Maryland has an issue with a lack of size, which is not good when you are going against Garzilla. Galen Smith (6-9, 240) averages just 15 minutes a game and 7-2 Chol Marial has the height but not the bulk to guard Garza. For Maryland to defend Garza, they will look to double team the Iowa big man. This will give open looks for Iowa shooters from behind the arc. Joe Wieskamp shoots 38.8percent from deep and CJ Fredrick hits 53.5 percent from deep. Maryland's lack of size and rebounding will cause them a lot of problems against the Hawkeyes.

Play on Iowa.
