After suffering their first loss of the season from Kansas City, MO, against Utah State on Friday, Iowa men’s basketball (5-1) returns home to Carver-Hawkeye Arena for a matchup tonight vs. USC Upstate (2-6).
While Brock Harding and Owen Freeman had stellar performances on Friday, the team fell flat against the Aggies by shooting 28-of-64 (43.75%) from the field and a disappointing 5-for-26 (19.23%) from three-point range.
Due to the poor shooting night against Utah State, Iowa’s offensive numbers took a slight dip as the team now shoots 47.7% from the field and 35.8% from deep.
As the Hawkeyes enter tonight against a struggling Spartans program, they will look to get out to an efficient start to re-envigorate the offensive spark that eluded them on Friday.
