The Iowa Hawkeyes come into this game with a commendable track record from the previous season. Their overall field goal percentage was an impressive 51 percent, highlighting their efficiency in scoring. Free throws were another area of strength for the team, with a 77 percent success rate that could prove crucial in close-game situations. Additionally, their true shooting percentage stood at 62 percent – a testament to their effective shooting from all areas of the floor.


From beyond the arc, Iowa managed a solid 38 percent on three-pointers while maintaining an even more remarkable two-point percentage at nearly 60 percent. These statistics suggest that they have been able to balance perimeter shooting with interior scoring effectively.


On average per game last season, Iowa tallied up significant numbers: approximately 87 points scored and around 21 assists demonstrate their offensive firepower and teamwork. With about 35 rebounds per game as well as defensive stats like over two blocks and seven steals per contest, they've shown proficiency on both ends of the floor.


However, one area where improvement could be seen is in turnovers; averaging just over 14 per game indicates potential lapses in ball control that they'll need to tighten up against Fairleigh Dickinson.


The venue itself may play into Iowa's hands; Carver-Hawkeye Arena has been known for its vibrant atmosphere which can energize home players while imposing pressure on visitors.


As we look forward to this matchup, it's clear that if Iowa can capitalize on their strengths and maintain discipline in possession play, they stand a good chance of controlling this encounter against Fairleigh Dickinson Knights.


Fans can catch all the action live from Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City on November 7th at half-past midnight UTC (November 6th local time). The broadcast will be available via B1G+ network online for those who want to follow every moment as it unfolds.
