The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets head to the Midwest to face off against the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Georgia Tech began the 4-2 season, but their wins have come against questionable competition. Wins against North Alabama, Georgia State, and Clayton won't wow you. Iowa begins the season 5-1, against similar competition. We can't draw too much from what we have seen on the court, so this will be a fascinating ACC/Big Ten clash.
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs. Iowa Hawkeye: Betting Odds
The Iowa Hawkeyes have a couple of studs leading the way. Kris Murray has been nothing short of sensational in the early going. Murray averages 19 points and nine rebounds per outing. Expect Kris Murray to be the 'X' factor in this one, and whether or not Georgia Tech can contain his dominance in the interior will be a deciding factor.
Another player to watch for the Iowa Hawkeyes is floor general Tony Perkins. Perkins averages 13 points per night while leading the Hawkeyes in assists and steals. Look for Tony Perkins to control the action and pace in this one.
Deivon Smith has the tall task of matching Tony Perkins. Smith has developed into one of the most consistent performers for Georgia Tech with 11 points, six rebounds, three assists, and two steals per outing.
Javon Franklin provides a physical presence for the Yellow Jackets. Franklin only scores nine points per night but contributes in other ways, leading the team in rebounds and blocked shots.
