Iowa has a big frontcourt and can play any style. They average 69 points per game and just hung 81 against Rutgers. The OVER is 14-6 after the Hawkeyes cover a game, plus 16-7-1 OVER the total against the Big Ten. Nebraska's defense has looked out of gas, losing six of the last seven games. They allowed 69 points and 46.5% shooting the last game in a loss to Maryland. Iowa didn't have a great offensive game when they met a month ago, but still won scoring 70 points despite 38% shooting from the field and just 5-of-20 from long range. The Hawkeyes will shoot much better than that today, but this Iowa defense is suspect on the road. In their last two road games, they allowed Northwestern to hit nine three-pointers and allowed banged up Michigan to score 72 points. Play this one OVER the total.
