The Iowa Hawkeyes close out non-conference action tonight (Tuesday) at home against Tennessee Tech. Iowa is 8-3 and takes on a Golden Eagles team that is 8-4. Iowa redshirt freshman Nicholas Baer has been named the Big Ten Conference freshman of the week. The Bettendorf native scored 13 points, grabbed seven rebounds and blocked six shots in the Hawkeyes victory over Drake. Baer is a walk-on which is more common in the sport of football.

Tonight’s game will close out the most challenging non conference scheduled the Hawkeyes have played since McCaffery has been the coach. You can catch the action on KJAN. Pre-game coverage begins at 6:30-p.m., with the tip-off from Carver-Hawkeye Area at 7:30.
