Best prop bets in our Iowa vs. Illinois predictions and March Madness picks for Saturday, March 28.
Jason Logan hunts for the best prop bets as the Iowa Hawkeyes take on rival Illinois Fighting Illini on Saturday. The Big Ten has dominated the Big Dance, but one contender will hear the music stop when the Iowa Hawkeyes face the Illinois Fighting Illini in the Elite Eight.
Illinois will want to take the ball out of Stritz’s hands and force Iowa’s other guys to hurt them, much like its defensive approach versus Kingston Flemings and Houston. Stirtz had four assists in the win over Nebraska and five dimes versus Florida. In the only matchup with the Illini in Big Ten play, he finished with six assists and was limited due to foul trouble.He’s the most active member of a methodical half-court offense, forcing defenders to move with him on cuts to the basket. Defending cutters is a soft spot for the Hawkeyes, as is defending dribble jumpers, another area in which Boswell gets buckets. Boswell had 17 points in the first meeting with Iowa in January, and while he scored only six points versus UH, he followed that with 12 and 13 points in the tournament's opening week. in the Sweet 16, but he finished with just two dimes in a game where he was more active as a shooter. I’m going back to the well with this same prop in the Elite Eight, looking at Mirkovic to distribute on the perimeter but also out of the blocks. The Hawkeyes can be exploited by the inside-out game, and the last time Mirkovic faced Iowa, he handed out five helpers. Both of these teams want to play a slower tempo and live in the halfcourt, unlike the frenzied pressure the Cougars threw at Illinois. That allows for cleaner ball movement and Mirkovic to thrive as a passer. Before Thursday, he had recorded three or more assists in four straight games. Elite Eight projections also sit between 2.5 and 3.6 dimes, which offers great value to the Over 2.5 at plus-money.: Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
