March Madness picks, odds, and predictions for West Virginia Mountaineers vs Iowa Hawkeyes. March Madness free picks and best bet analysis.
Caitlin Clark's final home game for the Iowa Hawkeyes is poised to be a thrilling affair against the West Virginia Mountaineers. Neither team boasts a particularly daunting defense, meaning Clark & Co. could fire away early and often.No. 1 seed Iowa Hawkeyes inched closer to a national title after soundly defeating Holy Cross Saturday afternoon at Carver-Hawkeye Arena 91-65.
They witnessed the highs and lows of a unique program going on a National Championship run, and they watched Clark drain the logo three to break Kelsey Plum’s all-time scoring record. “Ponytail Pete” might grab the headlines, and rightly so, but the Hawkeyes have capable scorers from inside and outside the arc, like Kate Martin, Abbie Marshall, and Hannah Stuelke, who fuel the Hawkeyes' 95-point average at Carver-Hawkeye.
Finally, the Carver-Hawkeye faithful should see a fast-paced, high-scoring affair between one of the highest-scoring women’s programs in history facing a West Virginia group that averages nearly 26 points from turnovers. The Mountaineers defense will have difficulties slowing down the Hawkeyes offense, but its offense can keep up with Iowa. Additionally, the Hawkeyes average 13 miscues per night, so 163.5 points isn’t enough for this one.
Clark has struggled recently from downtown at home, so maybe that’s why the bookies dropped the prop number from its typical 5.5 to 4.5. The all-time scoring leader has failed to clear 4.5 made threes in three of her last five — but she keeps firing, and as long as she does, she has a good chance at clearing the number.
West Virginia went 16-14-1 against the spread in a tough Big 12 Conference and meets an Iowa program with an 18-14 ATS mark. The number could rise against Iowa, and you should grab it if it does. The Mountaineers are a confident team that competes, is used to winning, and won’t lie down for the crowd or the Hawkeyes.
