This looks like a bad line. Alford has his pieces now in place for the Hawkeyes, while the Wolfpack lost Hodge, easily their biggest difference maker to the NBA. Iowa has 5 returning starters and it doesn't get any better than that. There will be an electric atmosphere tonight in Iowa. NC State has not played anyone to date, while Iowa beat Kentucky and fared very well against Texas in an earlier tournament. This will be their first real road test, and it will be a long night for the Pack. Two stars on the Hawkeyes.
