OCTOBER 12, 2020 UPDATE:
As expected, per Jeff Goodman (see tweet that follows), it looks like Iowa will open its season on November 25th when they host their own MTE (Multi-Team Event) that includes Southern and North Carolina Central. There is expected to be one more team that will join them.
NOTE: The first three games OF THE ORIGINAL SCHEDULE constituted an exempt multi-team event (MTE) that Iowa was hosting. This home "tournament" was considered a classic; it was not a traditional tournament. Iowa, Southern, North Carolina Central and South Dakota were to all play each other. South Dakota was to host two games before playing at Iowa.
ORIGINAL Nonconference Schedule:
Game 1. Nov 10 vs Southern (17-15 last season, 13-5 in the Southwestern Athletic Conference)
Game 2. Nov 13 vs NC Central (18-13, 13-3 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference)
Game 3. Nov 16 or Nov 20 vs South Dakota (20-12, 10-6 Summit League)
OCTOBER 8, 2020 UPDATE:
Before covid-19, it was highly likely we were going to see Iowa at either Villanova or Creighton for the Gavitt Games.
Now it appears the Gavitt Games have been canceled.
And it looks like Nov 1 is earliest we will see a conference game schedule based on this tweet.
Fran wants to play a 27 game schedule, which is the maximum # of games a team can play.
Does this 27 game schedule sound about right? As you can see, there appears 2 games yet to be determined.
20--conference games
2--hosting a multi team event (MTE)
1--Gonzaga
1--Iowa State
