No. 7 Oregon vs. No. 2 Iowa in West Region. I'm a tad apprehensive about picking a Big Ten team to beat a Pac-12 team by more than 5 points considering how good the Pac-12 has been in this tournament and how bad the Big Ten has looked. However, I think it actually hurts Oregon that it was given a walkover in its NCAA Tournament opener vs. VCU, and while the Ducks might be the more athletic team than the Hawkeyes, they don't have a regular who is taller than 6-foot-6, which should mean a huge game for Hawkeyes 6-foot-11 All-American Luka Garza in the paint. The Ducks were destroyed on the boards in their last game, a Pac-12 semifinal loss to Oregon State.

This should be the fastest game on Monday’s schedule as Iowa averages an 85-72 score this season. More importantly, Oregon has picked up the pace, going Over in its last seven games and winning six of them (5-2 ATS). The Ducks lost to a hot Oregon State squad in the Pac-12 tournament and didn’t shoot well but still got the game Over, which is the top play in this game.
