The hits are going to come early and often for these Iowa Hawkeyes as they have a relatively strong non-conference schedule with the mix of the 2k Classic, in-state rivalries, and typical contingent of cupcakes who traipse through Carver-Hawkeye as fall turns into winter. I’ll go through a tier system for what I believe are the most difficult games but here’s how the schedule shakes out chronologically:
Day Date / Time (Central), Opponent (LY KenPom ranking), Location, TV
Thu, Nov. 8 / 7:05p, UMKC Kangaroos (276), Carver-Hawkeye Arena, BTN Plus
Sun, Nov.
