The Iowa Hawkeyes (2-0) return to the scene of their last games of the 2017-18 season tonight as they face the #13 Oregon Ducks (2-0).
Dana Altman’s squad dispatched of their pre-tournament foes pretty handily - Portland State, 84-57 and Eastern Washington, 81-47 - in games which were never closer than 11 points in the second half. For as much as can be gathered after two games against outmatched competition, the Ducks’ defense has carried the way. Opponents have shot an effective FG% of 32.6%, which ranks third best in the country according to KenPom.
