After an up-and-down week last week where they got run out of Mackey Arena by Purdue and turned around to trounce the Nebraska Cornhuskers at home, the Iowa Hawkeyes hit the road for a pair of Big Ten road games this week. The first of the road tests comes Thursday nigh when Iowa travels to Bloomington, Indiana for a showdown with the Hoosiers in Assembly Hall.

The Hoosiers are battling for the NCAA Tournament lives at this point. They’re riding a 4-game losing streak and with an overall record of 15-8, only three Q1 wins and four road games left on the schedule, Indiana has little room for error down the stretch. They’ll certainly be laser focused on slowing down Luka Garza and beating Iowa Thursday night.

Here’s your quick look at the matchup between Iowa and the Hoosiers.

Who: #21 Iowa Hawkeyes (17-7, 8-5) at Indiana Hoosiers (15-8, 5-7)
