Ohio State-Iowa OVER 134
Ohio st are actually the slower-paced team in this one, but there will be running here. Iowa has the faster tempo and I don't think Fran McCaffery will slow it down in an effort to win this game as he knows he doesn't have a chance. He's the man in Iowa City with a plan, and that is to build a press and run team and the Bucks will love to play that style. The Hawks are a team that loved to shoot the 3pt shot even before McCaffery arrived, and they should see plenty. I think Ohio State will treat this game as a fun one as they will be running all day and working it into Jared Sullinger who Iowa has no answer for on defense. The number is pretty accurate, but I honestly don't think Iowa is going to try to win this game and instead they're going to run. Thad Matta will let his guys run and shoot, and their defense will make it tough on Iowa until they have a huge lead. Instead of playing the Bucks I'll play the total because I think it's too low with Iowa's new style of play.
Take the over
