Iowa is a 1 pt favorite to a ranked team

[storminspank]

I posted this on Twitter yesterday... when was the last time Iowa was the favorite over a ranked team?

I honestly don't know. Maybe 2006?

Have the info?

Now 1pt dog, but still good question.

In fairness though, isn't Minny a lock for dropping out of the rankings win or lose? Don't get me wrong, I'll take it!

Ah, you're right.

It opened at even, last night it moved to Iowa 1 pt favorite.
Now it's the other way. Crap. I really didn't want to take that part out of my article... might still keep it in there.

Thanks.

still though. 1 pt favorite or 1 pt dog, that's not a lot of respect for Minnie Mouse.

when's the chat start?

5 PM start on the chat.

Two teams in opposite directions. Minny losing 4 in a row. Iowa winners of 2 of 3 with the one loss by 3 to a Top 10 team that just beat the #1 team in the nation.

I understand the line.

Why fixated on the line I want a W. I could give 2 rips what Vegas says. You guys are focused on the wrong stuff. If we lose today it's just another close bag o crap.

We're not playing, seepig...we can focus on ANYTHING! And none of us wants another bag-o-crap!

still though, aren't we considered the worst team in the conference by outsiders? or did we pass up indiana?

I dont think anyone is focused on that, but it means that Iowa is getting respect from SOMEONE to be favorited in a game vs a ranked team. That's a fact.

It has more to do with Minny losing 4 in a row. Hoffarber being beaten up. Their PG quitting, etc. Minnesota is a team that isn't going to the tourney and if they don't right this sinking ship might not be in the NIT either.

Why not? Turnabout is fair play.
