Gatens is on fire right now. Iowa played a sloppy game against the struggling illini.
If Iowa takes czre of the ball, they should win, right?
Iowa is playing for a minor postseason tournament beyond the Big-10 tourney. At 15-14 SU, a win here would ensure a winning regular season with just one game left to be played, a home contest against Northwestern. Iowa lost to the Huskers in Iowa City back in January. One huge difference in this one is the fact that Jorge Brian Diaz won't be on the floor. Nebraska's starting center has missed several games this season and finally had to call it quits a few weeks ago...the Huskers haven't been the same. Diaz didn't put up big numbers in the win over Iowa, but Brandon Richardson certinaly did, scoring 25 points on 9 of 10 shooting, including 6 of 7 from behind the arc. Richardson is a 6'0" guard who averages just 7.5 ppg and has topped 9 points just once in his last five games. Making matters even worse for the Huskers is the injury suffered to their best player, leading scorer, Bo Spencer. The senior hurt his ankle and didn't playing the second half at Michigan State over the weekend. Doc Sadler expects Spencer to start in tonight's home finale, but he's not 100% healthy. This may be Sadler's home finale as coach at Nebraska and while the remaining players will want to play hard for the under-achieving coach, they just don't have the "guns." It's going to be tough for Nebraska's hamstrung backcourt to matchup with Matt Gatens and I expect Iowa's leading scorer to lead his team to a win |
