IOWA VS. XAVIER GAME THREAD

Happy Turkey Day! Hopefully you all had lovely Thanksgiving filled with all the gluttony you could handle. Your dessert is some tasty early-season Iowa hoops action.

Finally -- the cupcake parade was fun for what it was, but it's about time that we finally get to see Iowa play an opponent with a pulse.

Same starters for Iowa: Gesell, Marble, Basabe, White, Woodbury. #Hawkeyes #Battle4Atlantis
