SE Louisiana vs Iowa Prediction & Pick
It's tough to imagine SE Louisiana getting the road win here. Iowa has been close to flawless at Carver-Hawkeye Arena this season, winning 15 of its previous 16 matchups thus far. The Lady Lions, on the other hand, are just .500 on the road, where they carry an average scoring margin of minus-0.7.
Iowa's offense has looked tremendous during its winning streak, averaging 87.3 points. For reference, SE Louis iana has only scored 80-plus points three times this season. Considering how the Hawkeyes own an NCAA-best 50.9% field-goal percentage while the Lady Lions sit at a 40.9% clip (No. 161), the home team won't have issues pulling away.
Look for Iowa to win this one without breaking a sweat.
Final Score Prediction:'Iowa: 91 | SE Louisiana: 60
SE Louisiana vs Iowa Best Bet
For this game's best bet, I'm going with Iowa covering the spread. After all, SE Louisiana's offense is terrible on the road, failing to go over 70 points in 14 of the previous 16 away games. Meanwhile, the Hawkeyes have finished with 80-plus points at home 14 times this season.
After blowing out a strong Ohio State team by 33 points, look for Iowa to have another dominant performance against SE Louisiana.
