Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Colorado Buffaloes: TV, stream, broadcast details for Friday
The No. 2 Iowa Hawkeyes made their way out of the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament and are in the Sweet 16. They head to Seattle to take on the No. 6 Colorado Buffaloes for a spot in the Elite 8 in a region that has suddenly become utterly wide open due to the chaos amongst the rest of the teams.
Standing in front of Iowa is a Colorado team that is playing well at the right time along with an abundance of confidence as they just bounced the No. 3 Duke Blue Devils in a surprise upset in the second round. This won’t be any walk in the park, but that may be alright for the Hawkeyes as they proved to everyone, themselves included, that they are ready to grind out a gutsy win as they did against No. 10 Georgia in the second round.
As we await the tip off on Friday evening, here is how to watch, stream, and listen to the game along with some tidbits of information to get ready.
