tOSU -11.5 at Iowa (ov/un 141.5) Sat 3 ET, BTN

[BB73]

Iowa did manage to win at the Kohl Center, so they could make it a battle in Iowa City.

I'll try to set the lines Friday.

No, they won't. Wisconsin is highly overrated this year.

 

[buckeyesin07]

I'm guessing the line will be around 18.5.

I'm guessing the line will be around 18.5.

I think that's a little high considering they recently beat Wisconsin (though they aren't as good as many think they are, except Bucky32) and this game is in Iowa City. I'll go with 13.5.

It's a road game, so I think a double-digit spread is out of the picture - or at least it ought to be. OSU -8.5 sounds about right to me.

Seems low. Bucks by 22.

Game Preview

By Bob Baptist

? Matchup to watch: Iowa is 6-3 since promoting 6-foot-6 Roy Devyn Marble to the starting point guard position. His ability to drive gets him to the free-throw line often, and he has nearly a 4-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio. Aaron Craft will give up inches and must be wary of foul trouble at a road venue.

? Notable: This is the only regular-season game between the teams. The Hawkeyes do not play in Columbus this season. ? Ohio State has won six games in a row against Iowa, including the past three in Iowa City by a total of 16 points. ? Jared Sullinger had 50 points and 21 rebounds in two games against Iowa last season. ? Iowa?s two Big Ten wins were on the road, at Wisconsin and Minnesota. The Hawkeyes lost their conference opener at home to Purdue.

The prop bets are getting a little bit tougher. I thought the bank would be nicer to the BP who have a little vcash. Not all of us are trillionaire's

I don't know the names of any players on the Iowa roster.

I have not watched them play a single minute of basketball this year.

I am 100% confident in my prediction that someone on that team is going to have a career game today. He'll most likely have averaged about 3.3 PPG up to this point in his career, probably a 6th man, he will take about 14 three pointers and may miss as many as 2. It's also highly likely he's goofy looking as hell.

while I agree with the above, there if anybody is going to go off on us, it probably will be Matt Gatens .

If Craft and Sully are themselves..15 pt win..

 

[Bill Lucas]

I hate these games at Iowa. They're always much, much tougher than they should be. Freaking 6th man averaging 3.3 making 12-14 threes and crap like that.

 

[Bestbuck36]

Bad offensive spacing early on but Sully being Sully.
