Maybe I'm wrong here but I just don't love this matchup with all of their size. Woody is the only guy we have to go toe to toe with their bigs. If he gets in foul trouble, I'd think it would be game over. I just don't see Uhl, Uthoff, Wagner, and Baer posing much threat. We saw what Costello did to them with Woody on the bench Tuesday night, I fear it could be more of the same and they've got more bigs to throw at us than MSU. Thoughts?

I believe Purdue will get plenty of points in the paint with or without Woody on the floor.
Iowa has 3 main keys to victory IMO:
1. Defensive rebounding - limit 2nd chances, especially easy put backs.
2. Limit TOs - this is standard but is more important on the road.
3. THE key - take and make a high percentage of 3s.
The 3PT shot is the great equalizer and 3PT shooting is one area where Iowa has an advantage over Purdue. Our 3PT shooters - Jok, Uthoff, Ellingson need to launch early and often.

Very true on the 3 point shooting, Iowa has an advantage here and if Iowa can keep it close this could be a deciding factor.
