On a Friday bonus edition of the Hawk Central podcast, the Register's Chad Leistikow hosts an hour-plus conversation on the state of Iowa basketball. First, the more positive side of things with the Hawkeyes men, who are on a five-game winning streak with a good chance to make it seven in a row soon. Chad is joined by Tyler Tachman to boil down Ben McCollum's developing squad and sprinkle in some football talk, too. Dargan Southard joins Chad in the back half of the show as the Iowa women have dropped three in a row on the heels of an eight-game Big Ten winning streak. What buttons does Jan Jensen need to push next?
