DES MOINES, Iowa -- In the first six weeks of its basketball season, Iowa has gone 10-3 in non-conference play beating teams it was expected to beat.

But the Hawkeyes' true measuring stick arrives tomorrow when they open Big Ten play against No. 24 Ohio State.

The 9-1 Buckeyes won't have to look very hard for motivation. They were embarrassed by West Virginia last Saturday in Columbus, 76-48.
