Iowa vs Northwestern Preview

The Hawkeyes are coming off an impressive 67-49 win against a 12th ranked Maryland team. The win against Maryland ended Iowa’s two-game losing skid, after they dropped back-to-back games against Penn State and Nebraska.

The Hawkeyes have the best scoring offense in the Big Ten, scoring 79.6 points a game. Center Luke Garza leads Iowa in both scoring and rebounding, averaging 22 points and 10.8 rebounds a game.

Iowa is averaging 17.8 assists a game, which is 10th in the country, so they can move the ball well.

The Hawkeyes haven’t been the best defensive team this season, however. They’re 13th in the Big Ten in scoring defense, allowing 69.4 points a game. They’re third in the Big Ten in steals, though, so they have been opportunistic at times.

Northwestern have three other players averaging in double figures, with Boo Buie scoring 10.8 points a game, Pat Spencer adding 10.8 points a contest, and center Ryan Young adding 10.1 points while also leading the team in rebounds, hauling in 6.9 boards a game.

On defense, Northwestern is allowing 65.7 points a game. The Wildcats are scoring 66.8 points a game. Their shooting has not been optimal, as they’re making just 42.4% of their shots from the field.
