Iowa coach Ben McCollum may juggle the starting lineup on Tuesday night when the Hawkeyes host ninth ranked Nebraska. Poor starts have been common in the past few weeks and were a factor in losses last week to Maryland and Purdue.

McCollum says the play of senior guard Sam Hoiberg has elevated the Huskers into championship contention, as has the return of senior center Rienk Mast, who missed last season with a knee injury.

Former Iowa guard Pryce Sandfort leads the Huskers in scoring at better than 17 points per game.

Iowa has several players struggling from three point range and McCollum says they need to keep it simple as the try to regain their touch. The Hawkeyes are 13-of-50 from three point range in their last two games.

The Hawkeyes are 8-6 in the Big Ten and 18-7 overall. The Huskers are 11-3 in the Big Ten and 22-3 overall.
