To the victor go the spoils. And to Iowa and second-leading scorer Tavion Banks, the right to break down what he saw out of defending national champion Florida.
On Sunday night, sitting at a post-game press conference with NCAA logos checkered around the backdrop, Banks held court. How did he know Iowa would have a chance to knock off Florida? Simple, really.
“The physicality. We’re in two different conferences. We’re in the Big Ten. They’re in the SEC,” Banks said. “I just know we’re more physical. After just watching the film and see what they’re doing, I just knew we had an opportunity to win the game.”
