How the Hawkeyes can advance to the Elite Eight: Unlike most other Sweet 16 matchups, we have evidence on how Iowa can beat Nebraska (and vice-versa). When the Hawkeyes beat the Cornhuskers back on Feb. 17, Bennett Stirtz was relatively inefficient but still finished with 25 points in willing Iowa to a win. When the Hawkeyes lost to the Cornhuskers in the regular-season finale, he finished with 11 points on 10 shots. In the NCAA tournament, Stirtz has received plenty of help from his supporting cast, with Alvaro Folgueiras averaging 14.0 in two wins and Tavion Banks scoring 20 against Florida. Defensively, they have to avoid fouling. They ranked last in the Big Ten in defensive free-throw rate, and there was a noticeable gap in free-throw attempts in the two games against Nebraska. When Iowa won, they were +6 at the free-throw line. When Nebraska won, Iowa was -10 at the stripe. -- Borzello

There’s more than just a chance. This is not the matchup the Haughty Hoibergs wanted. Iowa takes care of the ball, doesn’t make dumb mistakes, gets honest officiating, defends, this is their game. I like our chances.
Its a hell of a lot better match up than Florida was.

Im content at this point regardless of the outcome Thursday.
