Previewing Iowa’s rematch with Purdue

It feels like it’s been way longer than 45 days since the Iowa Hawkeyes (11-6, 3-3) lost to the then-#4 Purdue Boilermakers (16-2, 5-2) in West Lafayette, 87-68. The final stat line really doesn’t do the throttling justice - Purdue led 12-4 after about 5:00 and extended the lead to as high as 32 before a garbage time 12-2 run by Iowa closed the gap.

Zach Edey did Zach Edey things. Iowa’s midrange offense fell off and they made just 40% of their twos, with Edey notching three blocks and affecting many others. The one weird quirk was Iowa’s offensive rebounding where they got 16 of their 41 misses for a 39% rebounding rate but not sure how much can be taken from that.
