The #25 Iowa Hawkeyes (3-0) face off against the Nebraska Omaha Mavericks (1-3) in their “campus game” for the Emerald Coast Classic which begins Friday. The last time these two met, Iowa was upset 98-89 in a game which probably kept them out of the 2017 NCAA Tournament. I’m not bitter you’re bitter.
The Mavs only win this year came at home against the one of two D-1 teams on their schedule which KenPom has tabbed as worse than them: 355 Idaho. So yeah...not a good team Iowa’s facing and certainly a much different group than the 3rd place Summit League team they faced back in November 2016.
