Northern Iowa vs. Hawaii College Basketball Pick Prediction 12/25/2021 by Tony T.
Northern Iowa vs. Hawaii—Northern Iowa is an experienced team returning all five starters from last season. They have improved their shooting this year and best in the nation on the defensive glass. They were competitive in this tournament losing by two to Liberty and Wyoming with strong play on the glass. Both losses in this tournament by Hawaii were bad losing by 14 to Vanderbilt and 7 to a bad South Florida Team. Rainbows sloppy with the basketball high turnover team that doesn't force them on defense. Hawaii struggles to defend the perimeter and inside. This is a poor three point shooting team making only 31.9%. On defense they sit 357th in block shots and 355th in steals. Hawaii downgraded their basketball program playing in the Big West leaving the Mountain West a few years ago and the quality has decreased. Play Northern Iowa -5.
