Iowa v UNC-W Prediction Thread

First game of the year is right around the corner! I'm stoked. I'm sure these prediction threads won't be as popular as the football variety, but let's give at least this one a go.

Iowa wins a sloppy heavily foul prone game 84 - 58

White as the high scorer, with half of his points (at least) coming from the FT line.

Everyone gets minutes, and the trolls start threads about how bad the season is going to go.

Go Hawks
 


The 3's drop at a nice 44% clip (11 of 25), and we get 15+ minutes of Jok and Uthoff. Woodbury impresses with a double double, and White and Marble each pour in at least 20. Hawks win easily 88-56.
 


How about IA scores over 100 and a win by 23 pts because Dev wakes up for a real game; White, McCabe, and Woody will be in double figure scoring, even a couple of DDs by 2 of our 4 veteran players. Go Hawks!
 


Iowa 75 UNC-W 62

Iowa pulls away in the 2nd half. I think they may give us a game for a half or so with their experience.
 








Iowa wins by 30. Instead of all the dumb people freaking out that we're gonna suck because of an exhibition game, all the dumb people will overreact that this is a sweet 16 team based off of 1 regular season game.
 


Iowa 84 - UNC Wilmington 60, we pound them inside and on the boards, Woody has a double-double, White leads us in scoring.
 


Iowa 91, UNC Wilmington 55.
Mccabe leads the team in scoring again. Mccabe, Marble and Jok hit 2-3 three balls a piece and ease the concern about 3 point shooting.
 






UNC-Wilmington crushed their exhbition-game competition, beating Belmont Abbey, 101-51 and Methodist, 92-51. Iowa only beat Augustana by 22. Iowa better not have an off night or take UNCW lightly. Coached by former Tennessee coach, Buzz Peterson, and are a veteran group. Iowa has lost to teams like this before.
 




They return players from a team who won 10 games last year and lost to a 5 win team by 23 points. We'll be fine.
 


Blowout. 25 point margin minimum, could be worse depending on how much Fran had to drink last night and how bad his hangover is at gametime.
