Iowa -9.5
O/U 146.5

The Hawkeyes (20-8, 10-7) travel East to tussle with the Nittany Lions (11-17, 2-15).

On paper this looks like an easy Iowa victory, although that’s not what I expect. This will be another dogfight with the hawks pulling it out late 77-69

Just some how and some way win this game. Both for the resume and to get ready for what's on deck.


Because next week could be a pretty yucky 0-2 to finish the regular season - as in potential blowout losses in both. :(

hope I am wrong but I think we go 2-3 before Selection Sunday (would make us 22-11).

2 wins:...........Penn State & first game in BTT
3 losses: ...Michigan, at Nebraska & vs #1 seed Michigan in BTT

This is the type of game the Hawks have a tendency to lose or struggle….against a bottom feeder on the road. They need to start fast and not let Penn State hang around or gain any confidence.

Hopefully they aren’t looking past this game.

No, Iowa isn't looking past this game.

Struggle means nothing. It's a W or it's an L.

Vs the bottom three teams, on the road this season, Iowa is 1-1. Is that a tendency?

2-2 vs the bottom seven.

3-2 vs everyone lower in the standings

Bennett Stritz' shot is so smooth - when he isn't overextending and forcing bad shots.

Here lately, seems like every shot leaving his hand is going down.

The missed 3ball a couple minutes ago was down but bounced out.
