The Hawkeyes own a 7-2 advantage in the all-time series between the schools. In the lone meeting between the teams last season, Iowa came away with an 85-80 win at home. Rutgers is a good team but lacks the depth that Iowa has and if Harper Jr. can't go, that will be an even bigger problem. Iowa will use their deep rotation and with Garza on the inside, that combination will be too much for Rutgers.
Play on Iowa.
