I like Northwestern to cover this game as it is a revenge game for Northwestern who lost 67-93 on the road against Iowa earlier in the season. Iowa has been a completely different team on the road this year losing 3 of 4 and Northwestern will play much better than they did in the first game where they allowed Iowa to shoot 57% from the 3. There is not that big of a difference between these two teams.

The biggest reason why I like this play is Northwestern's ability to defend inside the 3 which is where Iowa will take 78% of their shots on average in road games, because they are only shooting 27.8% from three on the road. Northwestern just so happens to defend the 2 point game very well ranked 53rd in the country. In the first match up they did not defend well and they will make the necessary adjustments as they are averaging 7.6% better on 2 point defense at home than they are on the road.
