Taking NORTHERN IOWA here. Last year, these guys cruised into the tourney at 30-3. A little different this year. But they are playing extremely well winning 12 of their last 13. Missouri Valley is a tough conference. These guys play anyone, anytime. Getting buckets like this the way they play defense. Sign me up. I like Shaka Smart. Did a great job at VCU. And an even better one here in his first year at Texas without 'his' type of guys. Not a great match-up for his Longhorns here. 5* Best Bet NORTHERN IOWA
