. The team’s resilience was on full display, nearly pulling off a comeback, but missed chances in the final minutes proved costly. It’s tough to watch those close moments slip away, but the heart this team showed could spark something big soon. What do you think Iowa needs to get over the hump? #Sports #IowaHawkeyes #CollegeBasketball
