The Iowa Hawkeyes (1-0) take on an Alabama State (0-1) team who hung around Ole Miss earlier this week before losing 69-59. Iowa will look to keep it rolling after putting 6 guys in double figures and playing incredibly clean overall. 53% shooting, 50% from deep, and 7 turnovers is hard to repeat against any competition.
The biggest area I’ll be look for improvement next year is Iowa’s interior defense. In the past, they’ve allowed poor teams get rolling inside with a lack of rim presence and that did not change much in their first contest, as they allowed 54.
