The defenses are stronger than the shooters, which will result in a low-scoring game in Iowa City. Northwestern is likely to struggle to score, and while it may not get many steals, it excels at defending the perimeter and is the superior rebounding team. The Wildcats have the experience to slow the game down, which will hinder an Iowa offense that relies on a fast tempo, excellent ball movement, and shooting 37% from beyond the arc. Opening night often brings nerves, and shooting from long range against these defenses will be challenging, leading us to expect a lower total score.
