Top 3 Player Props
Player Prop #1: Payton Sandfort / Over Points / 18.5 at -115 / 78% / Sandfort’s 20.2 PPG average against weak defenses like Chicago State’s (allowing 82+ PPG) and high usage rate (28%) in home games support clearing this line, with Iowa’s efficient offense boosting scoring opportunities.
Player Prop #2: Owen Freeman / Over Rebounds / 9.5 at -110 / 72% / Freeman grabs 10.1 RPG at home, exploiting Chicago State’s poor defensive rebounding (45% rate); matchup favors double-digit boards given Iowa’s paint dominance.
Player Prop #3: Chicago State Team Total / Under Points / 62.5 at -105 / 75% / Chicago State’s offense ranks bottom-10 in efficiency (KenPom 0.82), facing Iowa’s top-30 defense (adj D 95.2); recent games show them held under 65 in 4 of last 5 road tilts.
⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public sentiment heavily favors Iowa, aligning with sharp money and market lines, making a follow on the favorite optimal rather than a fade. Iowa’s offensive firepower (adj O 118.4) against Chicago State’s porous defense points to a high-scoring affair for the home team, though the visitors’ inefficiency caps their output. Overall game outlook leans toward a lopsided, moderately paced contest exceeding the total based on tempo and efficiency differentials.
