Top Cappers News
This line has grown for a reason—oddsmakers wouldn’t be giving Iowa 12.5 points unless they saw a serious mismatch. The biggest issue for the Hawkeyes in this game will be in the paint, as they recently lost Owen Freeman for the season. Freeman was their top scorer and rebounder, leaving Iowa with a major void in the frontcourt. They’ve tried to plug the gap with Ladji Dembele, but he’s averaging just 3.8 points per game—nowhere near Freeman’s 16.7 PPG production.
Losing a key piece inside couldn’t come at a worse time for Iowa, as they now have to deal with Maryland’s dominant interior presence. The Terrapins boast two of the conference’s top post players in Derik Queen and Julian Reese, both of whom should have no trouble controlling the paint. On top of that, Maryland’s offense ranks 18th nationally, while Iowa’s defense sits outside the top 130. This sets up a lopsided battle, and despite the large spread, backing Maryland to cover looks like the right call. Take Maryland ATS
