The biggest reason why I like this play is Northwestern's ability to defend inside the 3 which is where Iowa will take 78% of their shots on average in road games, because they are only shooting 27.8% from three on the road. Northwestern just so happens to defend the 2 point game very well ranked 53rd in the country. In the first match up they did not defend well and they will make the necessary adjustments as they are averaging 7.6% better on 2 point defense at home than they are on the road.
