Took Iowa +6.5 for the game.
SC should win and is the obvious favorite because they’re undefeated and have had 1 loss in the last 2 years. They have the revenge factor. They have had a very very close call in the SEC tournament and have been played tough for 2-3 quarters in the tournament.
SC had improved from outside the arc by bringing in Pow Pow from Oregon St, and Johnson has improved to be a respectable 3 point shooter. They have 4 players 6’3 or taller and should dominate the glass. Fulwiley and Pow Pow make them go.
Iowa has to stymie SC from the 3 and at limit turnovers. They’re going to lose the battle of the boards, so they have to limit possessions for SC.
Iowa is best when Clark gets 25 and Martin, Stuelke, Marshall and Affolter are in double digits.
If Iowa limits turnovers, survives on the glass, and gets all 5 players in double digits, they can pull the upset!
Go Hawks!
