Iowa at Indiana picks and predictions

Prediction

Indiana 77, Iowa 75

Moneyline

Iowa is a lean, but not to a greater-than-1-chance-in-3 degree. PASS.

Against the spread

The Hawkeyes are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games after allowing 90-plus points in their previous game.

Two bad recent losses by Iowa — Feb. 19 at Northwestern and Feb. 22 at Wisconsin — are shading this number quite a bit. Iowa was just awful from 3-point range in both those games (combined 6 of 52) and still was pretty tight with the Badgers for most of the Feb. 22 game.

A bad Hawkeye defense has had some worse-than-bad nights in defending shots of late, and there could be some regression due in that respect. Indiana is a bit banged up injury-wise.

Consider a partial-unit play on IOWA +5.5 (-110).

Over/Under

This match-up does not figure to produce an overabundance of 3s or free throws or other score-spiral inputs like 2nd-chance points or transition buckets.

Iowa has often been slowed down from their normal top-50 pace when playing away from home.

BACK THE UNDER 154.5 (-105).

Michigan State at Iowa odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Michigan State at Iowa odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Michigan State Spartans (17-10, 9-7 Big Ten) and Iowa Hawkeyes (17-11, 9-8) meet Saturday at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City. Tip-off is scheduled for noon ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Michigan State vs. Iowa game odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Michigan State has won and covered 3 out of the past 4 games overall, although it is just 5-6 straight up (SU) across the past 11 outings. The Spartans are 3-5 against the spread (ATS) in the past 8 games, which includes a 63-61 win against Iowa as 2.5-point favorites in East Lansing back on Jan. 26.

Iowa has dropped its past 2 games, and the Hawkeyes are just 1-5 ATS across the past 6 games overall. The Under has hit in 3 of the previous 4 games overall for the Hawkeyes and has cashed in 5 of their past 6 against teams with an overall winning mark.

Michigan State at Iowa picks and predictions

Prediction

Michigan State 71, Iowa 68

Moneyline

MICHIGAN STATE (+200) is worth a roll of the dice on the moneyline, as it has been playing great basketball lately. An emotional win over Indiana, as well as victories over Ohio State and Maryland, have it positioned well for a run at an at-large bid for the NCAA Tournament if it can keep on winning.

Sparty proved it can take care of Iowa before, and the Hawkeyes have been on a slide lately. Look for Michigan State to pounce and take advantage.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

MICHIGAN STATE +5.5 (-105) is a solid pick if you can’t pull the trigger and bet it straight up.

The Hawkeyes are just 1-5 ATS in the past 6 games overall and 0-4 ATS in the past 4 against winning teams.

Look for Sparty to get their 18th win, and keep building momentum toward the postseason.

Over/Under

UNDER 145.5 (-110) is the lean in this Big Ten battle. Go with a half-unit play at most.

While the trends for both teams lately suggest an Over result, we saw a total of just 124 points scored between these teams in the first matchup in East Lansing back in late January.

In addition, the Under is 3-1 in the past 4 games overall for Iowa and 6-4 in the past 10 for Michigan State.

Iowa at Wisconsin odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Iowa at Wisconsin odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Iowa Hawkeyes (17-10, 9-7 Big Ten) will look to rebound against the Wisconsin Badgers (15-11, 7-9) in Madison Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET (Big Ten Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Iowa vs. Wisconsin odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

After being blown out 80-60 by Northwestern on Sunday as 2-point favorites, Iowa will look to get a much needed win against the Badgers, who lost a defensive battle against Rutgers on Saturday 58-57 as half-point underdogs.

Wisconsin beat Iowa 78-75 in overtime on Dec. 11 as 4-point road underdogs.

This will be a game of strength on strength. Iowa averages 80.3 points a game (21st in the nation) and is going against the 31st-ranked Wisconsin defense (63.2 PPG). Wisconsin will look to use its home-court advantage to slow down the game and secure a season sweep of Iowa.

