UL Monroe at Iowa

Iowa has really dropped off the last couple years, and the rebuilding process is under way. UL Monroe is a team that can score as they are averaging nearly 75ppg. They have a trio of scorers in Payne, Hooper and Brown. Payne has averaged 15.7ppg coming off the bench for Monroe, so when they need a spark he is answering the call. The Hawkeyes are really struggling at the offensive end where they have averaged just 58ppg, and possess just one double-digit scorer in Justin Johnson. The shooting woes continued against Wake Forest, where they connected on just 38%, and were just 2-15 from three-point range. Even the charity stripe was a chore as the Hawkeyes converted just 7-18. To make matters worse they turned the ball over 23 times. Just too many offensive flaws to be giving a team that can score this many points, so we will grab the points here.
