Iowa vs Ole Miss Prediction
I’ll just stay with Iowa. The Hawkeyes beat up on a winless Chicago State team in their latest outing and got some minutes for a lot of different players on the roster. Iowa shot a nice 56.9 percent in that one with a 35-20 rebounding edge, 26 team assists and just six turnovers. The Hawkeyes hit 15-of-19 (78.9 percent) from the line and had a 42-24 advantage on points in the paint. That gives Iowa 77 or more points in all five games so far, and they’ve held opponents below 71 points in each of those outings as well.
As for Ole Miss, they slowed down a bit in the second half versus Austin Peay and ended up getting outmuscled on the boards 39-34 (16-10 offensive). The Rebels held the Govs to just 35.7 percent shooting on defense, though. Ole Miss has 72 or more points in all five games so far, with 82 or more in four of those. We could have a very big total in this one.
