A pair of Top 25 teams in the Big 10 meet in this showdown. Iowa loves to run, but they are not a big team in the low post and can struggle against tall, physical teams. Unfortunately, they face that and more in this powerhouse Wisconsin frontcourt anchored by 6-7 sophmore Sam Dekker (14.5 points per game, 6.2 rebounds per game) and 7-0 junior Frank Kaminsky (14.2 points per game, 5.8 rebound per game). This is the first game Iowa has played outside its home state in a while, as their only true toad game was at Iowa State last month, an 85-82 defeat. Wisconsin is 31-11 (.738) at home under Bo Ryan against AP Top-25 teams, including wins in each of their last four games vs. ranked foes. Bo Ryan is also 14-7 all-time against the Hawkeyes, including an 8-1 mark at the Kohl Center. The value here is with the undefeated home team to win the game. Play Wisconsin on the moneyline.
