Iowa Men’s Basketball to Face Rider in Season Opener
The Iowa Hawkeyes are set to continue their 2024-25 men’s basketball season with an upcoming game against the Rider Broncs. The matchup is scheduled for Tuesday and will take place at the Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, marking another step in the Hawkeyes’ quest to maintain their undefeated record.
Fans looking to tune into the action will need to subscribe to BTN+ as the game will not be aired on traditional television channels. This streaming platform requires a subscription, and the game is set to tip off at 7 p.m. Central Time.
The Iowa Hawkeyes enter the game with a 4-0 record, having won their previous game against Washington State, which was considered their first significant challenge of the season. Iowa’s performance at home has given them a confident outlook against Rider, particularly in light of Rider’s recent loss to UCLA, another team from the Big Ten Conference, where they were defeated 85-50.
