Wisconsin vs. Iowa Predictions
Iowa is 13-2 at home this season but only 3-6 on the road. The Hawkeyes play fast and score in bunches. The Badgers play slow and focus on defense. Wisconsin won the first meeting on Dec. 11, defeating the Hawkeyes 78-75 in Iowa City. However, the Badgers haven’t retained that form lately, losing two of their last three games while falling to a 7-9 record in conference play.
Iowa is 1-3 to the over as a road favorite. Wisconsin is 1-2 to the over as a home underdog. There’s a good chance the Badgers will throw the Hawkeyes off their jump-shooting rhythm while playing tough defense in front of an energized home crowd. Wisconsin should be able to execute its gameplan and slow down the pace to a crawl. If that happens, then this game will fall under the total of 139.5 points.
