The men’s Iowa basketball team is sitting at 5-0 after winning the 2K Empire Classic tournament and beating Alabama State the night before Thanksgiving. Although the Hawks struggled initially in their first two games against UMKC and the University of Green Bay, all the truly matters is their record, and right now the Hawkeyes couldn’t have asked for a better start to the season.
This surprising 5-0 start has led to Iowa’s inclusion in the AP top-25 poll. Now, the Hawkeyes are ranked #14 in the nation.
Tomorrow evening, the Iowa basketball team looks to continue this hot start as they take on the University of Pittsburgh Panthers who are currently sitting at 6-0.
