despite suffering its first conference loss last week, the iowa hawkeyes waves. jarrod uthoff is featured on a regional cover of this week's sports illustrated, marking the first time since 1966 that a hawkeye hoopster has that honor. while it's a huge accomplishment, uthoff can expect some good natured ribbing from his teammates this week. adam woodbury--"no, i'm sure i will though. i'm sure i'll try to print one off and make fun of him a little bit about it." mike gesell--"i got a little bit of stardom along with jarrod. you know i think maybe it's all the passes i gave him, they decided to put me on there." fran mccaffery--"i think it's great. i'm really happy for jarrod in particular. but for all the guys to be recognized at that level." jarrod uthoff--"to me, it's about us as a the hawkeyes and what we've accomplished as a team. there's nothing about individual, whatat've done as an individual. you know think we've come a long way through this program this year. people predicted us bottom of the big ten and we're proving that we can n play with anybody." iowa

but the gophers went cold - the hawkeyes did not - jok on the three, then uthoff scores inside. it wasn't pretty - but iowa does win it at home, 75-to-71. this is why tonight's win was important - it puts iowa back atop the conference standings - all by themselvlv. maryland and indiaia both losos this weekend. both the terps and hoosiers would own tiebreakers over iowa by virtue of head-to-head victories - so a big win tonight. iowa is at penn state on wednesday. iowa state picked up an 85-to-7575 n over texas monte morris tied a career high with 24 points - 19 of them coming in the second half. georges niang added 24 points - but one of the big stories was jameel mckay. mckay returned from a two game suspension and notched 8 points, 7 rebound and 4 blocks off the bench. it came at a good time - because iowa state had lost three of four before saturday's win.

but as alex giaimo reports, the hawkeyes expect a high-scoring battle. alex giaimo--"thursday's matchup between iowa and indiana features two of the big ten's top uthoff and indiana's yogi ferrell, which means this game will most likely be extremely fast tempoed and high scoring. the two teams are the highest-scoring in the conference and will need to keep pace with each other." anthony clemmons--"it should be a track meet. to be honest you know, throughout the previous years when we played them it's been track meets. i think we're able to play fast and we're able to play slow." peter jok--"they're athletic. they're a running team too just like we are. and we're going to scout them and we're gonna see what we have to do to win." alex giaimo--"the hawkeyes say the key is letting their defense dictate mike gesell--"when we're not making shots we've got to and you know i think that's what we're definitely gonna be a track meet. both teams want to get that's fun. that's how we want to play, that's how they want to play." fran mccaffery--"we mean, if you score
