It has been a strange season for Illinois who started on the fast track at 12-0. Things have become quite pedestrian from the boys of Champagne since as they have managed to go just 9-9 since, and just 3-5 on the road. Iowa has built a season of 18 wins with their strong home-court advantage where they are 14-2 on the season. When you consider the fact that they are unbeaten at home vs. teams that are not ranked in the top 12 in the country, the prospects of the Illini coming in here and stealing a win are very small, especially when you consider they have struggled with the points at just 9-21-1 ATS in their last 31 in conference play. Take Iowa for the straight-up win.
