What to know: Iowa will try to snap back from a 116-65 walloping at Wisconsin Friday night. It was the Hawkeyes’ worst loss since a 104-68 defeat at Purdue in 2020.

In three Big Ten games, the Hawkeyes have been outrebounded by an average of 13.6 per game.

Drew Thelwell scored 25 points at Wisconsin, becoming the fifth different Hawkeye to score 20 in a game this season.

Nebraska beat UCLA 65-58 in Lincoln Saturday for its sixth-straight win. The Huskers also have wins over Indiana and Creighton. Iowa has won nine of its last 10 games against the Huskers in Carver.

Senior guard Brice Williams leads Nebraska in scoring with 18.8 points per game. He is shooting 40.4 percent from 3-point range and 90.5 percent at the foul line.

“Brice Williams is playing about as well as anybody that I've seen this year, anywhere,” Iowa Coach Fran McCaffery said Monday.

Former Hawkeye guard Ahron Ulis is a reserve for the Huskers, averaging 3.3 points and 14.6 minutes. He played in 84 games over three seasons at Iowa before transferring. He missed four games with a sprained ankle before playing nine minutes against UCLA.

“I thought he gave us really good minutes,” Nebraska Coach Fred Hoiberg said after the game.

Hoiberg is in his sixth year at Nebraska. His team is 35-13 since the start of the 2023-24 season.
