Penn State had lost four straight before beating Rutgers 80-72 on Monday. Now the Nittany Lions travel to Iowa to face the Hawkeyes, who will try to snap a three-game skid. The Hawkeyes have won 10 of 12 home games, while the Nittany Lions have lost three of four road contests. Iowa is shooting 50.5 percent from the field, and 38.7 percent on 3-point tries. Penn State has lost its past two conference road games by an average of 22 points to Illinois and Michigan State. Iowa won its first two Big Ten games easily over Nebraska and Indiana before going on a tough West Coast trip and losing against USC and UCLA. Penn State is 1-16 in its past 17 road games against the Hawkeyes. Take Iowa on the moneyline.
