The Iowa Hawkeyes (10-3, 0-2) return to the hardwood after just two games over the prior 15 days. The Maryland Terrapins (8-4, 0-1) had a similar break in their schedule, with just two games since December 12th, though both of those games occurred last week. How they skirted the second pre-January Big Ten game...I don’t know. They and the Hawks are two of the three winless teams, though, with Nebraska joining them at 0-3.
It’s been a whirlwind for them, as they parted ways with Mark Turgeon in early December after a 5-3 start.
