Nebraska favored by 1.5

I feel very good about the Hawks chances tonight. There is no way Nebraska can play as good as they did the last 15 minutes of the game in CHA. Plus I think they are still without one of their inside guys.

And let's be honest. No way we should have blown that game in Iowa City, these things have a way of evening themselves out. I think we win by 5-7 points.
 
I have been going back and forth on this one. We have been very poor on the road w/ a few exceptions, but Nebraska really isn't very good. @ 11:45AM on game day I think we will win by 8.
 
Iowa pulls out a close one...68-66. We must pressure Spencer,make him drive on his bad ankle,and do not let him shoot threes! With that bum wheel the way he kills us is with his shooting from the arc. Get on him Devyn.
 
Gatens has broken free and shown he will produce. The loss against Meyers Leonard was the result of Basabe and Cartwright playing like crap, Marble struggling to not turn it over and White being a bit off. If those 4 + McCabe and Oglesby can just play some competent ball, which they will, Iowa beats Nebby going away, which they will.

Iowa WILL win out. If that gets them to #6, they WILL split in the BTT and they WILL go NIT (I stated they needed to finish 3-1 regular and 1-1 BTT - minimum - to make the NIT). If they stay #7, they WILL lose to Minny in the first round and their only post season option will be the CBI.

Enjoy these next 2 W's and hope that Iowa jumps to #6 or Minny gets anything but the #10.

I agree. It would not be good for Iowa to face Minnesota in BTT either. Beating them a 3rd time would be asking to much from this team. I'd rather play PSU or Nebraska again. Nebraska wouldn't beat Iowa on a neutral court for 3rd straight time.

I like it. But I don't see Iowa getting the 6 seed, not with Indiana winning last night.
 
I was on the fence until I read that Ted Valentine is going to be officiating this one. Color me pessimistic now...

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I placed some nice coin on the money line. It only pays $115 to $100 but I don't see anyway we lose tonights game. Its bigger for Iowa than it is for Nebraska even when factoring in Sr night.

The over/under is so frickin unpredictable with Iowa its not even funny. If I were to lean in one direction I would go with the under. 138 is a stretch. Nebraska is averaging 55.2 points in their last 5, Iowa is averaging 65.4 in their last 5.


Spencer 15.1 16
McCray 9.8 8
Talley 8.8 9
Diaz 8.6 7
Richardson 7.5 25

The key is to shut down Spencer and limit McCray. Richardson shot 90% from the field and 6 for 7 from 3 point land.

Nebraska has lost all but three games when Richardson scores less than 10 pts. Shut him down and we will win.
 
Not much since Wisc and Minn at the beginning of the year that would say this team is going to win on the road. PSU, NW, should have both been very winnable games, Purdue was close, but I can definitely see why Iowa is not favored.

Based on some very recent research I think Nebraska will cover pretty easily tonight
