(NCAAB) Indiana vs. Iowa, 03/01/2016 4:00 PM, Score: 81 - 78
Point Spread: -4.50 | -107.00 Iowa (Home)
Result: Loss
We roll with Iowa today as they hook up with Maryland. Note, Iowa really needs a big win here and they likely get it at the expense of Indiana. Iowa is a top 20 offensive team and this is a team that has a lot of pride behind the coaching of Fran McCaffery and having lost to Penn State, Wisconsin and Ohio State will not bear well for this team. This team needs a big win as they sit at 11-5 in conference as to avoid a relatively difficult seeding in the NCAA Tournament. With Michigan on deck if they can win this game and the next one, they will sit at 12-6 in the Big 10 which will be sufficient for two decent rounds of opponents to get them to the Sweet 16. Indiana comes off a huge win over Illinois and likely has a let down here after the big win and Iowa desperately needs this game and will play with a sense of urgency.
