Iowa Remains Solid

The Hawkeyes lost last year’s leading scorer Keegan Murray, but Iowa appears to have found a replacement.

After Keegan left for the NBA Draft, becoming a lottery pick, Kris Murray has stepped up to lead the Hawkeyes.

Murray has averaged 18 points and seven rebounds through two games, helping the Hawkeyes average 100.5 points a game.

Iowa has gotten scoring from other players as well, with four players scoring double figures in its 112-point performance against North Carolina A&T.

The Hawkeyes also do a solid job of turning teams over, as they have forced 38 turnovers and have 17 steals in two games. However, Iowa has had issues dominating the boards, averaging 43 rebounds a game.

Murray will likely be the leader once again against Seton Hall while surrounding scorers will be key to overcoming the Pirates’ strong defense.

Seton Hall Looks to Transfers

Holloway isn’t the only new face leading the Pirates, as a pair of transfers have helped Seton Hall start 2-0.

Clemson transfer Al-Amir Dawes and Louisville transfer Dre Davis have contributed to the Pirates, scoring 13 in Seton Hall’s last win. Dawes finished with a double-double in the win over St. Peter’s, also bringing in 10 rebounds.

Returner Tyrese Samuel has also been an important piece in Seton Hall’s wins, averaging 11.5 points in the first two games.

Although the Pirates have found ways to score, they have had issues taking care of the ball, as Seton Hall has 36 turnovers in its first two games.

The Pirates have also struggled to rebound, with the team averaging 43.5 boards through two games. However, its 21.5 forced turnovers and 48 points allowed a game has been a positive note.

Seton Hall will need to take better care of the ball, but balanced scoring and a strong defense should help against a high-scoring Iowa offense.
