The Iowa Hawkeyes odds to win the 2015 NCAA Championship were coming in at 150-1 at BetDSI.com here.
24 - 11 SU is usually good enough to get most teams in the dance, but they will have to improve their 11 - 7 Conference record to get a better seeding in the tournament. Betting against Texas last year was not the worst thing you could have done, seeing them go 14 - 18 ATS due to the 5 - 9 road numbers when it came to covering the line. Totals were a crap shoot, and this team will vastly need to improve its offensive numbers in every major category after being no better than 234th in the Nation in all shooting categories. It led to a 12 - 14 - 2 O/U clip.
