" thursday's matchup between iowa and indiana features two of the big ten's top scorers. jarred uthoff on the hawkeyes and indiana's yogi ferrell. which means this game will most likely be extremed high tempo'd and high scoring. (giaimo) both teams are the highest scoring in the conference and will need to keep pace with each other. (anthony clemmons) it should be a track meet i mean to be honest the last few years that

think we are able to play fast and we are able to play slow. (peter jok) they are athletic they like to run just like we do i mean we are going to scout them ansd see what we have to do to win. (giaimo) the hawkeyes say they key is letting their defense dictate their offense. (mike gesell) when we are not making shots we got to rely on their defense and i think that's what we are going to do. its definitely going to be a track meet. both teams want to get out and run. that's how they want to play that's how we want to play. (fran mccaffery) you got to get back. i mean if you score the ball that helps because it's harder to run on makes but they run on makes. but you got to get your defense back if you dont get your defense back theyre going to score 100 . (giaimo) they also need to contain senior guard yogi ferrell, one of the best in the c ountry, who's averaging 18 ppg. (peter jok) he has it all he can shoot he can drivehe's really quick. probably one of the quickest guards in the big ten and i think mike and sapp got him handled. (mike gesell) i guy like that you're not going to guard with just one player it's going to be a concerted effort from all five guys out

need to lock in on. (alex giaimo) the hoosiers trail the hawkeyes by only one game in the big ten standings. theres a lot on the line for both of these teams. it's going to be intense and going to be a huge big ten battle. with your hawkeye headquarters report in iowa city, alex giaimo, local 4 sports.
