I used 4 * because this was supposed to be "the game" for the Big Ten.
First of all I want to state that I have officially joined the rest of you degenerates by funding an online sports book account and making my first legal bet.
The Iowa Hawkeyes opened as a 1 point dog with an O/U of 165.5. The O/U has since moved to 166.5.

Both teams should be well rested; each, with the weekend cancelations, not having played in more than a week. The possibility of Fredrick not playing is a big deal. We saw what happened last week against Indiana and last year when he was out. Unless we find a way to replace Fredrick on the floor (offensively and defensively) or Connor becomes a prolific 3 point shooter I think we are going to have a long night. Hell, but what do I know. GO HAWKS!
