Hawkeyes Nonconference Schedule Breakdown

About this episode

Iowa’s nonconference hoops slate is packed with home-court firepower, neutral-site showdowns, and a spicy rivalry rematch — all before Big Ten play kicks in. Eight of their 13 games roll at Carver-Hawkeye Arena, starting with Lipscomb and Eastern Illinois in November, then hitting neutral sites like Sioux City (vs. Virginia Tech) and Des Moines (vs. Creighton). The lone true road game? A Nov. 20 tilt in Cincinnati against Xavier. December brings the heated Iowa State showdown — Cyclones have won the last three — plus Thanksgiving matchups with UMBC and Prairie View A&M. Later, Alabama visits Des Moines, and the season closes Dec. 29 back home vs. South Dakota. Times and TV details still pending — but fans have plenty of chances to catch the Hawkeyes in action.
