as +115 underdogs, the Clemson Tigers will try to get past the Iowa Hawkeyes, who finished their Big 10 campaign with a 1-4 record in their final five games.
Current Form:
The No.8 seed Clemson Tigers will be tested early in the NCAA tournament as they take on the No.9 seed Iowa Hawkeyes in the first round on Friday.
Clemson, who lost to Duke 61-73 in the semifinal of the ACC Tournament, is coming in as a +2.5-point underdog in this 8-9 matchup despite their deep run in the ACC Tournament that saw them dispatch Wake Forest 71-62 and North Carolina 80-79.
Meanwhile, Iowa has lost seven of its last 10 games, including a 69-72 loss to Ohio State in the Big 10 third-round. The Cyclones are playing in a much deeper conference, but their shaky record as of late could leave them vulnerable to a team coached by seasoned mentor Dabo Swinney.

Our Clemson vs Iowa Hawkeyes Prediction
I am taking Clemson at +115 moneyline. The Tigers enter the tournament with moderate expectations, which bodes well for them as they play Iowa with less pressure. Clemson had claimed some really good wins on their way to the semifinals, including the win that prevented a potential UNC-Duke semifinal clash.
Iowa has been on a free-fall since its loss to Maryland 70-77 early February. They are 3-7 in their last 10 matches and 1-4 in their last five. It’s going to be difficult to trust them against an experienced Clemson squad, given the way they finished their Big 10 campaign.
Our betting prediction for the Clemson Tigers vs. the Iowa Hawkeyes: Clemson will win.
