Illinois stands as another team that I believe is significantly underrated. As they approach the regular-season finale, they hold the 4th position in adjusted offensive efficiency and rank within the top 100 in adjusted defensive efficiency. I anticipate a commanding performance from them against Iowa, a team that has struggled defensively throughout the season.
The Hawkeyes find themselves outside the bottom 200 in effective field-goal percentage and opponent 3-point percentage. Although Iowa's offensive capabilities are noteworthy, Illinois appears well-equipped to counter their proficiency in 3-point shooting, given that they allow only 6.1 three-pointers per game, placing them 40th in the nation.
My analysis indicates that Illinois will emerge victorious against Iowa in what promises to be a closely contested match, with a margin of victory likely falling within the range of 2-3 points this evening.
Pick: Illinois ML (-120)
🍀Best of luck!
