Here's my take...isu will win if they hit their 3s and rebound relatively well (which they have done despite being undersized, however iowa is a long team)
iowa will win if they make 8 or more 3s or their taller players can cause a large rebounding disparity
Hilton can get a rockin', but iowa has played there several times over the years...i do still think it's an advantage, but maybe not quite is much in this rivalry matchup...
i'm not touching it as a bet, but i expect a close game
