The Iowa Hawkeyes (LY 19-14) basketball season kicks off tonight against Summit League foe, North Dakota (LY 13-20). This will be the Fighting Hawks’ 15th season as a D-1 outfit and have posted winning records just four times in that span. Their most recent season above .500 came in 2017 when they won the Big Sky double (they have since moved conferences) and made their first & only NCAA appearance.
The 2023-24 season looks very much like a rebuilding year as the Hawkeyes are a consensus bubble team looking in according to Bracket Matrix.
