IOWA CITY \u2212 Not even halfway into January and just 30% of the way into the Big Ten Conference season, the identity of this Iowa basketball team is becoming clear.<\/p>\n
These are the comeback kids. No deficit ever seems too large. Yeah, they’ve had ups and downs. And they will get way<\/em> behind at times. But this collection of players, win or lose, will play hard for all 40 minutes. And sometimes 45.<\/p>\n The Hawkeyes clawed back with a miraculous finish in regulation on Thursday night, then dominated the five-minute overtime to outlast visiting Michigan, 93-84, before 11,498 fans at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.<\/p>\n \u201cIt just shows the fight we have in our team,\u201d said Kris Murray, who played every second of this fast-paced, high-octane contest but still didn’t look tired in scoring 27 points. \u201cWisconsin, Indiana, even Penn State \u2026 showed the kind of toughness we have. We’re never going to go without a fight.\u201d<\/p>\n The three home Big Ten games, in, the Hawkeyes have probably made those who left the arena early to beat traffic a particular regret that decision.<\/p>\n
