Indiana basketball (10-3, 1-1) resumes play after a long break with a road game against the Iowa Hawkeyes (8-6, 0-3) on Thursday at 9 p.m. ET at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, Iowa. Here's how to watch, with game time and TV information, three leading storylines, the latest on the point spread, the coaching matchup, series history and more.

IOWA CITY, Iowa. – Indiana basketball returns to the court after a 12-day break during the holidays, traveling to Iowa for a 9 p.m. ET tipoff.

Indiana enters the game with a 1-1 record in Big Ten play, defeating Nebraska at home and losing at Rutgers. Iowa is in the midst of a rough stretch, losing three of its last four games, including a 92-83 home loss to Eastern Illinois as 31.5-point favorites.

Indiana's Xavier Johnson and Iowa's Pat McCaffery are both out, meaning each team is missing a member of its starting lineup. Despite Iowa's recent struggles, coach Mike Woodson isn't taking the Hawkeyes lightly.

"I've experienced it all in the NBA in terms of teams that struggle," Woodson said. "Those are the most dangerous teams because their backs is somewhat against the wall. The fact that they're coming home, they play extremely well at home."
