The season came to an end for the Iowa Hawkeyes after a 73-45 rout at the hands of Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament. The Hawks fell behind 22-9 at the outset and it was never close after that. The Hawks finish with a record of 15-17 in Todd Lickliter’s second season at the helm.

Lickliter says he told his team that they had fought hard all year and that was a big step. He says if you’re not winning then you sure better be getting ready to win. Lickliter says despite the losing record he feels the program made progress.

"Are we where we need to be? No, we need to improve on that," Lickliter says. He says they have the offseason to work on it and a recruit or two coming in to help. Cyrus Tate led the Hawks with 12 points in his final game in an Iowa uniform.
