You need a big frontcourt to hang with Gonzaga, and Iowa matches up well. The Hawkeyes were also a great defensive team this season, unlike last year, finishing up second in the Big 10 in points allowed and tops in field goal defense allowing 39%. Iowa is on a 4-0 run UNDER the total, 6-1 UNDER in non-conference games, and 7-0 UNDER at neutral sites. They held Davidson to 33% shooting and 52 points the last game. Gonzaga can play any style, No. 1 in the West Coast Conference in points allowed and field goal percentage defense (39%). Gonzaga is off a pair of high scoring games against uptempo BYU and North Dakota State, but this will be defensive battle. Gonzaga stepped up to play a tough non-conference game against Arizona and won 66-63, in overtime. Look for a defensive game and a slower paced first half than oddsmakers anticipate. Play the First Half UNDER the total in this one.
