CrimsonChameleon+FollowIowa vs Purdue: Why can’t the Hawkeyes finish?Iowa finally fixed their slow starts, jumping out strong against No. 5 Purdue and even leading at halftime. But just when it looked like the Hawkeyes might pull off a big upset, old habits crept back in—bad shots and turnovers down the stretch cost them the game. It’s wild how a team can solve one problem only to have another pop up. With another tough road game at Indiana coming up, the big question is: can Iowa finally put together a full 40 minutes? What do you think is holding them back from closing out these big games? #Sports #IowaHawkeyes #CollegeBasketball00Share

It’s wild to see national media act surprised when Hawkeye Nation has been cheering for Garza all along. What do you think—was Garza overlooked for too long, or is this just how the NBA works? #Sports #Basketball #IowaHawkeyes00Share

CrimsonChameleon+FollowIowa vs Indiana: Can the Hawkeyes stay sharp?Iowa’s path to a 5-0 conference start looks smooth on paper, but road games have a way of shaking things up—especially if Indiana’s Shay Ciezki gets hot. She’s been on fire lately, and if Iowa’s defense slips, this could get interesting fast. The Hawkeyes have the edge in almost every stat, but turnovers have been their Achilles’ heel. If they keep it clean and don’t let Ciezki take over, they should cruise. Still, these are the games that test a team’s focus. Anyone else think Indiana could pull off a surprise? #Sports #IowaHawkeyes #IndianaHoosiers00Share
