With the Big Ten/ACC Challenge behind us, there are only a few more weeks until conference play. You’ll notice that we’re hitting another stretch where there are a couple good games and a lot of schedule fillers. It should be a good week for the B1G.

Game of the Week
Iowa State at Iowa
Iowa is coming off a big road win over North Carolina and have looked pretty good this year. The Iowa State game is a huge rivalry and if the Hawkeyes want that North Carolina game to seem more than a fluke, they’ll need to defend their home court against the 14th ranked Cyclones. I think Iowa pulls off the small upset at home and has a chance to be ranked at this time next week.
