This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the UNDER Ducks/Hawkeyes.

The Ducks advanced here after VCU was forced to resign because of COVID protocols. How will this effect Oregon's team chemistry?

We expect the weird situation to prove detrimental to Oregon's rythym.

The Hawkeyes advanced by beating Grand Canyon 86-74.

But putting up 86 points against the Antelopes is one thing, and doing it against a Ducks team which concedes only 67.4 and comes from the much more difficult Pac 12 conference, is quite another obviously.

These offenses are good from an efficiency stand-point, but neither can be classified as "explosive."

Note as well that Iowa has seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 neutral site affairs after scoring 80 or more points in a SU victory in its last outing.

I expect a hard-fought battle until the end, but one which ultimatley falls UNDER once the final buzzer sounds.

Good luck, NP
