This Big Ten matchup features the Indiana Hoosiers and the Iowa Hawkeyes.
These teams met just a few weeks ago. Iowa won this game 77-72.
Indiana Hoosiers
Indiana has continued to struggle as they lost 46-48 to Purdue at home. This was their fourth loss in a row and dropped them to 4-11 in the conference. They have now fallen off the bubble and will need to win several games in a row to have a chance to make the tournament.
The Hoosiers have two stand out players this season. One being Romeo Langford, who leads the team in points per game at 17.1. The other being Juwan Morgan, who leads the team in rebounds (8.1), steals (1.1), blocks (1.5), and field goal percentage (55.7%). Neither of these two players have scored more than 20 points during the Hoosiers losing streak. The biggest key for Indiana, is for both Langford and Morgan to have big games. Against a ranked team like Iowa, they cannot afford for their top two players to struggle like they have recently.

The defense for the Hoosiers has overall been very solid this year. They allow just 66.6 points per game. Opponents shoot just 41.8% from the field, so they are solid in this area as well. For the Hoosiers to win, their defense will need to force some turnovers to help take the crowd out of the game. They will also want to limit the Hawkeyes big men. The top two scorers for Iowa are their forwards, so slowing them down will be key.
Iowa Hawkeyes
Iowa snapped their four game winning when they loss to Maryland over this past week. They are now 9-6 in the Big Ten, which puts them in 6th. They still have a chance for a top 4 finish, which is important for what matchup they will get in the Big Ten tournament.
The Hawkeyes are one of the better scoring offenses this season as they average 80.5 points per game. This average goes up to 82.1 when they play at home. They are a very balanced scoring team as their are five different players who average at least 10 points per game. This is great because they have several players who can step up if their teammates are struggling.

Overall the Hawkeyes allow just over 72 points per game. At home, this average is slightly down to 71.3. The Hawkeyes were able to slow down both Romeo Langford and Juwan Morgan just enough in the first meeting to squeak out a win in Indiana. Now with the game being in Iowa, it should help the defense force more turnover and defend more effectively.
