SWEET 16- 3-PACK
(NCAAB) Illinois vs. Iowa State,
Money Line: -122.00 Iowa State (Home)
Result: Loss
Iowa State finished the season playing the best defense in the country and now will face one of the best offenses in the country in Illinois. Iowa State has not allowed a team to score above 65 in their last 10 games and their opponents have averaged just 57 points. On the offensive end, The Iowa State guards should be able to get shots off from deep against the Illinois defense. This is a stacked region with UCONN as the top seed. Illinois has a dynamic one-two punch with Shannon and Domask. The Illini are shooting 56% in the tournament and 40% from three-point range but have not faced a defense like Iowa State. Iowa State's offense is not as strong but there have been many games this season that Illinois has decided not to play defense. This should be a close game but until Brad Underwood shows me he can win a big game I have to go against him.
