If Hawkeye Player A does this, we win

I think Jok could very well score 25 and we could quite realistically still lose. (See Memphis)
I'd bet it comes down to free throws. If we convert 75%+ from the line, we win.
The other factor for me is bench scoring. We need it.

I think free throws will be key. UNI will send the Hawks to the line quite a bit.
Baer, Pemsl, JBo go on a tear and win this game. Pemsl leads all Hawkeye scorers with 16. Jok adds 15pts & 8 boards.
On Iowa!
UNI is going to try to shut down Jok and Pemsl. To win we have to shoot better than they do from the outside. I think the big guys neutralize each other. If we win, it will be because of Baer, Bohannon and Moss stepping up, and solid games from Wagner, Uhl and maybe Ellingson because of his shooting. Iowa has to make life miserable for Morgan. I think it's easier for them to limit Jok than it is for us to limit all their better shooters. But, if Jok has a big game, we win. If UNI's guards go off, they win. I agree with the free throws. UNI has a huge advantage there. I hope I am wrong, but Iowa often plays terrible after the exams are over.

If Hawkeye players A-Z play defense like we did with Iowa State, we win. Offense is not a problem.
We have to win the rebound/TO battle. UNI crashes the boards and their bigs are pretty good. Also can't have 15+ turnovers.
Jok has to be motivated and play like he did against ISU. Throwing his body around, high energy, rebounding, taking the ball to the hole, that's how we win.
We need to control the boards and get out and run. If UNI can slow us down and keep the game in the 50's, we're in trouble.
