After suffering a hard fought road loss at Maryland, the Iowa Hawkeyes bounced back for a big time home win over then #19 Illinois on Sunday, marking their fifth win over a top-25 team this season. That ties for tops in the nation. Iowa also is near the top of the nation with seven quadrant one wins on the season.
