Iowa ready for conference co-leader

The Iowa Hawkeyes return to Big Ten action at home tomorrow against co-leader Ohio State. Iowa coach Steve Alford says the first game with Ohio State was a highlight of their Big Ten problems, giving up huge runs to the opponent.Alford says the most frustrating aspect is how well the Hawkeyes practice and says Thursday’s workout was the best in six weeks.After the Penn State game Alford mentioned how some players, including Reggie Evans were having trouble getting to class. He does not know yet whether any of the players will miss tomorrow’s game.
