I don't see this being close. I'm sorry Iona. They are a good offense but not as good as big 12 offenses. Even Texas tech had a better offense than them. Plus they are one of the worse defensive teams in the tourney only beating the 16 and 15 seeds.

I don't get all the 2 point win predictions. What happened last year has absolutely nothing to do with this year. Iona played 3 power conference schools last year and was soundly beaten by all of them. Tulsa had Iona down 24 before a big rally. Wallace had 12, 20 (4 for 17), in two of those games. He did go off against Tulsa for 31, so he is capable of scoring a lot of points, but with a week to prepare the coaching staff should be able to put together a defensive plan to stop him. Unlike Iona, ISU has several guys that can and have gone off for 20+ points in a game. Slow down Wallace and Washington and this game is a laugher. 87-68.

I predict I won't predict beyond the Vegas ISU -7. I'll leave the rest up to the coaches who know far more than me or anyone on here.

I've watched Iona a bit and don't think they can match up well enough from position to position. ISU's top 6 players are too talented for Iona to find an answer on defense. I think ISU controls the game from the start.

ISU 86, Iona 68
