Opposing Player to Watch: Aaron White
The 6-8 White is one of two Hawkeyes in double figures and does most of his damage at the foul line. The sophomore averages nearly 7 attempts per game which is good for the 6th best FT rate in Division I and the best in the B1G (Trevor Mbakwe is 13th, Cody Zeller is 21st)
Game Outlook
Iowa on the road isn't Iowa at home. If the Hawkeyes get out to any sort of lead on the Huskers it will be a long day. Nebraska has locked up the #10 seed regardless of what they do today and that last game at the Bob seemed like the perfect end to the season...except it wasn't. Hopefully Miles will remind them a win here plus a couple in the tournament potentially means NIT. However, look for an Iowa team that hasn't lost at Carver Arena in nearly two months to be too much for the Huskers today.
Prediction: Nebraska 72 - Iowa 56
