Analysis
I love the Iowa Hawkeyes in this spot, as it's a cheap number to play when you boast the best player on the court. Senior guard Bennett Stirtz is capable of taking over this game for the Hawkeyes. He is an overly talented two-way player who can defend, shoot the rock and has plenty of experience in close games against elite opponents. No, the Tigers won’t go away easily, but this isn't a threatening Clemson team that can last all 40 minutes against a relentless team like the Hawkeyes. I'm also going to point out that Big Ten teams went 8-0 ATS in last year’s first round. They were 3-3 on Thursday, and I expect the Hawkeyes to add to the winning column.
