Like in many games this Season Iowa will have a very good size advantage in the post. But what DePaul gives up in Height and Size they make up for in athleticism. Paul Reed is their best post standing at 6'9 and weighs 220 pounds he is averaging 11, and 10 on the season. Jaylen Butz is slightly bigger at 225 pounds is averaging 12, and 6. Reed is the one out of the two who will give Iowa more trouble. They have a strong group in the back court in Jalen Coleman-Lands, Charlie Moore, Markese Jacobs. Charlie Moore looks to have revived his career in Chicago and is going off this season averaging 19 points per game on 60% shooting. Moore and Jacobs are both only 5'11 so they give up alot to the Iowa Guards. Romeo Weems has the highest ceiling of anyone on the Roster and is the 6th highest ranked recruit to even sign with DePaul. He has the ability to stretch the floor or bang in the post. He is also only 6'7. Coming off the bench they have 6'7 Darious Hall, 6'11 205 pound Center Nick Ongenda who is a nice rim protector, and 6'2 G Devin Gage. They have in a of the more talented team in recent DePaul history and can make a run for a March Tournament if everything goes like it should. They will have Iowa all they want and more but I think Iowa's size and overall talent will he to much for them still.
