Iowa has home court for this annual Big 10-Big 12 state rivalry. Iowa State had an impressive 70-65 win over No. 1 North Carolina, though they also flopped in a 71-53 loss to UConn on a neutral court in Portland, Oregon. Iowa State is not a strong rebounding team and UConn killed them on the glass, 48-19, including 21-7 on the offensive boards. Iowa has a terrific frontcourt in 6-8 junior Kris Murray (19.4 ppg, 10.1 rpg) and 6-9 junior Patrick McCaffery (12.8 ppg, 4.1 rpg). Iowa has won all four of its home games and has won four of the last six meetings against the Cyclones, including three straight at home inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena. The last meeting here was a 105-77 Iowa rout and the wagering value is on the home team to win the game. Play Iowa on the moneyline.
