Iowa Hawkeyes vs. West Virginia Mountaineers prediction

The Iowa Hawkeyes are the more dominant program in this matchup. ESPN Bet has this game with the Hawkeyes as a 14.5-point favorite and -2000 odds on the money line. Caitlin Clark is why the Hawkeyes are a top-rated offense. The Mountaineers turn the ball over 15.1 times per game, leading to transition baskets for the opposition.

There is not as much depth in women's college basketball compared to its counterpart. That's why only one team with the worst seed won its first-round game (11th-seeded Middle Tennessee defeated sixth-seeded Louisville). While upsets will always happen with the nature of a single-elimination tournament, do not expect one tonight.

Caitlin Clark is averaging 28.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 11.0 assists and 2.3 steals in her four postseason games (including the Big Ten Tournament). Even if she struggles shooting the ball, she impacts the game the way no one in women's basketball has this season. So expect the Iowa Hawkeyes to cover the spread and advance to the Sweet 16.
