What to Know
The Iowa Hawkeyes will take on the Utah State Aggies at 9:10 p.m. ET on Saturday at Sanford Pentagon. Utah State will be strutting in after a victory while the Hawkeyes will be stumbling in from a loss.
Iowa suffered a grim 73-53 defeat to the Iowa State Cyclones last Thursday. One thing holding Iowa back was the mediocre play of guard Tony Perkins, who did not have his best game: he finished with only nine points on 3-for-10 shooting in his 26 minutes on the court.
Meanwhile, Utah State didn't have too much trouble with the Weber State Wildcats on the road on Wednesday as they won 95-80. Utah State relied on the efforts of guard Steven Ashworth, who shot 7-for-11 from beyond the arc and finished with 27 points, and forward Brandon Horvath, who posted a double-double on 20 points and 14 rebounds.
The Hawkeyes are now 7-3 while the Aggies sit at 8-3. A pair of offensive stats to keep an eye on: Iowa enters the matchup with 86.4 points per game on average, good for fifth best in college basketball. Utah State has displayed some offensive firepower of their own as they rank 23rd in college basketball when it comes to field goal percentage, with 48.70% on the season.
