Should be a good one. On one end you have NWs pressure zone against Iowa's passing and shooters with a solid post. On the other NW has great shooters and some mid-range game. Last year Iowa won 77-51.

Last year Iowa won 77-51.

So last year Iowa won without Gustafson or Clark.

Yep. But they had senior guards in Doyle & Meyer and really moved the ball well.

I wonder if Pulliam will be matched up against Clark? Also interested in seeing how the game will be played in the post. No idea as to who Northwestern has to go against Cziano (sic?).

I could definitely be wrong on this, but I think NW mostly plays a zone and tries to pressure/trap in it to force turnovers. It didn't work against Iowa last year but they really figured things out after that game, going 14-2 the rest of the way.

What is it with Iowa this year? Getting behind early again, 15-6 about midway thru Q1.

edit--Northwestern will probably be a bit harder to come back against than Minnesota was the other day.

36-36 at half. Clark not shooting well so far 2-8 5pts but 7 assists (3TO) Iowa killing NW in the post with Czinano 9-9 (18pts) What is the record??

 

[loonsD]

36-36 at half. Iowa averages 90 ppg so this is the kind of pace NW wants I think.

IDK game is 40 minutes so maybe they don't overreact to the first 5 minutes.

 

[loonsD]

Really good game brewing. 49-46 NW up

 

[nwhoopfan]

The Clark-Pulliam shootout isn't materializing at all, but other players stepping up. 51-46 NW midway thru Q3.

 

[loonsD]

NW in good shape up 68-61

 

[DefenseBB]

Just looked at the live box score and Clark and Pulliam are off tonight. Clark 8 pt and Pulliam 6, NW 72-61 with 1:45 left

 

[loonsD]

NW gonna win it.

Clark fouled out. Bad game on the defensive end as well.
