After a rough 0-3 start for the Iowa Hawkeyes, they have rattled off 3 wins in a row to pull even in conference play. Their two wins in week 10 came over Northwestern and Ohio State, two wins that put them right in the thick of the Big Ten race again.

The Hawkeyes have four players averaging double digits in points this season and are led by Junior Forward Tyler Cook who is currently averaging 17.1 points and 8.3 rebounds, both team highs.

Minnesota stays steady in these rankings after going 1-1 in week 10.  Their week was off to a rough start as they were blown out at home by an up and coming Maryland team but the  Golden Gophers rebounded with an 88-70 victory over Rutgers on Saturday.

Barring a big upset, the Gophers should trek through week 11 unscathed with match ups against Illinois and Penn State, as both are the only Big Ten teams without a win in conference.
