Iowa vs. Indiana Prediction
Winning on the road in the Big Ten is a tall task, but Indiana seems up to the challenge. The Hoosiers have quality wins over North Carolina and Xavier this season, and they have what it takes to outlast Iowa on the road.
Speaking of the Hawkeyes, their recent form has taken a hit. Iowa has lost three straight games against teams that they should’ve beaten. The Hawkeyes fell to Eastern Illinois, Nebraska, and Penn State. Eastern IL is ranked 344th in the KenPom Rankings, so that’s a bad loss on Iowa’s home court. There’s clearly something “off” with the Hawkeyes at the moment. While their home fans will give them plenty of support against a ranked opponent, it feels like Indiana is the better team getting points.
