Yeah. Definitely not the most anticipated game, but it is not a bad one at all.

Neither team is doing all that good on offense. A couple good 3s and that is it. WSU has given up turnovers and Iowa has missed lots of shots. Indiana will embarrass Iowa if they play like this against them, and that is given they don't already.

Wichita State has dominated the paint. Iowa has stopped shooting from the 3 point range for some reason.

 

[iowajerms]

Wichita State won the Cancune Challenge by score of 75-63.

Wichita State dominated the paint and they played smarter. Iowa tried to force shots or they just couldn't make any from under the hoop. It was a good game though.

Wasn't Iowa supposed to be a sleeper pick?
