Northern Illinois has a winning record and plays excellent defense, off a 69-63 victory over Illinois-Chicago, holding the Flames to 3-of-20 shooting beyond the arc. Northern Illinois is 36-17 UNDER the total in non-conference games. Iowa has stepped up defensively, winning four in a row allowing 60, 64, 64 and 73 points. The offense has been turnover prone and they won the last game despite 19 turnovers while hitting a season-low three three-pointers. Iowa has won seven in a row against Northern Illinois, including a 70-49 decision when they last met that sailed UNDER, and this total is too high. Back the UNDER in this one.
