Minnesota at Iowa

Iowa is home and loves to run, but Minnesota prefers a slower pace. Who controls the tempo?  Minnesota coach Richard Pitino's squad took Michigan State to overtime on the road, and is coming off its own win over the Ohio State Buckeyes. The Golden Gophers held Ohio State to 53 points and 35% shooting, plus held Michigan State to 40%. Minnesota ranks No. 1 in the Big Ten in steals per game (8.4), so son Pitino has clearly learned to teach defense like his famous father! Minnesota is on a 7-3 run UNDER the total, and the UNDER is 12-4 in the Gophers last 16 against the Big Ten, plus 11-4-1 UNDER following a win. Iowa will look to run, but plays good defense at home. And the UNDER is 6-0 when the Hawkeyes face a team with a winning record. And when these Big 10 rivals meet, the UNDER is 6-0 in the last six meetings, plus the UNDER is 5-1 in the last six meetings in Iowa. Play Minnesota/Iowa UNDER the Total.
