So Vegas considers Iowa the better team on a neutral court...I would expect they even get a bonus point or two for being in Ames since they have "hilton magic"
I say if ISU wins, it will be by 5 or more. Wouldn't take Iowa with only 2.5 at Hilton. Just FYI, current Vegas odds to win the NCAA championship have Iowa at 40/1 and ISU at 100/1. Found that a bit interesting. Go Hawks!

When I bet on the Hawks in September they were 60-1.

I would read it as Vegas (bettors, actually) do believe in Hilton Magic, otherwise the NCAA championship odds for the two teams would not vary so greatly.
Wow..
Iowa State opens as a 2.5 point favorite over Iowa
Clone fans are even dumber than I thought LOL, they come up with about 10 different terrible reasons for why the spread is lower than they expected, there is so much stupidity in that thread.

I read that whole thing and lost at least 60 IQ points, so if you begin seeing a lot of mistakes from me, I am sorry, my ISU IQ is kicking in.

I don't have an account over there, but someone should ask them why so many people have avatars of the Wayans brothers.

This is a huge game for Iowa, and they need it badly since there is a good chance they will be a bubble team. Winning at Hilton would be a huge notch on their belt.

Ouch, right in the IQ.

For Iowa they must put pressure on ISU bringing the ball up the court. Don't give them time to run their 3 point offensive sets. They must defend the 3 and keep ISU off the offensive glass. On offense Iowa needs to drive the lane and put pressure on ISU to defend. IF ISU gets in foul trouble they really can't go beyond 7 deep. Iowa has to stay close and wear ISU down in the final four minutes.

When I was in Vegas in early November, I put $25 down on Iowa at 50-1.
GO HAWKS!!!

Iowa does not need the win badly. Losing on the road to what is likely going to be a Top 25 team all season long does not hurt your NCAA hopes. A win gives Iowa an extra boost on the seeding line and indicates very good things may be possible this year, but a loss doesn't keep them out of the tournament.
Iowa's RPI is in much better shape this year than last heading into conference play. Last year Iowa had a bad loss to Va Tech and even more crappy (300+ RPI teams) wins than this year.
