In their recent game against Fairleigh Dickinson's Knights, the Hawkeyes dominated with a final score of 102 to 46. Their scoring was consistent throughout all quarters, with an explosive start of 35 points in the first quarter alone. The team's shooting accuracy was remarkable; they achieved a field goal percentage of 55 and were particularly effective inside the paint, where they scored 66 points.


The Hawkeyes also demonstrated exceptional ball movement, totaling 28 assists which contributed to their high assist-to-turnover ratio of 4. This indicates efficient playmaking and smart decision-making on offense. Defensively, Iowa was just as dominant with 12 steals and only allowing seven points off turnovers.


Rebounding is another area where Iowa excelled; they outrebounded Fairleigh Dickinson by a significant margin with a total of 46 rebounds compared to their opponent's 35. This rebounding strength could be crucial against Virginia Tech as it provides more scoring opportunities while limiting those for opponents.


The upcoming game is set to be broadcast nationally on ESPN2 from Spectrum Center in Charlotte. Fans should expect Iowa to continue leveraging their strong inside presence and ball-sharing abilities while maintaining defensive pressure that has been successful for them so far this season.


Mark your calendars for November 10th at 1:00 AM (UTC) when these two teams clash on the court. It promises to be an exciting matchup that fans can watch live or tune into via ESPN2 channel number 209.
