The Auburn Tigers and the Iowa Hawkeyes are set to clash at 6:50 p.m. ET March 16 at Legacy Arena in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Both teams are out to turn their luck around after having lost tight contests in their previous games.

It was close but no cigar for the Tigers as they fell 76-73 to the Arkansas Razorbacks last Thursday. A silver lining for Auburn was the play of guard K.D. Johnson, who had 20 points.

Speaking of close games: Iowa was close but no cigar last week as they fell 73-69 to the Ohio State Buckeyes. Despite the defeat, the Hawkeyes had strong showings from forward Filip Rebraca, who had 20 points in addition to seven boards, and forward Kris Murray, who had 17 points and five assists along with six rebounds.
