Texas vs. Iowa

The 2K Classic at the Garden will feature a pair of ranked teams in #10 Texas squaring off vs. #25 Iowa. This game should be a hard fought battle. Playing under the bright lights of the Garden early in the season, adjusting to nerves, and unfamiliar shooting backgrounds, along with a high intensity on the defensive end could very well leave these teams short of the total. Iowa has been stingy vs. their two opponents, allowing 56 points in both games, while Texas has allowed 50 and 53 points to their two opening season opponents. They will certainly be defending better offenses here, but the early games is a testament of both teams' will to defend, and this situation should magnify that. Texas has played to a 9-4 mark to the UNDER in their last 13 at a neutral site, and Iowa has been 4-1 to the UNDER in their last five at a neutral site. This one doesn't get there, so the play on the UNDER.
