Hawkeye Report Podcast 832

Plenty of ground to cover this week on the podcast. Tom Kakert and Kyle Huesmann are talking Iowa basketball, football and more. 

We open the show talking Iowa men's basketball following the Hawkeyes overtime loss to Virginia Tech in Sioux City. What did we see at this game? What are the areas of concern that emerged? What are some of the bright spots we saw from the Iowa team and is Sunday's game against Creighton potentially more of a must win now?

Then we move over to Iowa women's basketball following their first loss to the season at the hands of UCONN. We talk about what happened in that game and if any concerns for the future emerged. Then we look ahead to a pair of important games this week against Northern Iowa and their trip to Sioux City to face a very good Vanderbilt squad. 

After that we move on to preview the Saturday night game at Kinnick Stadium against the Purdue Boilermakers. It's been a tough season for the Boilers, who just fired their defensive coordinator after giving up 34 points in a loss to Maryland. What have see see from Purdue and are they are quit watch this Saturday? Does Iowa need a style points victory to impress the College Football Playoff Committee? We also discuss the Hawkeyes ranking this week and if there are hopes to make the CFP.

Then we talk a little Field Hockey with the Hawkeyes opening NCAA Tournament play on Friday against Duke and then we wrap up by picking some of the top college football games this weekend.
