Iowa vs Oregon Prediction 

Iowa comes into this matchup on a three game winning streak, but they barely got by USC and Rutgers in their last two. The Hawkeyes are shooting 50% from the field and they have allowed 62 or fewer in two of their last three games. Oregon is just 1-9 in Big Ten play and they have scored fewer than 60 points in four of their last five. The Ducks continue to deal with injuries and their offense is very low scoring, so I will take Iowa on the road here.
