Creighton at Iowa

The Big 10 versus the Missouri Valley and what stands out in this game is defense. Two unbeaten teams square off and Iowa has held two of its three opponents to 53 and 55 points, holding Northern Illinois to 35%. The UNDER is 6-1 in the Hawkeyes last seven games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600 and 10-3 UNDER the total in their last 13 against the Missouri Valley.  Iowa can also get out and run, but Creighton won't be doing that. Creighton Coach Greg McDermott is off a 23-win campaign and has three of his best players back, a team that is outstanding defensively. Creighton (3-0) is allowing 62 ppg and just held uptempo UAB to 41% shooting the last game.  The UNDER is 4-1 in the Blue Jays last five versus the Big Ten and 23-7-1 UNDER the total in their last 31 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600.  With so much at stake, look for a slow paced defensive game. Play Iowa/Creighton UDNER the total.
