Just three nights after a loss likely kicked them out of the race for the four seed in the Big Ten Tournament, the #21/19 Iowa Hawkeyes (20-6, 9-6) look to bounce back against the Indiana Hoosiers (13-13, 4-11). In their first tussle, the Hawks beat IU, 77-72 at Assembly Hall.
Since that game, the Hoosiers have lost three straight: two tight home losses to Ohio State and Purdue sandwiching a blowout at The Barn against Minnesota. Their win over Michigan State was only the second since the calendar flipped to 2019, the first of which was a home win against Illinois on January 3rd.
