Gonzaga vs. Iowa in Sioux Falls, S.D., Noon Saturday, CBS. We didn’t get the Gonzaga-Baylor game we wanted, so let’s keep our fingers crossed this one happens. The Zags are coming off a week-long pause, so it will be interesting to see how conditioned and/or rusty they are. The notion of seeing Luka Garza — aka Garzilla — battle Drew Timme and the rest of the nation’s No. 1 team is delectable. - Seth Davis, The Athletic
In Ferentz’s 22 years, the Hawkeyes own winning records against three of the four teams considered top tier when the Big Ten created divisional play in 2011. That’s 9-8 against Penn State and 7-6 against Michigan. Ferentz is up 7-5 on Nebraska and 7-3 since the Cornhuskers joined the Big Ten. Only Ohio State has the upper hand on Iowa (2-8) during the Ferentz era. - Scott Dochterman, The Athletic
