I believe that this week is actually going to be a tougher, more challenging week to prepare for than beating Penn St. I realize Iowa does not have the talent level of Penn St., and their best win of the year is against Purdue but they always seem to rise to the occasion against highly ranked teams when they are at home.
On top of that, the world just changed for everyone of those 19-24 year olds. They went from being doubted and flying under the radar a bit, to being everyone on campus’ best friend and being expected to win. They will be getting a lot of attention and praise they haven’t before and I could understand if they were a bit distracted this week after the emotional high on Saturday.
But that is where Fleck and his staff will show they are Elite. They will bring these kids down to earth and focus them on the task at hand. We have only won in Iowa City twice in the last forever, but this week we will see them flip yet another script and re-write the narrative going forward!
