Nonconf Schedule for 2022-2023: Oct 31 vs Truman State. Season Opener is Nov 7 vs Bethune Cookman. Emerald Coast Classic in Niceville, FL Nov 25-26
- Thread starter Franisdaman
- Start date
Holy poop!
That should be fun.
So, it looks like you were right and that the Emerald Coast Classic is a total of 3 games and not 4
Iowa's non conference schedule will likely be a top-25 schedule now.
Neutral against top-15 preseason Duke
Neutral against 2 of top-15 TCU, Clemson, or Cal
Home against Iowa St
ACC/B1G challenge
Gavitt Games (Big East)--likely road
That's 6 games against Power 6 programs by my count. 4 of which will likely not be in Carver.

That's 6 games against Power 6 programs by my count. 4 of which will likely not be in Carver.
Here's the timeline.
And it appears that we have all 11 nonconference games lined up right now.
The 11 nonconference games:
(Game 1) Nov 7: Bethune Cookman
(Game 2) Nov. 11: North Carolina A&T
(Game 3) Mid Nov: Gavitt Game vs Big East team is VERY LIKELY this year
(Game 4, 5, 6) Three Games--Iowa is contracted to play in the 2022 Emerald Coast Classic in Niceville, FL, on Nov. 25-26, 2022 at Raider Arena on the campus of Northwest Florida State College. ONE PLELIMINARY GAME (vs Omaha) will be held on campus; the 2 other games Iowa will play will be in Niceville, FL. Game matchups will be announced later this summer. Iowa, TCU, Clemson, and Cal headline the tournament. Iowa also played in the 2016 Emerald Coast Classic, where they went 2-2 (Iowa beat Savannah State and UTRGV on campus; they then lost to Virginia by 33 and Memphis by 8 to finish 4th; Virginia was the champion, Providence, runner-up).

(Game 7) Late November, ACC-Big Ten Challenge (likely at CHA)
(Game 8) Early Dec vs Iowa State, at CHA.
(Game 9 ): Dec 6, Jimmy V Classic, vs Duke (Madison Square Garden)
(Game 10) Dec 17: SEMO
(Game 11): Dec. 21: Eastern Illinois

Fran’s first instinct is to be overly cautious with non con scheduling. So this is a pretty clear message about what he thinks the team can do.
Looking at previous years, the Jimmy V classic is normally held around the time we’re also playing ISU and other B1G teams in early December. That will be a tough stretch if that doesn’t change.
Duke is bringing in the #1 rated recruiting class so this will be a top 5 ranked Duke team.
Often it’s difficult to get new guys, especially top rated, to find their roles early in the season. Duke lost to Ohio State in the challenge last year.
It's a tough non-conference schedule for sure. For those that wanted a tough schedule, boy have you got it. It should toughen us up for the conference and we are going to REALLY need good depth this year. Should be a very fun and challenging season.
Well Duke lost its top 5 scorers to draft and 6 of top 8 overall. No sure thing especially in 1st month of season a team comprised or playing primarily freshman will dominate every game. Reason Duke resorted to bringing in big guy Young from NW (avg 9 ppg) and were trying to get aj green.
2 years ago UK struggled big time playing primarily frosh because blue bloods are figuring out on top of top tier classes it’s important to have some experienced players mixed and why they are utilizing the portal more. Because believe it or not all top 25-50 players live up to their billing. Why Kansas last year was successful with hold overs and some transfers along with few true frosh. Was a really good mix. Not saying Iowa will win and Duke will be favored but it’s not a given Duke will win let alone in blowout fashion.
Yeah, Duke should be beatable on Dec 6.
This is a great showcase for the Iowa basketball program and getting invited to this event shows how far Fran has brought the program.
The starters are pretty much set and are experienced.
Ulis (but, will Bowen end up winning the starting job?)
Perkins
PMac
Kris
Filip
I think Payton is going to have a super sophomore year.
We know what we have in Connor. Dix should be cleared to play.
If our other 2 scholarship players, Riley and Josh, step up like they are capable, things could get interesting.

The ACC adds 21 of the top 100 recruits in the country, and perhaps more importantly teams fared significantly better in the transfer portal after hemorrhaging major talent a year ago.The conference is still in a state of flux with significant recent coaching changes and more on the horizon.

- 2021-2022: 17-16, 8-12 in the ACC (10th)
- Departures: David Collins (10.3 ppg., 6.9 rpg., 38% 3pt.) and Naz Bohannon (5.7 ppg., 4.1 rpg.) exhausted their eligibility; Al-Amir Dawes (11.3 ppg., 39.8% 3pt.) transferred to Seton Hall and Nick Honor (7.7 ppg.) transferred to Missouri
- Graduate taking an extra year: Hunter Tyson
- Major Additions: 6-3 top 70 recruit Dillon Hunter, 6-2 Boston College transfer Brevin Galloway (8.3 ppg.), 6-4 4 star recruit R.J. Godrey
- Current Projection: 9th in the ACC; NIT
Brad Brownell was once again hit with unexpected losses in the offseason, which in this case actually included players that were receiving regular playing time (although both were in and out of the starting lineup). Still, Chase Hunter improved significantly last season and should form a solid backcourt with his brother Dillon, and P.J. Hall should be back to full strength after playing with a foot injury almost all of last season. Overall, the Tigers may be very similar to what they were a year ago, but there could be diminishing returns with the conference as a whole being much stronger. At this point, Brad Brownell is one of several ACC coaches that should probably be concerned about whether or not there will be a next season.
Story from today.

6pm start time vs Clemson. Football game vs Nebraska at 3pm that day. Full day of Iowa athletics. Hopefully KF will do us a favor and put them away early and not hang around late into the game so we can don't miss the start of the bball game.
Absolute best time of the year….Hawkeye football and basketball on the same day!
Wasn't quite sure where to put this, but was digging through the B1G schedule releases today and was curious what other's around the B1G have done in terms of non-con scheduling. Just noting the games that seemed interesting to me--sure I missed a few good ones as no one has released an official schedule at this point. This obviously doesn't include ACC challenge and Gavitt.

Last season KenPom had Iowa with the #326 ranked nonconference schedule out of 358 teams. This year's should be much better.

Hawkeye Beacon - Iowa to face Duke in Jimmy V Classic
ESPN Events announced that Iowa will face Duke in the Jimmy V Men's Classic on December 6th at MSG.
iowa.rivals.com
Not ideal having to play ISU 2 days after Duke. No prep time.
100% agreement……Duke will be a big game that will draw all of our guys mental/emotional attention and physical effort. Then they have to travel back and refocus in a hurry.
Well, let's see how we do with a difficult OOC schedule and how that helps us land an NCAA Tourney bid/National Championship!!!
