The Hawkeyes didn't need some absurd, out-of-body showing to upset USC. Why that gives Iowa the best chance to carry this momentum forward.

The action usually falls Iowa's way when in Minneapolis, with the Hawkeyes now having won their last 12 games in the city and their last 11 over Minnesota. A large chunk of that came via back-to-back Big Ten Tournament sweeps at Target Center, along with dominance at Williams Arena. But this night was always going to be much more difficult.
