Iowa is 13-3 on the season, 4-0 in the Big Ten, 8-0 at home and 8-5 against the spread. Michigan is 13-4 on the season, 3-1 in the Big Ten, 2-2 on the road and 10-5 against the spread. Iowa has won and covered the spread in its last two meetings with Michigan while the two have hit the over in five of their last seven encounters.
Iowa has beaten Michigan State twice to remain undefeated in Big 10 play. Their 17-point win over Michigan State on Thursday was their first from East Lansing since 1993. Iowa has won the last two meetings with Michigan at home by an average margin of 17 points. Michigan upset Maryland at home without Caris LeVert. He's questionable for this game with a lower leg injury. But Iowa has too much size and balance for the Wolverines, who rely on the three-point shot. But they are better at home (42.8% 3point) than on the road (35.5 3-point).
