4. Iowa (20-6, 11-3)

At last, the Iowa Hawkeyes.  Iowa looked dominant through the first 7 games of Big Ten play, but the Hawkeyes have taken a step back since then.  In its last three games, Iowa has lost at Indiana, won a close call with Minnesota, and then lost on the road at the Bryce Jordan Center, putting the Big Ten regular season title in doubt.

Iowa must get production from players not named Jarrod Uthoff and/or Peter Jok, like it was early in Big Ten conference play, if they want to make a deep tournament run.  The Hawks get a much needed week off before they battle the Badgers Wednesday night at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
