Iowa has been playing very well coming into this game. They have won their last 2 games but they have also won 7 of their last 8 games and have been winning their games by double digits as well. They have already won their 2 games in this tournament by double digits and now they are getting an even weaker opponent than the one they just faced. They are going up against an Indiana team that struggled at the end of the season losing their last 2 games of the season but they have won their 2 games in this tournament but in very close games. They have come very far as underdogs in both of their games but this will be where the line ends for them. Iowa has been on a tear recently not just winning games by double digits but scoring a lot of points as well. Iowa has been shooting very well in their games as well and they will be too much for Indiana to handle here. Iowa will continue to heat up in their games with another win by double digits here.
