Iowa vs. Nebraska prediction
Tyler Tachman, Hawk Central: If this becomes a game where Iowa is trying to keep pace with Nebraska in an offensive shootout, there’s not much confidence the Hawkeyes will walk away with a win. Look no further than the game against Wisconsin, where Iowa didn’t have enough gas in the tank to match the Badgers’ scoring attack.
Iowa’s offense has not been good enough for that. The Hawkeyes have not shot better than 32.1% from deep in any of their last eight games. Iowa has not scored more than 76 points since the win over Washington on Feb. 4, when the Hawkeyes dropped 84.
Barring an unexpected offensive explosion, Iowa’s most realistic path to victory against Nebraska is recreating the type of rock fight that transpired the first time these teams met.
But for that to happen, Iowa will have to defy some of its recent road trends. Right now, it’s fair to be skeptical about whether the Hawkeyes are capable of doing that.
Nebraska 75, Iowa 69
