The strength of schedule takes a big jump for the Iowa Hawkeye men as they get ready to play Ole Miss Tuesday night in the Acrisure Classic in Palm Springs, California. The Hawkeye are 5-0.

That’s Iowa coach Ben McCollum. The Hawkeyes will take on either Utah or Grand Canyon on Wednesday night. Iowa entered the week as the nation’s top shooting team and the efficiency will be tested by the Rebels.

Point guard Bennett Stirtz is averaging 18 points and more than six assists per game and his experience should help against Ole Miss and their switching defenses.

McCollum is not concerned about fatigue playing back-to-back days.
