Watch Iowa vs. Northern Iowa game today: TV channel, time, streaming

After a rather frustrating Sunday loss in East Lansing, Mich., to No. 17 Michigan State, No. 22 Iowa (9-2, 0-1 Big Ten) returns home to Carver-Hawkeye Arena tonight to take on Northern Iowa (5-5).

In the loss to the Spartans, the Hawkeyes let their fourth-quarter lead slip through the combination of a 14-0 Michigan State win and an anemic Iowa offense to end the game. Although the Hawkeyes had a chance to take the lead in the final seconds, they were unable to convert a shot attempt by senior guard Lucy Olsen.

In 11 games, Iowa scored 75.5 points per game on 47.3% shooting from the floor, 31.8% from deep and 72.6% from the free throw line.

Olsen leads the team offensively, averaging 18.3 points per game on 44.7% shooting from the field, 25.6% from 3-point territory and 80.6% from the charity stripe in nine games.

Defensively, the Hawkeyes force an average of 17.8 turnovers per game, including 7.1 steals and 4.6 blocks. The Hawkeyes also hold their opponents to 61.9 points per game on 37.1% shooting from the field and 31.2% from deep.

With Northern Iowa in town, the Hawkeyes will look to get their winning performance back tonight against the Panthers.
