It’s the Iowa Hawkeyes vs the Clemson Tigers in a first-round NCAA Tournament game. We run down who has the edge and predict the winner.
Iowa basketball begins men's March Madness on Friday with a 5:50 p. m. CT game against Clemson.
The 9-seed Hawkeyes (21-12) and the 8-seed Tigers (24-10) face off in a South Region first-round game in Tampa, Fla. Here's our prediction for Friday's NCAA Tournament contest. Iowa basketball vs.
Clemson prediction All things considered, this isn’t the worst matchup Iowa could’ve drawn. Clemson is down one of its best players. The Tigers haven’t been playing great lately.
And while the narrative could shift depending on how ACC teams fare in the NCAA Tournament, they are not coming from a conference as stacked as the Big Ten. If the Hawkeyes have a letdown, which is very possible given their track record this season, Clemson is good enough to make them pay for it. But this is a very winnable 8/9 matchup for Iowa, which is searching for its first NCAA Tournament win since 2021.
