Iowa basketball adds South Dakota to nonconference schedule

Iowa basketball will host South Dakota on December 29, 2026, at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The matchup is part of Iowa's 2026-27 nonconference schedule and follows last season's Elite Eight appearance, marking a significant opportunity for both teams. South Dakota, last season's 16-16 team, is dealing with roster changes after losing three leading scorers to the transfer portal. Iowa's new transfer center Andrew McKeever is expected to be a key player in this game. This matchup will provide Iowa fans with another chance to see their team at home before Big Ten play begins.
