So, let's see..
Iowa's starters go 7'1, 6'9, 6'8, 6'6, and 6'1. so...
Iowa is bigger.
Iowa is stronger.
Iowa is more aggressive.
Iowa likes to run, much like IU, and can play surprisingly well against a press, throwing it over the top.
Iowa can shoot the 3-pointer, and is doing it better as the season progresses, White in-particularly.
Iowa is playing with more and more confidence, as is evidenced by their 4 consecutive wins.
Iowa's coach is smarter than IU's coach. If you don't believe it, just ask him.
Iowa is a "bad matchup" for IU. Any time the majority of Peegsters agree that it's a bad matchup, IU loses.
Iowa has won 4 in a row and 6 of its last 8 games. IU has won 0 in a row and has won 4 of its last 10 games.
IU will not have Colin Hartman, who could have seemingly "guarded" Uthoff or White.
IU will have Perea/Holt on Woodbury and TW on Uthoff or White. Who will be the other IU defender for Uthoff or White?
IU will have a 6'9 and 7'0 scholarship player on the bench. They will remain on the bench.
IU may have to play a walk-on or a football player or a 6'4 offensively-challenged guard on Uthoff or White.
IU will guard 6'6 Jok with 6'4 Blackmon or 6'3 Johnson.
IU will have an advantage with Yogi Ferrell vs. Mike Gesell.
IU will have the home crowd *if* the student section and fans are "up" for the game. Hey, it's ESPN...they should be.
IU
will have "home court advantage" unless Mike Eads, Gene Steletore, TV
Ted or (insert your favorite official) decides otherwise.