Iowa at Northwestern picks and predictions

Prediction

Iowa 73, Wisconsin 67

Moneyline

IOWA -120.

If you want to be safe, -120 is not a bad play for Iowa rather then taking the Hawkeyes ATS at -1.5 (-105). The juice is not outrageous and the 1.5 points of safety might be worth the extra .15.

If you make a play here, do not double up on the spread.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

IOWA -1.5 (-105).

While taking Iowa ML is okay, I like Iowa to cover the 1.5-point spread and this is where my money will go.

The Badgers have gone 1-7-1 ATS in its last 9 home games and are 1-8-1 ATS in its last 10 games overall against a team with a winning percentage above .600.

This line is small enough where the favorite is the way to go. If you trust Iowa to win, you should also trust them to cover this small number.

Over/Under

OVER 139.5 (-110).

Iowa will need to solve the Wisconsin defense. While they were able to do so in the 78-75 loss in December, being in Madison could be a different story. Coming off a game where the Hawkeyes only managed 60 at Northwestern, expect Iowa to do everything it can to score in this game.

Wisconsin has gone Over in 6 of its last 7 Wednesday games and Iowa has gone Over in 7 of 9 on Wednesday. This will be a narrow escape. But with the game coming down to the end and both teams fouling to extend the action, the game will just barely get Over.

Ohio State at Iowa odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Ohio State at Iowa odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Ohio State Buckeyes (11-14, 3-11 Big Ten) visit the Iowa Hawkeyes (16-9, 8-6) on Thursday. Tip from Carver-Hawkeye Arena is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Ohio State at Iowa odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Ohio State fell to Michigan State 62-41 on Sunday, failing to cover as 4-point home favorites. The Buckeyes have struggled recently, going just 1-9 both outright and against the spread (ATS) in their last 10 games. The Buckeyes are just 8-17 ATS this season.

Iowa took down Minnesota 68-56 on the road Sunday but failed to cover as 12.5-point favorites. Iowa has now failed to cover the spread in 3 straight games. The Hawkeyes are 6-4 ATS in their last 10 games to improve to 14-11 ATS this season.

Iowa (-340) is too steep of a line, so focus on the spread and O/U below.

Against the spread

BET IOWA -7.5 (-105).

The Buckeyes have been treacherous against the spread recently. They are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss, 0-5 ATS following a straight up loss, 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Thursday games and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games against a team with a home winning percentage greater than .600.

The Buckeyes have also struggled on the road this season with a 1-7 away record while Iowa has played its best basketball on its home court with a 12-2 home record. Iowa is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 home games while Ohio State is 0-5 ATS in its last 5 road games.

Over/Under

BET OVER 152.5 (-115).

The Over is 13-12 in Ohio State’s games this season and 15-10 in Iowa’s matchups, showcasing both teams’ ability to score a lot of points.

The Over is 7-3 in Iowa’s last 10 games including 4-1 in its last 5 home games and 4-1 in its last 5 overall. The Over is also 4-0 in the Hawkeyes’ last 4 games following an outright win, 15-5-1 in their last 21 games against a team with a losing road record and 13-5-1 in their last 19 home games against a team with a road winning percentage less than .400.

The Hawkeyes are at a decent price to preserve their home floor. As mentioned, they’re 11-2 and home and home won 5 straight. Take IOWA (-135).

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

The last 6 games of this series have amounted to a 3-3 ATS split. The spread here is a fair one with the Hawkeyes at home where they are 22-for-45 (48.9%) on 3-pointers over their last 2 games.

PASS and stick to the ML.

Over/Under

The Under is 3-1 across the last 4 Illinois-Iowa games, and it’s 3-0-1 in the Illini’s last 4 games.

The pace in this one should be brisk, but both teams do well to prevent 3s and force more inefficient midrange jumpers. Illinois is especially stout in its all-around defense. Recent Illini games against top-50 foes have tilted toward the Under.

TAKE THE UNDER 153.5 (-110).

