9:00 p.m. ET: Iowa Hawkeyes (11-3) at Wisconsin Badgers (11-2)
Spread: Wisconsin -3
Total: 147
The #23 Wisconsin Badgers present a tough challenge for Iowa. Iowa has lost both of its games against ranked teams this season. Wisconsin is coming off a 74-69 win at Purdue in its most recent game. Wisconsin’s Johnny Davis has averaged 18.8 points and 6.2 rebounds while Brad Davison has put up 14.5 points and 4.2 rebounds. For the Hawkeyes, Keegan Murray has averaged 22.8 points and 7.6 rebounds while Patrick McCaffery has put up 9.6 points. Iowa has the better offense but on the road, they have not been scoring as much. The Badgers will also look to exploit an Iowa team that is 228th in defensive rebound rate, allowing opponents to pull in a rebound on 27.9% of their missed shots. Wisconsin’s Davis has scored at least 20 points in 8 of the last 9 games and will be tough for Iowa to stop. If this game was being played anywhere other than Wisconsin, Iowa would most likely be the play but on their home floor, you can expect Wisconsin to get a big win here.
