Game: Iowa vs Ohio St
Line: Ohio St - 3.5
Angles/Summary:
The Iowa Hawkeyes are on an emotional high after beating Wisconsin and Indiana on last second shots by Luke Recker. Today they face an Ohio St team that has already beaten them twice this year. Iowa lost in January 72-62 as a 1 1/2-point road 'dog, and at home in February, 72-66 as a two-point underdog. Iowa is 9-19-1 ATS overall and 6-16 ATS vs winning teams this year. Ohio St has a 17-8-1 ATS record this year and seem to perform well against 3 point shooting teams as indicated by their 6-1 ATS record.
Although a win today would guarantee the Hawkeyes a spot in next week's NCAA tournament, we expect an emotional letdown by them this afternoon. Iowa has also played 4 games in as many days and fatigue factor should come into play in the second half of this game.
Favorable Trends:
Ohio St:
17-8-1 ATS record this year
7-1 ATS after allowing 85 points or more since 1997.
5-1 ATS after playing a game where both teams score 80 points or more since 1997.
