Minnesota plays good defense and Iowa doesn't much of the time, turnovers will be the key in this one.
Also, with the ability of Minnesota to defend so well in the half-court, Iowa much have gread ball movement like on Saturday. If Iowa doesn't stagnate in the half-court, then I like Iowa's chances.
Sampson/Williams are very overrated and no Mbakwe for Minny, make me like Iowa better.
Problem is it is in that horrid arena, one of those places that when Iowa goes, I just hope they don't get blown out...no matter what Iowa team it is, seems like a struggle.
Still, I like how Iowa came out and punched Wisconsin in the mouth, I like them to try and do the same, Minnesota matches up better to control the running game.
Iowa - 64
Minnesota - 59
Iowa plays good defense as Minnesota has only one real 3-pt threat and Iowa runs and gets Sampson in foul trouble.
Remember their front line is no longer: 6-11, 6-10, 6-8...the normalized lineup doesn't get Iowa killed on the boards and allows White to run free.
