It has been a rough week for the Iowa men's basketball program. The Hawkeyes went 0-2 this week in their games on the west coast as they fell to USC by 10 on Tuesday and then lost to UCLA by 24 on ...

And Iowa (12-5, 3-3) still has a chance to salvage this West Coast road trip. Winning at least one of the two games was always a realistic target for a successful stay in California. That's still on the table as Iowa faces UCLA on Friday (8 p.m., FS1).

Iowa has scored 80+ in all but two games this season. After winning 11 of its first 13 games, UCLA has dropped four straight contests to see its record fall to 11-6 overall and 2-4 in Big Ten play.
