Wisconsin vs. Iowa: Three things to know

1. The Badgers recovered from a 3-game losing streak by eking out a 75-74 win over Penn State as 5.5-point favorites in the first round of the Big 10 tourney. One of those losses was to the Hawkeyes, 77-73, but Wisconsin covered as 7.5-point underdogs.
2. Aside from a 22-point blistering at Michigan Feb. 25, Iowa has won the other seven of its past eight games and are 5-3 ATS in those games.
3. The Hawkeyes have won three straight over the Badgers, but Wisconsin is 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings with Iowa.

Wisconsin vs. Iowa: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Wisconsin 71, Iowa 68

Money line (ML)

Lean on WISCONSIN (+155) because I like the Badgers plus points, and if it weren’t for garbage officiating at the end of their previous game against the Hawkeyes, Wisconsin would’ve upset them.

Also, Iowa’s best 3-point shooter SF Joe Wieskamp is doubtful to play in this game after spraining his ankle in the game with Wisconsin.

The Hawkeyes led by as many as 11 points before Wieskamp went down and he scored 12 points on 5-of-5 shooting with two made threes in 12 minutes.

Wieskamp is Iowa’s 2nd-leading scorer and 2nd on the team in win shares and the line is not accounting enough for his absence because Wooden Award finalist C Luka Garza is still in the lineup and the Hawkeyes are having a great season.

Against the spread (ATS)

Definitely BET WISCONSIN +4.5 (-110) instead of the money line.

The Badgers have the size to make Garza work and the absence of Wieskamp reduces Iowa’s 3-point edge making it easier for a pretty good Wisconsin 3-point defense.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 142.5 (-110). The Under has cashed in six of the previous eight Wisconsin-Iowa games and the market has accounted for Iowa’s scoring prowess hence its 14-13 O/U record.

Furthermore, according to Pregame.com, 80% of the money is on the Over but the total has been moved down from a 145.5-point opener, which tells me the House knows the Under is the right side.

Wisconsin at Iowa: Three things to know

1. The Hawkeyes are looking to stay on a late-season roll that has seen them win six of their last seven games. Iowa is looking to solidify a No. 3 seed — and the double-bye that goes with it — in next week’s Big Ten tournament in Indianapolis. The Hawkeyes are the circuit’s top-scoring team by nearly a 5-point margin: UI is averaging 85.3 points per game.
2. The Badgers were a 12-3 team ranked 10th in the nation back on Jan. 20. Since then, Wisconsin is a mere 4-7 in 11 games. Over that stretch, UW has shot a paltry 38.8% from the floor. For the season, the Badgers are shooting just 46.5% on 2-point attempts and that ranks 283rd in the country.
3. Iowa beat Wisconsin 77-62 Feb. 18 in Madison, Wisc. The Hawkeyes outshot the Badgers 51% to 30% in that contest. The victory as a 1.5-point underdog marked the program’s first ATS win over Wisconsin since Jan. 23, 2018. Since 2014, the Badgers are 6-3-1 ATS against the Hawkeyes.

Wisconsin at Iowa: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Iowa 75, Wisconsin 67

Money line (ML)

Iowa’s offense is certainly deserving of much credit, but the Hawkeyes defense has been solid of late as well. In its last eight games, UI has held foes under a 45% effective field-goal mark five times. That stretch includes holding Wisconsin to a 39.3% figure Feb. 18.

The Hawkeyes are a likable 75% proposition in this key, down-the-stretch home game. PASS on this tag, but the line has moved toward the Badgers Sunday morning. Iowa at -275 or better would be worth a look.

Against the spread (ATS)

The Badgers are 0-6 ATS against teams playing at least .600 ball. The Hawkeyes are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 Sunday games.

The Iowa advantage from beyond the arc, the free-throw line, and in rebounding makes for value for IOWA -7.5 (-105).

Over/Under (O/U)

The Under is 4-2 in UW’s last six games and 7-1 in UI’s last eight. The public doesn’t seem to be on to Iowa’s improved defense.

BACK THE UNDER 144.5 (-110).
