The Iowa basketball team’s last regular-season game, against No. 8 Purdue, is now set for 3 p.m. March 5.
The game time and date was announced Monday; it had been in limbo since the beginning of the season. The contest will be televised on ESPN, Iowa’s first contest on the main channel this year.
The Hawkeyes have had two other games air on the ESPN family of networks this season, with the team’s Nov. 30 loss at Wake Forest airing on ESPNU and the team’s 64-63 win at Indiana on Feb. 5 airing on ESPN2.
The game will be Iowa’s last of three remaining in this year’s regular season and the only home game left.
The Hawkeyes have games at Illinois and Michigan State before the March 5 game.
