I have to say, when I first saw the 2019-20 Iowa basketball schedule, this game was the first on my list in terms of intrigue. After knocking out the Cincinnati Bearcats (7-4) in last year’s tournament, I figured Iowa would get their best shot at redemption in this December showdown. Both the Iowa Hawkeyes (8-3) and Bearcats have seen their share of turnover (three starters for Iowa, a couple starters and a coach for Cincy) since then but key cogs exist to make this an exciting neutral site game on Saturday.
