2. Tyson Walker leads all scorers, scores 20 again

Speaking of Tyson Walker staying hot, I think he’ll “shoot to get hot, shoot to stay hot” again on Saturday afternoon in Iowa City against a really mediocre Iowa defense.

We watched as Indiana couldn’t seem to slow him down on Tuesday night as he went off for 23 points on 5-for-7 shooting from deep and earlier in the season, Purdue couldn’t stop him as he torched the nets for 30. It’s about time he has a huge road game and what better defense to do this against than Iowa’s?

The Hawkeyes give up about 73 points per game which is one of the worst marks in the Big Ten and while they have solid guard play, I think Walker will be too much for Connor McCaffery and Tony Perkins to handle.

Not only do I think Walker scores at least 20 points for a second straight game, I think he’ll lead all scorers on Saturday afternoon, including Kris Murray who averages 20.

Walker is going to piece together a heck of a stretch of games heading into March.
