The Iowa Hawkeyes look for their third straight victory this evening as they host Minnesota in the Big Ten. The Hawks are 6-4 in the league race after wins over Michigan and Maryland and Coach Fran McCaffery credits better execution on the offensive end. Iowa used a late basket by Jarod Uthoff to win the first meeting in the Twin Cities and McCaffery expects the Gophers to come at them with pressure defense.

After starting 0-5 in the league race Minnesota has won four of its last six. Minnesota coach Richard Pitino says the Hawkeyes cause them matchup problems. Pitino feels the Gophers are a more confident team going into this game.
