Nebraska is coming into this game with some confidence on their side as they are coming off of their first win in the conference this season. They are now 1-12 in their conference games and are still winless on the road with a 0-6 record. They are going up against an Iowa side that is only 6-6 in their conference games this season but they have been very good at home with a 12-2 record there. Iowa is coming off of a game where they scored 110 points on the road in Maryland and their player Bohannon even broke an Iowa record for most 3 pointers made in one game. Iowa has won 2 straight and both have been by double digits. Nebraska finally got a win in the Big Ten this season but that means nothing and they are still the worst team in the Big Ten by far. Iowa has been picking up their play recently and they should be able to crush Nebraska here at home. Iowa will win this game by double digits close to 20 points.

"I just got to learn with the kids, and grow with the kids, and got to know them. As a kid, for me, I'd never been to a college game, so I thought it would be something really special for them." - Derrick Walker after their first conference win of the season against Minnesota.

 

 

"I told Carter I respect the heck out of your dad and everything he's done. I've been trying to break his record for four, five, six years now and we both had a good laugh about that. It's kind of crazy breaking a guy like that's record because he's a guy I looked up to and watched his highlights.” - Jordan Bohannon on his Iowa record breaking 10 3-pointers in their win against Maryland.
