Northwestern Wildcats
Northwestern couldn’t sustain their commanding start to the season. The Wildcats have dropped four straight on two separate occassions, and they’ve only won one of their last five games.
Pete Nance’s successful college career is coming to a close, and the captain did all he could this season. The 6’10 forward has hit multiple threes in four of his last five games, and he leads the team in scoring (15.1) and rebounding (6.3).
Boo Buie really blossomed in his junior season. The 6’2 guard led them in scoring for the majority of the season, and he scored a season-high 27 points in the road win over Nebraska. Buie averages 14.7 points per game, while leading the team in assists (4.5).
Chase Audige (10.8ppg, 4.2rpg, 2.2apg) joins Buie in the backcourt.
Iowa Hawkeyes
Iowa responded to their first two-game skid of the season by blowing out Minnesota and Maryland earlier this week. A record game from longtime Hawkeye Jordan Bohannon led to a season-high 110 points in the win over the Terps.
Iowa’s offense has much more juice on the court than it does on the gridiron. Fran McCaffery’s team ranks fifth in the country in scoring at 83.4 points per game, and they should 46% from the field as a team.
Keegan Murphy has turned into one of the best scorers in college basketball. The 6’8 forward scored a career-high 35 points in the first meeting against Maryland, before scoring 30 points on an efficient 12-14 from the field in the road win on Thursday.
Murray leads the Big Ten in scoring at 22.7 points per game, while leading the Hawkeyes in rebounding (8.5)
Jordan Bohannon represents arguably the most experienced player in the country. The 6’1 point guard is the catalyst for one of the most efficient offenses in the country, and his high-IQ level play makes this offense go. Bohannon snapped against the Terps, scoring a career-high 30 points, hitting a school record of 10 threes along the way.
Patrick McCaffery joins Murray in the frontcourt, and the coach’s youngest son is second on the team in scoring (11.2).
Kris Murray, brother of Keegan, scores 9.7 ppg.
CBB Betting Trends:
- Northwestern is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games.

Free Northwestern Wildcats vs. Iowa Hawkeyes NCAAB Prediction: Iowa to Cover
Iowa has caught fire this month, and they will look to bolster their tourney resume here.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Iowa -10.5
Iowa has one of the offenses in the nation, showing the ability to score from both the inside and outside better than most teams. With only two grueling road tests remaining his season, they’ll need to secure a victory here and I think they will. Look for Iowa to send off seniors Jordan Bohannon and Connor McCaffery on a strong note here with a win and cover.
