Basketball nonconference games released
Iowa has announced its nonconference men’s basketball schedule for the upcoming season. The slate will see the Hawkeyes play seven regular-season games at home.
The Hawkeyes will face Illinois-Springfield in an exhibition at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on Nov. 7.
Iowa will open its regular season slate with a home game against South Dakota State on Nov. 14, then play Louisiana-Monroe two days later. First-year head coach Fran McCaffery’s squad will travel to the U.S. Virgin Islands to participate in the 2010 Paradise Jam tournament in St. Thomas, where the Hawkeyes will first play Xavier on Nov. 19. The Hawkeyes will undoubtedly face their toughest nonconference road test when they travel to Winston-Salem, N.C., to play Wake Forest on Nov. 30 in this year’s ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
The rest of Iowa’s non-league schedule includes home games against Idaho State (Dec. 4), Northern Iowa (Dec. 7), Iowa State (Dec. 10), and Louisiana Tech (Dec. 21). The team’s final road nonconference game pits the Hawkeyes against Drake on Dec. 18.
