Maryland 2-Point Favorite Against Hawkeyes Tonight

Anybody care to take a stab on why Iowa will cover the 2 or win this game?

Convince me not to go to Meadows after my 2PM meeting cuz that's where it looks like I'm heading as of now.

Home game. Maryland coming off a game 3 days ago against a top ranked opponent feeling cocky because we just lost to Nebraska. Hawks by 8.
 
At least Fernando is gone so Gary Dolphin should be safe right?



All he has to do is watch his tongue

Clip one of these gems on the scorers table

And it's all Good

:cool:
 
Maryland has this 7'2 Lad from Sudan coming off the bench

He blocked a shot the other night

His hand was 3' above the rim

Luka is going to have to be careful and pump fake a LOT

Hopefully, get Smith and Chol Marial, the 7'2 dude, in foul trouble

Something to keep in mind:

Maryland has played one true road game this season. It lost at Penn State, which I'm sure was a less hostile environment than the Palestra. Its other game away from College Park was against Seton Hall in Newark off campus. It lost that one as well.

Hmmm ... :)
 
Iowa isn’t going to get as many easy looks as against Nebraska either. That was a gimmick defense but the principles of doubling off our non shooters will remain.

Maryland is the type of team Iowa already struggled with. Quick PG athletic big men and athletic wings. Think a better Depaul.

If Iowa continues to play mediocre to poor defense this will be an easy Maryland win I imagine.

The road bra.
 
I gotta say, our perimeter defense was the best it's been in a long time against a really quick team. Cowen couldn't get into the lane for shit. Our closeouts on shooters was awesome. Then of course Garza in the lane playing unreal without fouling. That was fun to see.
