NU at Iowa at 11 a.m.

[Walker Fan]

Iowa is favored by 12 points and the over/under is 110 points. Therefore, the oddsmakers are predicting an Iowa win 61-49. Does anyone think that might not happen? I hope so.

Do you think Aaron White is going to get some home-cookin' calls from the refs on his Senior Day?

What will Adam Woodbury try to get away with? Check out the opening tip. He likes to pull down the opposing center's off hand on the center exchange. He also likes to throw the occasional elbow in an opponent's back (see Duje Dukan of UW) or the occasional eye gouge - See Kaminsky, Nigel Hayes and Melo Trimble. McIntosh or Olah should wear googles. Will Uthoff go off like he did in the last game v. NU? Will Gessell, Woodbury and White shoot as poorly as they did v. the Cats? Will Oleshani abuse Lumpkin as he has down in the past games.

Iowa is not a good three point shooting team normally so maybe NU's pack in 2-3 zone can be effective against them again.

Other questions: 1. Will Cobb play?; 2. Will Lumpkin score a basket?; 3. Will Olah and Demps continue to play as well as they did on Tuesday; 4. Will Law and Lindsey play well in a hostile environment; 5. Will McIntosh be healthy and play his normal game?; 6. Will NU stick to the zone for 48 minutes or mix it up? This game has a lot of good story lines.

Would certainly make for an interesting game if the 'Cats played zone for 48 minutes! (Ha!! Just having fun with you Walker Fan!)

My guess to other questions:

1 yes
2 he'll get a dunk
3 yes, Olah will own the first half and Demps will take over late
4. Lindsey will have double digit points he hates iowa. Law will have 4 points and 5 rebounds in a fine but br spectacular game.
5. I don't want to guess about a kids health
6. Yes. It's zone or bust for us

Will the refs call fouls this game or just let Olah molest everyone underneath the hoop again?

Woodbury stopped the tip off thing like 8 games ago.

Aaron White will posterize Skelly today.

1. Yes, but not as well or as many minutes as Tuesday;
2. Probably;
3. Olah will have a good game but may get into a little foul trouble;
4. The freshmen are playing better, more comfortable overall. This should continue that trend;
5. B Mac is reported to feel better. Hope the shot drops;
6. This is a game that NU will mix it up on D. Iowa will not shoot as poorly as they did in Evanston. It's going to take a bit more doing to stay even with Iowa this game.

Tap has to shoot today and make 'em. Even with the diabolical plot by the Big Ten to have Iowa lose every game through tainted officiating, this will be a very tough get for NU. Iowa was outplayed in Evanston and was lucky to push it into overtime. There will need to be some disfunction in Iowa's execution for NU to steal this. If Cobb is on the court he can help on D.

LOL. Olah didn't own anything. He was there to watch an endless succession of dunks though.

Congrats on failing to sweep a team that finished 6-12 in the BIG.
