Hawkeyes-Volunteers Betting Preview<br />
</h2>
<p>
No. 10 seed Iowa (23-11 SU, 14-20 ATS) reached Sunday's action by coming from behind to beat No. 7 seed Cincinnati Friday 79-72. The Hawkeyes trailed the Bearcats by 13 points early and by five at the half, but later ended the game with a 24-13 run for the outright win as five-point dogs on the college basketball betting line.

Despite a slow start Iowa ended up shooting 55 percent from the floor Friday and hit 11-for-22 from 3-point range, although it also turned the ball over 14 times.
</p>
<p>
Even with Friday's victory/cover the Hawkeyes are only 2-5 both SU and ATS over their last seven games.

<p>
No. 2 seed Tennessee (30-5 SU, 17-16 ATS) reached Sunday's play by holding off No. 15 seed Colgate Friday 77-70. The Volunteers led the Raiders by 16 points late in the first half, fell down by a bucket midway through the second half but rallied and held on for the win.

However, Tennessee also came up way short of covering the spread as a 17-point favorite.

On the day the Vols shot 47 percent from the field and won the turnover battle 13-8.
