Free Betting Pick: Iowa Hawkeyes -2.5
The meeting here is the first between these two teams this year. However, a concern for the Hawkeyes should be the lack of offensive production in the last game against a fairly susceptible Minnesota defense. The Buckeyes have a slightly better defense than Minnesota and that will help the Buckeyes here in keeping the game close, but the Iowa offense has too much power and talent on the game with Garza on the court. Final Score, Iowa Hawkeyes win 72-69.
