Minnesota at Iowa

Iowa plays great at home, 11-3, and is on a roll, winning two straight routs. The Hawkeyes are 25-12 ATS at home against a team with a losing road record. Into town comes a struggling Minnesota squad that is 1-5 on the road. Minnesota is on a 2-9 ATS run and just 4-7 in the Big 10. The last game Minnesota beat Purdue, but shot 39% at home. They were down at the half and needed a 21-2 second half run. Still, Purdue made 11-26 threes (42%) and outrebounded them 40-28. That will be a problem against a tall and talented Iowa team that is playing confident basketball, whipping Michigan (72-54) and then winning at home over No. 17 Maryland (71-55). Iowa shot over 60% in each game. They led Maryland 40-17 at half, shooting 64%, and allowed 36.7%. The Golden Gophers are 6-20-1 ATS in their last 27 road games, so grab the hot home court. Play Iowa.
