HEAR FROM HEAD COACH DAVE DIIANNI
“We took a bit of a reality check; we’ve lost one game. We were disappointed with how we lost to Wisconsin. I told the team a couple times that we had every excuse to not do well at Rutgers. We’re flying out there commercial, it takes us forever to get out there, and Rutgers is good at home. I thought our mentality out there was special. To turn around and do the same thing again today is special.”
“This team is accomplishing things that teams at Iowa have never done before. I think tonight was another good example of that. We’re mature and they have been very focused on the task at hand.”
