Buffs Set For Final Non-Conference Tuneup Vs. Iowa

CU's George King is second on the team in scoring and leads the Buffs in rebounding.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — In terms of a final tuneup before conference play, Friday night's game against Iowa (7 p.m., Big Ten Network) might be just what Tad Boyle's Colorado Buffaloes need.

Technically, the game at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, S.D., is a neutral-site affair.

But, as Boyle noted, that designation is in name only. Sioux Falls is just across the Iowa border, and less than six hours from Iowa City. The 3,250-seat Pentagon is expected to be sold out, with the vast majority of fan cheering for the 7-6 Hawkeyes, giving the game all the atmosphere of a true road contest.
