This is a tough situational spot for Iowa. The Hawkeyes just lost in Las Vegas to San Diego State, 83-73, and now fly across the country to New York. Iowa has dominated teams in the bottom half of KenPom's team rankings (SIU Edwardsville, Oral Roberts, North Florida, Cal Poly) but lost by double-digits to DePaul and San Diego State. Syracuse has a winning record but is hungry for a victory after two straight losses to Oklahoma State and Penn State. Syracuse is forcing turnovers on over 23 percent of its opponents' possessions. At 4-1 at home this season, back the home team to win the game. Play Syracuse on the moneyline.
