No. 11 Iowa has rebounded from losing to Indiana earlier this month by winning three straight games and will attempt to win a fourth straight contest against Penn State on Sunday in a Big Ten matchup. Penn State is coming off a loss to No. 4 Ohio State and is looking to end its three-game losing streak.
Iowa (16-6, 10-5) has won by double-digits in every game since its last loss. The Hawkeyes have been powered by star center Luke Garza, who leads the nation in scoring with 24.7 points per game. The big man tallied at least 30 points for the seventh time this season in his last game.
Penn State (7-11, 4-10) fell to Ohio State for the second time this season in its last game and lost by 10 points. Two of the Nittany Lions’ top scorers reached double-digits in points in that contest, and they’ll have to show up again on Saturday. Junior guard Myreon Jones is Penn State’s leading scorer and has scored at least 15 points in three straight games. His performance will play a big part in how the game ends.

The Best Bet
Iowa has lost to unranked Big Ten teams like Indiana but has been blowing teams away since its last loss. The Hawkeyes’ 15-point win over No. 21 Wisconsin that followed their 30-point win on the road against Michigan State made it clear that they mean business ahead of March. I think Iowa will get the job done back on its home court to wrap up the weekend.
Pick: Iowa -11
