Penn State finally ended their four-game losing streak with a win over the Scarlet Knights. Iowa is 10-2 SU at home but only 6-6 ATS. The Hawkeyes have lost three straight with a -13 point differential during that skid. This still seems like a very short spread for an Iowa team that plays their best at home. The Nittany Lions will be without Puff Johnson tonight but still have five players averaging in double figures. Iowa have one of the worst defenses in the country in defending inside the arc, allowing opponents to shoot 55.8%. Despite losing four of five, the Nittany Lions covered against better teams like Michigan State, on the road, and Oregon.

You know what they call a polar vortex in Iowa? Spring break. The Hawkeyes crushed me with their shocking home loss to Minnesota on Tuesday as I had them wrapped up in two parlays and every leg hit but them -- so they owe me. Penn State has lost four of five and its lone road win is as mid-major Drexel. Nittany Lions guard Puff "the Magic Dragon" Johnson (10.2 PPG, 4.4 RPG) is in doubt after missing the past two.
