This game is obviously going to be ugly with a Top 25 team hosting a 3-8 team. Iowa is strong defensively. They struggled vs,. Villanova and Notre Dame, but against everyone else they have really played shut-down defense, allowing just 58.3 points per game. Even including those two rough games, this team is ranked fourth in the nation in field goal defense, allowing just 36.4% on the season. In comes Fairleigh Dickinson, a team that has averaged just 58.3 points on 42.4% from the field their last three games. They are going to find it very hard to find the bucket here, making this total too high. Yes, Iowa can score, but will they get into triple figures here, which may be required to reach this total? Hawkeyes head coach Fran McCaffery is 35-19 UNDER in his coaching career as a double-digit favorite. Take the UNDER here.
