Their field goal % is 87th, and their 3-point field goal percentage is 176th. When it comes to ball protection, Iowa ranks 14th in the nation. But Iowa had trouble playing defense.

Rutgers Scarlet Knights vs Iowa Hawkeyes. The NCAAB pick for this game is the Iowa Hawkeyes. For an Iowa team that is edging away from being considered “on the bubble” for the NCAA Tournament, this is a must-win situation.

 

The Hawkeyes have 12 victories so far this year and still need additional noteworthy victories to add to their record.

 

The Hawkeyes have a strong rebounding squad that can compete with a Rutgers team that is strong on the boards, and they are 9-2 at home this year.

 

With its perimeter shooting and subsequent offensive rebounding, Iowa must weaken the Rutgers defense in order to create second-chance points.

 

Additionally, Iowa improved its ball security this year over Rutgers, so the Hawkeyes won’t turn the ball over. The Iowa Hawkeyes will win to a predicted score of 75-70.
