What to Know
The Iowa Hawkeyes will play host again and welcome the North Carolina A&T Aggies to Carver-Hawkeye Arena, where tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET Friday. After these two teams made easy work of their previous opponents, one of them is set up to suffer a discouraging change of fortune.
The Hawkeyes were fully in charge on Monday, breezing past the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats 89-58 at home. Iowa can attribute much of their success to Tony Perkins, who had 16 points and five assists, and Filip Rebraca, who posted a double-double on 11 points and ten rebounds.
Meanwhile, North Carolina A&T took their contest at home on Monday with ease, bagging a 100-61 victory over the Edward Waters Tigers.
Iowa is the favorite in this one, with an expected 24.5-point margin of victory. Those taking them against the spread are banking on an outcome similar to that of the team's game on Monday, where they covered a 28.5-point spread.
Their wins lifted both teams to an identical 1-0. With both Iowa and North Carolina A&T swaggering in after impressive performances, it will be interesting to see which team steps up to teach the other some humility.
