#7 Iowa Basketball at #19 Illinois: How to Watch, Listen + Game Thread

The Hawkeyes have a big road test on Friday night.

NCAA Basketball: Illinois at Iowa
Can Iowa get more offense than just Luka Garza?
Jeffrey Becker-USA TODAY Sports

The Iowa Hawkeyes have been chewing on the sour taste of last week’s loss to Indiana for 8 days now. Finally, they have an opportunity to get that taste out of their (and Hawkeye fans everywhere) mouth.

But the task in front of them won’t be easy. The Hawkeyes travel to Illinois to take on the #19 Fighting Illini. The last time Iowa was in that building, they lost a nail-biter on a last second block of Luka Garza by Kofi Cockburn. Can Iowa straighten things out tonight or will we see more of what we saw in the second half against Indiana?
