GAME OF THE WEEK
5 UNIT* CBB* Iowa Hawkeyes -2
Iowa -2 over Wake Forest:
3 of 4 Winning CBB Days (3-0 with 5* Gotw this year)
Iowa is a solid team and I think that will show today. I have Iowa as a top 100 team in my power rankings and I have Wake as a top 200 team. Yes, WakeForest as a top 200 team. I am sure that Wake will rise in the coming weeks as they are a capable team, but right now this team has not "gelled" to its capacity yet. For example, Iowa has defeated and faced the likes of Alabama and fell short to Xavier by 13 who is a top 50 team and has faced other decent teams such as Long BeachState and South DakotaState who are all top 150 teams. Wake is outside this margin. Whereas Iowa has faced four teams in the top 150, and one in the top 50, Wake has faced just one top 50 team in VCU who they lost to by 21 at home. In fact, Wake's 3 wins come against teams that are outside the top 100 and in fact, are outside the top 200 (Hampton, Elon and Marist). I'm sure that Wake will eventually bring this young team together, but right now, Iowa is the more experienced and fluid team and I can see the Hawkeyes getting up to play the ACC team here. I believe the spread is placed the way it is as the public is likely on the wrong side in this game and Iowa wins this game on the road. I like Iowa's SOS thus far here and Wake has yet to defeat a top 200 team nevertheless a top 100 team, and I believe Iowa likely gets the road win here.[/QUOTE]
