Likes, dislikes from Iowa basketball's big win over Eastern Illinois

Saint Mary's transfer Drew McKeever was out for the second game in a row. After the season-opening win over Lipscomb, head coach Ben McCollum said that they were being "very cautious" with McKeever's injury. Iowa's schedule is about to heat up. The Hawkeyes are now set to face three power-conference opponents in a row: Virginia Tech, Creighton and Xavier. That stretch begins with Virginia Tech on Nov. 10 in Sioux City. 3-point shooting: Ben McCollum has gone on record saying that he believes Iowa will have more shooting options than last season.
