I don't trust the Bruins enough to cover a seven-point spread, especially against a Hawkeyes team that shoots the lights out. Iowa ranks 3rd in the nation in effective field goal percentage, converting nearly 40 percent of its three-point attempts and almost 65 percent of its near-proximity field goals. The Bruins are a solid defensive team but rank 263rd in average opponent near-proximity percentage, per Haslametrics. It's not like they have been dominant defensively recently, either.

Heading into this matchup, the Bruins rank 339th in offensive momentum and 355th in defensive momentum, per Haslemetrics. They will face pressure from an Iowa defense that's top 25 in forced turnovers and 41st in potential quick points scored off breakaway steals. 

Bet on the Hawkeyes to steal a win or at least cover the spread on Friday at Pauley Pavilion!
