The Oregon Ducks (18-8, 7-8) take a modest two-game winning streak into Iowa City tonight for a Big Ten tilt against the Iowa Hawkeyes (14-11, 5-9).
This is the first of two straight on the road for the Ducks who knocked off Rutgers and Northwestern at home last week. The Hawkeyes gave up 101 points Sunday at Maryland in suffering their fourth loss in their last five games.
The Hawkeyes are just 3-7 in their last ten games overall. Despite their recent troubles, however, Iowa is a respectable 11-4 at home this season. Oregon is solid on the road at 4-4 for the season. They are 4-6 in their last 10 overall.

Oregon at Iowa Best Bets
NBC Sports Bet Best Bet
Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) is siding with the Ducks: Oregon ML (-120)
“The Ducks made 13 three-pointers against Rutgers and 21 overall in their last two games as the offense has scored 75 and 81 points. That’s good news for Oregon as they go to Iowa, who has struggled mightily on defense. The Hawkeyes have lost four of the past five games and allowed 82 or more points in three of those four losses. Oregon has lost four straight on the road in Big Ten play, but I like this spot for the Ducks to break that losing streak.”
