Iowa Hawkeyes

The Iowa Hawkeyes are currently in third place of the Big Ten Conference with a record of 18-8 for the season. They are 2.5 games behind Penn State Nittany Lions and they need another run to chase them. They are coming off from a win that they hope to build on to further climb up the Big Ten. Garza is a talent that is being attractive to NBA scouts as he can give his team with huge numbers of 23.7 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game. Wieskamp is also creating some attention with 15.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals. Frederick has been the x-factor for this team and he can fill up the stat sheet once Garza and Wieskamp is having an off night in the court.

Players to watch:L. Garza C (25 GP 31 MIN 23.7 PTS 9.8 REB 1 AST 0.8 STL 1.8 BLK 1.8 TO 55.8 FG% 66.5 FT% 39 3PT%), J. Wieskamp G (25 GP 32 MIN 15.4 PTS 6.1 REB 1.7 AST 1.2 STL 0.6 BLK 1.6 TO 45.8 FG% 82.8 FT% 38 3PT%), C. Fredrick G (22 GP 28.1 MIN 10.7 PTS 2 REB 2.6 AST 0.8 STL 0.2 BLK 1.4 TO 49.7 FG% 78.6 FT% 46.7 3PT%).

Minnesota Golden Gophers

The Minnesota Golden Gophers are currently at third to the last in the Big Ten Conference with a 12-12 record. This team had done a good job of protecting their home court as they won 10 out of their 13 matches don on their home floor. Oturu is an automatic double-double for this team with 20.1 points and 11.5 rebounds. His 2.7 blocks per game is also a huge factor in controlling the defensive paint. Carr is a player that contributes across the board with 15.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.7 assists. This team, other than Kalscheur, lacks some productivity from their bench players and it has been their glaring weakness in the season.

Players to watch: D. Oturu C (23 GP 34.1 MIN 20.1 PTS 11.5 REB 1.2 AST 0.5 STL 2.7 BLK 2.9 TO 58.1 FG% 71.5 FT% 30.8 3PT%), M. Carr G (23 GP 37 MIN 15.7 PTS 5.8 REB 6.7 AST 0.9 STL 0.1 BLK 2.7 TO 37.4 FG% 72.7 FT% 33.3 3PT%), G. Kalscheur G (23 GP 33.6 MIN 11.7 PTS 2.7 REB 1.3 AST 1.1 STL 0.3 BLK 1.5 TO 36.7 FG% 75 FT% 33.3 3PT%).
