Northwestern Wildcats vs #24 Iowa Hawkeyes. The NCAAB pick for this game is the #24 Iowa Hawkeyes. Northwestern has a reputation for being a sluggish start this season, especially recently. They can get away with that against mid-level talent, but not against a club like Iowa’s.

 

Iowa’s attack is too good, too efficient, and its defense is stable enough to avoid a significant letdown late in the game.

 

Murray is likely to dominate once again against a Wildcats club that lacks a suitable opponent for the Hawkeyes’ premier player. And, unlike their success against a young, inexperienced Nebraska squad, the Iowa attack will not be affected by converting to a zone defense.

 

In fact, Murray could get more looks on the perimeter as a result of this, which is a formula for catastrophe. Northwestern will also be unable to take advantage of second chances like they did against Nebraska because of Iowa’s superior size.

 

This meeting may not be a 20-point rout like the previous one but the Hawkeyes should win easily. The #24 Iowa Hawkeyes will win to a predicted score of 78-69.
