After defeating North Carolina on the road in last season’s Big Ten/ ACC, the Iowa men’s basketball team is scheduled to host Florida State as part of this year’s Big Ten/ACC chal- lenge on Dec. 2 in Carver-Hawkeye. Tipoff time and TV information have yet to be determined. The contest will mark Florida State’s and Iowa’s third meeting. The Hawkeyes beat the Seminoles, 102-98, in the first round of the 1988 NCAA Tour- nament. However, in the 2002 Big Ten/ ACC Challenge, Flor- ida State downed the Hawkeyes, 80-67, in McCaffery Tallahassee, Florida. head coach “We’re excited to have the opportunity to host Flori- da State, an extremely talented and skilled basketball team, in this year’s Big Ten/ACC Challenge,” Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery said. “Leon- ard Hamilton has created a winning culture at Florida State and returns nearly its entire roster from last year. This will be another good test for our basketball team and believe it will be an exciting game for our stu- dents and fans to experience at Carv- er-Hawkeye Arena.” Coming off its first NCAA Tourna- ment win and a 22-12 (12-6 Big Ten) record under McCaffery last year, the Hawkeyes return Jarrod Uthoff — the team’s second leading scorer and rebounder behind graduating Aaron White — and Mike Gesell, who led the team with 4 assists per game last year. The last time the Hawkeyes played a Big Ten/ACC Challenge game in Carver was in 2013. McCaffery and Company bested Notre Dame, 98-93.

Thursday, May 14, 2015 horoscopes by Eugenia Last ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your intuition will lead you in the right direction regarding personal matters. Don’t let your emotions run wild or disrupt your plans. Give someone you love the benefit of the doubt. Focus on self-improvement, not on trying to change others. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): You’ll be disappointed if you leave yourself open to criticism. Losses are likely if you trust someone else with your cash. Don’t fold under pressure or provoke a problem with someone in an authoritative position. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Use your skills to do something to benefit a cause you believe in. Your actions will impress onlookers and discourage any competition you face. Don’t hold back on negotiations. Present, and sell what you have to offer. CANCER (June 21-July 22): You will face confusion and emotional distress if you don’t accept the changes going on around you.
