Florida vs Iowa prediction, odds

Odds provided by BetMGM, as of 1 p.m., Sunday.

∎ Andrew Abadie, Gainesville Sun: Florida 84, Iowa 73

The storyline of this matchup will be the two contrasting tempos between Iowa and Florida. The Gators play a much faster pace compared to the Hawkeyes. Look for Xaivian Lee and Boogie Fland to have big games as this matchup will be a test for the duo. Even with Iowa playing at a slower tempo, Florida's front court has a clear advantage.

∎ Tyler Tachman, Des Moines Register: Florida 86, Iowa 70

While Iowa has had a solid first season under Ben McCollum, the dream of a deep March run ends here. The Gators are simply too deep and too consistent. The loss to Vandy in the SEC Tournament was a bit of a wake-up call, plus this is essentially a home game for the Gators, since it's being played in Tampa. Expect the reigning champs to come out determined to repeat and send the Hawkeyes home.
