This huge in-state rivalry just got bigger. Both Iowa and Iowa State are ranked, and tonight they will meet for the first time since 1987 with that being the case. The Hawkeyes at 10-1 have perhaps their deepest and most talented team in quite some time. It is the depth that will make the difference here, as Iowa plays 10 players at least 15 minutes each, and will have fresh legs on the floor at all times. The Cyclones like to get out and run, and wear down their opponents, but they won't be able to do that against Iowa, who is simply too deep. The Hawkeyes have really maintained the mojo after a win, where they have followed by going 22-6 ATS in their last 28. I like the competent dog here with a lot of depth, so play on Iowa. Also take the UNDER here. Iowa has held opponents to 64.2 points per game while Iowa State has held opponents in this building to 60.6 per game. In his coaching career, Iowa's Fran McCaffery is 12-2 to the UNDER when facing up-tempo teams like the Hawkeyes (teams that average 62+ shots per game). And, Iowa is 6-2 UNDER In thier last eight road games. Take Iowa and the UNDER.
