Chip's 'Highest-Rated' NCAA Money Game Winner
(NCAAB) UNLV vs. Northern Iowa,
Money Line: -105.00 Northern Iowa (Home)
Result: Win
UNLV at Northern Iowa 8:00 ET
Panthers over Rebels- Can it be? Can UNLV return to national prominence? They are 6-0 straight-up and 5-1 ATS playing patsies at home with one away game on a neutral site. Northern Iowa is 3-0 at home and are off a loss to Villanova and this is their first 'lined' game at home. The Rebels appear to have an offensive advantage ranking 9th for offensive field goal percentage and 37% from 3-point range. The problem here is that this is UNLV's first true road game and their shooting percentages will drop against a team that allows just 44.5 points per game at home. These two met in Oklahoma City in the 2010 NCAA tourney with the Panthers winning at the buzzer 69-66. Same result here. Take NORTHERN IOWA!
