Staff Prediction

This is one of the better matchups of the day for Sunday. While both teams are unraked, this is a BIG 10 clash between two teams off to hot starts to the season. Kris Murray has been one of the best forwards in the country this year, averaging a double-double, it will be hard for the Badgers to slow him down. Iowa's home court will be a huge difference in this one, take Iowa to win and the -4.5.

Staff Pick IOWA ATS (-4.5)
