The current betting odds have Iowa listed as a 14 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Iowa has looked really good in their games this season but they just took their 1st loss of the year against TCU and they have a bad taste left in their mouth from it. They have been crushing bad teams in a lot of games this season but in their last 2 games they have struggled and they will be eager to bounce back on their home court here. GA Tech hasn't had a great start to their season but it hasn't been terrible either. They have been getting some nice wins and only have 2 losses but their last loss was against a good team in Marquette and they got crushed by over 20 points in that game when they weren't playing at home. Now they will be on the road here in a hostile environment and Iowa has a very good team that can make this game get out of hand very quickly. The best way to place a bet here is on Iowa to cover the spread in this game and bounce back from their last loss in a big way here on their home court.

"Defensively, our defense is ahead of our offense and you know the thing is with the points per possession offensively is we're not like turning it over a lot, considering the amount of possessions, 11 is not bad and you obviously want to have less than that, but in that range. Because they came in averaging teams less than 15 turnovers per game, but we have to be better offensively. Now, we had some great looks today that we missed so we just have to continue to keep cleaning some things up and we will continue to get better and that is an area where we can continue to get better to make sure we are better in what we need to do on that." - Josh Pastner on improving his team’s points per possession after their game against Northern Illinois.

 

 

“Collectively, they were real physical with their defense. It affected us throughout the course of the game. Also, we started quick-shooting the ball.” - Fran McCaffery after his team’s loss against the TCU Horned Frogs in their last game.
