Do Or Die: Iowa Basketball Takes On 2nd-Seeded Tennessee

Iowa sure picked the right time to get its swagger back! After muddling through a month of mediocre play, the Hawkeyes rediscovered their form in an opening round victory against the 7th seeded Cincinnati Bearcats. Down 13 points midway through the first half and experiencing an abysmally poor shooting performance from Tyler Cook, Iowa relied on exceptional three-point shooting, an effective press, and arguably the best game of Luka Garza’s Hawkeye career to mount a comeback and keep its season alive.

Iowa’s next challenge comes against #2 seeded Tennessee, the team that eliminated Iowa from the NCAA tournament in 2014.