Rutgers at Iowa odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Rutgers at Iowa odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Rutgers Scarlet Knights (14-6, 6-3 Big Ten) meet the Iowa Hawkeyes (12-8, 4-5) in Iowa City Sunday at 2 p.m. ET (Big Ten Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Rutgers vs. Iowa odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

This will be a rematch of an Iowa 76-65 victory over Rutgers on Jan. 8. The Hawkeyes weres 5.5-point underdogs, but pulled off the 11-point victory on the road. With the Iowa offense still clicking, this game could turn into much of the same on the Hawkeyes’ home court.

Since the loss to Iowa, Rutgers has won 3 of 4 games including its last game, a 65-45 win over Penn State as 7-point favorites.

Since the win over Rutgers, Iowa is 2-4 and is on a 2-game losing streak, the most recent a 2-point loss 63-61 to Michigan State as 2.5-point underdogs.

Iowa’s offense ranked 21st in the nation at 80.7 points, but will need to solve an elite Rutgers defense that ranks 4th at just 57.0 points allowed to gain another victory. Iowa was able to solve this defense in Piscataway and will look to perform the feat again Sunday.

Rutgers at Iowa picks and predictions

Prediction

Iowa 71, Rutgers 68

Moneyline

PASS.

The value is on Rutgers in this game but the likelihood of the Scarlet Knights pulling off the upset is small. Iowa, on its home court, will put up enough points to win the game and although -190 is not overly inflated, it is slightly too high to make a straight wager on. It would be a nice addition to a parlay though.

Stream select live college basketball games and full replays: Get ESPN+

Against the spread

RUTGERS +4.5 (-120).

Despite losing by 11 points to Iowa at home, Rutgers has been the better team since. With 3 wins in 4 games, the Scarlet Knights are coming in after beating Penn State by 20 in their last game while Iowa is coming in after losing 2 straight games to Ohio State and Michigan State. I give Iowa the final advantage being at home. But Rutgers and its defense will keep the game slow and close, and 4.5 points is too much in this game. The underdog has covered the spread in 9 of the past 12 meetings in this series. I expect the same here.

Over/Under

UNDER 141.5 (-110).

Rutgers is 6-1 in its last 7 games to the Under on the road. It is also 4-1 to the Under in its last 5 games after a win and when covering the spread. The Rutgers defense will hold the Hawkeyes offense down just enough to get this game Under the total of 141.5. If this number drops below 140 by gametime, I would stay away. As long as it is above this number, I would take the Under.

Iowa at Michigan State picks and predictions

Prediction

Michigan State 79, Iowa 74

Moneyline

Take MICHIGAN STATE (-150) to secure a victory at home despite Iowa’s recent success. The Spartans are a solid 8-2 at home, while the Hawkeyes are 2-3 on the road this season.

Against the spread

Even though I’d prefer to get the Spartans moneyline at -150 or better, MICHIGAN STATE -2.5 (-115) is how I’d wager on the spread. Iowa doesn’t have a daunting defense and Michigan State has 3 capable scorers in G Tyson Walker, F Joey Hauser, and G A.J. Hoggard that should perform well.

The Hawkeyes are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games against a team with a winning record and in their last 7 road games overall. Meanwhile, the Spartans are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a loss and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games.

Over/Under

OVER 147.5 (-110) is the lean here in this Big Ten matchup. Iowa averages 81.7 points per game and it’s allowed 73.5 points per game this season.

The Hawkeyes have hit the Over in 5 of their last 6 games overall. This total has also been achieved in 5 of the previous 7 meetings between Iowa and Michigan State.

The Spartans have gone Under in each of their last 4 home games and they’ve gone Under in 4 of their last 5 against teams with a winning record.

The Iowa Hawkeyes (12-6, 4-3 Big Ten) and Ohio State Buckeyes (10-8, 2-5) meet Saturday at Value City Arena in Columbus. Tip-off is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET (FOX).
