Scouting Iowa

Iowa comes into Tuesday’s game with a wave of momentum following a pair of wins over nationally ranked Michigan State and Purdue last week. The Hawkeyes, who are 11-3 on the year, became just the second Big Ten team in the last 20 years to go 2-0 with a pair of wins over ranked teams. Iowa is 11-3 on the season and comes in riding a four-game win streak. Iowa’s three losses came against Dayton, Notre Dame and at Iowa State.

The Hawkeyes are a veteran squad which starts four seniors and a junior. Iowa averages 81.7 points per game and is holding opponents under 40 percent shooting from the floor and 30 percent from the 3-point line. Senior forward Jarrod Uthoff has been one of the Big Ten’s best players, as he averages 18.1 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.3 blocks per game. The 6-foot-9 junior is shooting 45 percent from the 3-point line and nearly 50 percent from the floor. Junior guard Peter Jok also averages double figures at 13.5 points per game, while seven Hawkeyes average at least six points per game

This is going to be a really tough game. Maybe Iowa comes out flat after a couple emotional wins and Nebraska can capitalize.

Did I see that right? Iowa is favored by 15?

[teachercd]

Not only do I like the 15 points I like NU to maybe eek out a win...Iowa just played two crazy emotional games and there is no way they are taking the Huskers seriously...Look for low scoring, poor shooting and a quiet crowd.

Hope your right, but we normally play bad in Iowa.

I'm sorry, but I'm not even going to attempt to watch this game. Not even close to worth my time. Would rather watch paint dry than see Iowa throttle this team on their home floor

[redout22]

First game that I will get to watch in quite some time.. Don't know if I'm excited or not for it.

I can't wait for two hours of watching this team attempt to break a full court press with the efficiency of a junior high girls team. Basic fundamental concepts that a miles squad has yet to show they know

We're up 8-0 at the U16 TO bitches.

What was that PC?

 

(I'm just as negative as you are, don't worry)

[Atbone95]

Webster is putting on a show driving to the bucket. 6 pts already.

 

12-2 'Skers.
