Iowa at Indiana

No. 17 Indiana has bigger fish to worry about than Iowa, with No. 22 Michigan on deck. This is a sandwich game for the Hoosiers, after playing No. 25 Wisconsin. Iowa has played hard this season for Fran McCaffrey and they are better than last season when they relied solely on Matt Gatens. Gatens has much more help this season and guard Bryce Cartwright is taking almost twice as fewer shots this season (6.6) than a year ago (11) as he is focusing on distributing the basketball, which he is better at than shooting. This is a big game for Iowa as they are 3-5 in the Big 10 and after this they play four straight against teams not in the Top 25. The Hawkeyes are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games against a team with a winning percentage above .600 and 17-8 ATS in their last 25 games following an ATS loss. Indiana is stumbling, on a 2-5 ATS run while losing 4-of-5 games following that 15-1 start. The Hoosiers are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 against the Big Ten. The Hawkeyes are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings, 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings at Indiana, and the underdog is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings between these conference foes. Play on Iowa.
