Iowa Pre-game: B5Q grills Black Heart Gold Pants

Given the shocking loss that Iowa handed Wisconsin back on New Year's Eve (in the ghost town known as "Rose Bowl weekend" Kohl Center), it's high time we got concerned about this dandy of a rematch in Iowa City.

A win by Wisconsin (20-7, 9-5 Big Ten) accomplishes a few things. It would avenge perhaps the most embarrassing loss of the year for UW, clinch another winning conference record, and prove once again that our state is better than theirs by breaking an amazing stalemate in this border rivalry (77-77 all-time in hoops, plus 42-42-2 in football). Iowa cannot be overlooked. Beating the Badgers would put Iowa (14-13, 6-8) in great shape for the postseason, and even the NIT would be something to get excited about after all that program has been through lately.
