COLUMBUS, Ohio – With a chance for a Sweet-16 appearance on the line, 10-seed Iowa takes on 2-seed Tennessee in the round of 32 on Sunday.

The Hawkeyes (23-11) clash with the Volunteers (30-5) at 11:15 a.m.

Keys for Iowa

• Contain Grant Williams. Colgate kept the two-time SEC Player of the Year to single digits for just the third time all season and almost pulled off the upset.
• Be comfortable in a shootout. Both teams like to push the pace, but the Volunteers rank 21st in the country with 81.7 points per game.
• Make 3s. It’s been true seen it all season, including the first-round win over Cincinnati; when Iowa hits from deep, it’s a dangerous team.

Keys for Tennessee

• Share the ball. The Volunteers excel in ball movement, as they rank fifth in the country with 632 assists.
• Stay out of foul trouble. Tennessee has committed 605 personal fouls this season. Star forward Grant Williams averages nearly three per game.
• Turn Sunday into a track meet. The Hawkeyes are 4-7 when opponents score more than 80 points this season. The Volunteers are 18-2 when scoring more than 80.

Iowa wins if…
