Nebraska @ Iowa

Current Records: Nebraska 7-17; Iowa 16-7

What to Know

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. Nebraska and the Iowa Hawkeyes will face off in a Big Ten battle at 2 p.m. ET Sunday at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Both teams come into the game bolstered by wins in their previous games.

The Cornhuskers didn't have too much trouble with the Minnesota Golden Gophers at home this past Wednesday as they won 78-65. Nebraska's guard Alonzo Verge Jr. looked sharp as he had 22 points.

Meanwhile, Iowa made easy work of the Maryland Terrapins this past Thursday and carried off a 110-87 victory. Iowa's guard Jordan Bohannon was one of the most active players for the team, shooting 10-for-16 from downtown and finishing with 30 points and five dimes.

Nebraska is expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Western Illinois Leathernecks Nov. 9 easily too and instead slipped up with a 75-74. In other words, don't count Iowa out just yet.
