So does NW do us a favor against Iowa today?

NW getting a really rough whistle early.

The all off-arm offense isn’t going to get it done from the Cats.

I also don’t think the “give up open jumpers” strategy is a great plan against Iowa.

Yeah but they throw their arms up in disbelief after. Gotta count for something.

I get that Northwestern doesn’t have a great post defender but I still think you are better off trying to play against Garza 1v1 rather than bringing a double every time down the court and giving up open jumpers.

Zone isn’t the answer either

Boo Buie plays like he’s playing against Iowa. :wink:

Buie is pretending he’s playing against MSU

I’m okay with that.

Where were you when a NW player double clutched a dunk?

I don’t understand how Keegan Murray was ranked in the 300s as a recruit.

I really do appreciate the Iowa jokes, but they’re up to 7th in conference-only adjusted defensive efficiency on Kenpom. 4 of 6 games they’ve held teams under 1.1 PPP. Northwestern just went on a 6 minute drought.

They’ve also only played against bottom half offenses in the B1G

Those numbers aren’t adjusted – FWIW.

Did you see this looks NU was missing on? They were all good looks.

I will say Iowa is better than I thought they would be, but I still don’t think they’ll end top 5. Neither Fredrick or Garza are 50% three point shooters.

How many more Big Ten games do we think Northwestern will win? Over/under at 2.5?
