What to watch

The Hawkeyes have a chance to move into a tie for first place in the Big Ten — they trail the Hoosiers by one game.

They'll get them at home, where the winning streak is now at 29, second-best currently in NCAA Division I play.

Iowa is coming off a bruising 66-61 win over Maryland on Thursday night. The Hoosiers ruined the Hawkeyes' chances at a share of the Big Ten regular-season title last season with a 75-73 win, but the Hawkeyes got even with a win in the Big Ten Tournament.

Six of Iowa's next nine games are on the road, so keeping the home streak going is essential for the Hawkeyes heading into the meat of the Big Ten schedule.
