Virginia Tech to get early test against Iowa

Virginia Tech faces Iowa in a neutral-site matchup in Sioux City after a 96-67 win over Mercer. Hokies forward Amani Hansberry said he is building a strong connection with guard Ben Hammond and Oklahoma State transfer Jaylen Curry; all three scored at least 14 points against Mercer. Iowa is also 2-0, and coach Ben McCollum hopes center Andrew McKeever will be available after dealing with back problems.
