In the #24/21 Iowa Hawkeyes (10-2, 0-2) final non-conference game, they play host to the Bryant Bulldogs (3-7) of Smithfield, Rhode Island.
Though Iowa has faced some bad teams already this season, Bryant strikes me as a different sort of bad. While they’ve been able to notch three wins - all at home - Iowa is the best team Bryant has played by a wide margin. Only Rhode Island has qualified as a “B” opponent according to KenPom. All of the Hawkeye’s other opponents rated 200 or worse have been on barnstorming tours of mid-to-high major teams.
