I like Iowa. This team will love not having to play anymore big ten teams. Tennessee is trash. Jordan McRae kills them out of games

a team who got hot at the end of the season vs a team who exposed their true selves... Tennessee defense is absolutely ferocious. a team like iowa may not be able to handle it. tennessee will control the glass. if they can contain marble, they cruise.

Is that the guy who threw up he 3 pointer at the end of the Florida game that gave Florida the free throws to cover the spread? If so, I agree, the guy is an idiot.

I see Tenn. winning, Iowa should shrink against the physicality. Interesting to see how this one will be called by the refs.

You need to watch tennessee better. Stokes is really good and Maybin is good when he can hold onto the ball but their biggest weaknesses is that they need mcrae and barton to get them the ball. Barton is a shell of himself that he was when he was at memphis and mcrae will not share the ball at the end of close games. All Iowa has to do is keep it close and tennessee will kill themselves on there own. Also look at the line, iowa has been in the tank and everyone just saw tennessee hang with florida till they had a meltdown but yet line is -1.5. Shouldnt it be more like -3 if the faith was in the volunteers? I will say this though if Tennessee had better guards this would be an incredibly scary team to play

I will take a more athletic, physical team that prides themselves on defense, who has peaked at the end of the season (the right time) against a team with one top talent and a bunch of mediocre guys, who was overrated midway through the season and sputtered out at the end of the season any day.

moneyline looks good, dont care to lay points here.
