Iowa is coming into this game with a 15-7 record overall and they are 2-5 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. This will be their 12th conference matchup of the year and they are currently 5-6 in their conference games this season. They have lost 2 of their last 3 games but are coming into this one off of a win in their last game which snapped a 2 game losing streak that they were on. Their 2 losses in that span were against the Purdue Boilermakers and the Penn State Nittany Lions while their win came against the Minnesota Golden Gophers in their last game. Keegan Murray led the team in points in that game with 24 while Patrick McCaffery was next on the team with 18 points. Murray also led the team in assists in that game with 3 and he led the team in rebounds as well with 15. They were 44.6% from the field, 39.1% from 3-point range, and 44.4% from the free throw line with their shooting in that game. Their offense is averaging 82.2 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 70.5 PPG against them. Iowa has an ATS record of 9-14 this season and their O/U record is 15-6-1.

 

 

Maryland is coming into this game with an 11-12 record overall and they are 7-7 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. This will be the 13th conference matchup on their schedule this year and they are currently 3-9 in their conference games this season. Their last win was against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights but they have gone on a 3 game losing streak since then with losses coming against the Indiana Hoosiers, the Michigan State Spartans, and the Ohio State Buckeyes in their last game. Donta Scott led the team in points in that game with 25 while Daron Russell was next on the team with 12 points. Russell led the team in assists in that game with 5 while he and Scott both led the team in rebounds with 6 each. They were 39% from the field, 34.5% from 3-point range, and 68.8% from the free throw line with their shots in that game. Their offense is averaging 69.7 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 69.4 PPG against them. Maryland has an ATS record of 9-14 this season and their O/U record is 10-13.

 

Iowa has been struggling in their recent games but they are coming off of a win and will be looking to extend that into a streak after this game. Iowa has not been a good team on the road this season with a losing record and they have even struggled in their conference games as well. Maryland has not been any better though as they are one of the worst teams in the Big Ten and they only have a 7-7 record at home this season. They have lost 3 straight games but they have had to face 2 ranked teams in that span and they have actually played well against ranked opponents at home recently. They only lost by 2 points to Michigan State and they even pulled off an upset against Illinois at home in one of their games. Maryland has not been as awful as all of their losses suggest and they should put up a good fight in this game. Iowa is still a better team but they have had their struggles recently and Maryland has a good chance to keep this game close at home and even win it.

“I know he’s been calling pretty much every player individually throughout the week. (Maybe) he's just bored or something. He’s watching film with (assistant coach Sherman Dillard) over Zoom. It’s a miracle those two were able to get that to happen.” - Patrick McCaffery on his coaches efforts to still help the team despite being out the last few games with covid-19.

 

 

“[Ohio State] gets very comfortable. They shot too high of a percentage in the first half, and they played really well at home. We have to be a lot more disruptive to their offensive flow.” - Danny Manning on his team’s loss against OSU.
