Iowa scores 82.8 points and has outscored opponents by 11.8 points per game on average. The Golden Gophers are 2-8 against conference opponents. These teams meet for the 2nd time in conference play this season. The Hawkeyes won 81-71 in the last matchup on Jan. 16. Murray led the Hawkeyes with 25 points, and E.J. Stephens led the Golden Gophers with 22 points. The Hawkeyes 10 point win doesn’t tell you the full story about this game. Iowa was blowing out Minnesota for almost the entire game until they let their foot off the gas and Minnesota was able to score in the final stretch but this game should have been a blowout. With Iowa back on their home floor, you won’t see them let up at the end of the game. Look for the Hawkeyes to get a big home win in this one.
