THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-IOWA PREDICTION THREAD
- Thread starter bac2therac
- Start date
Iowa has big size advantage at the Guard and forward spots, and they shoot 38% from 3-pt range as a team. They will carve us up at Carver-Hawkeye.
They also have the top defense in the Big Ten, only giving up 62.4 ppg, and they are tied for 4th in overall point differential at +16.1 (the other top four teams are Michigan, Illinois, Purdue, and Nebraska). Will be difficult for us to score.

We win. Three point Bank shot from the corner at the buzzer.
Expect a repeat of Wisconsin game where we get boat raced in first half and maybe throws some backups in second half. Maybe backdoor cover of spread like wisky? Probably not, Iowa 84, Rutgers 62
This feels like one of the worst matchups for us in the B1G. I don't think this one will be particularly close. Need a legacy game from Big E
team is gaining some fluidity and confidence playing with each other

I'll probably be in bed by 9 PM after staying up late to watch Indiana-Miami. I'll check out the box score in the morning and if it looks like we played a decent game, I'll watch it sometime before the Indiana game on Friday. If it's one to forget, I'll forget it.
