Iowa's weekend plans temporarily got derailed due to Oregon State travel difficulties. The Hawkeyes' dual against the Beavers was originally scheduled for Saturday afternoon, then it got pushed back to Sunday, then it got scrapped altogether, which left Iowa scrambling for an opponent.
Army West Point agreed to step in, and now we have a Hawkeyes vs. the Black Knights for a Sunday afternoon showdown. If you can't watch on BTN+, you can catch up on all the action by refreshing this live blog throughout the contest, which is also our EIWA Dual of the Week.
