1-10-20 NCAAB Minnesota at Iowa

Today, Iowa gets another crack at the Minnesota Golden Gophers after losing to them on the road 102-95. Minnesota is 10-3 and all 3 of those losses have come on the road. In fact, they haven't won a road game this year. In those road games, they are losing by an average of 21 points per-contest. They've faced 4 top 10 ranked teams, and are 1-3 in those games losing by an average of 14 points per game. That one win was against, you guessed it, the Iowa Hawkeyes. Iowa is 10-2 and is absolutely destroying teams at home. In this last 6 game home stand, they have beaten teams by an average of 32 points per game. Iowa is one of the strongest first-half home teams in all of college basketball, winning by an average of 16 points per-game in the first-half, while Minnesota is being outscored by 8 on the road. 

I think this is an absolute smash-spot for Iowa. And not only because of those numbers, but add to that the revenge angle. I can't see Minnesota competing here, especially since they are coming into this one on a 6-game win streak.
