Panthers blast Norse
Northern Iowa rolled to a 110-51 victory over Luther Monday night at home to improve to 8-1 overall and 6-0 at home. Noah Carter paced the Panthers with 25 points off the bench on 10-of-16 shooting including 4-of-8 from 3-point range plus 1-of-1 at the free throw line. He also accounted for eight rebounds. A.J.

College Basketball Betting Trends
Northern Iowa
The Panthers are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games overall. Northern Iowa is 12-3-1 ATS in its last 16 Tuesday games.
Colorado
The Buffaloes are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 home games. Colorado is 0-4 ATS in its last four games following an ATS loss.
Prediction:
The Buffaloes had a couple decent wins to its credit over Arizona State and Clemson prior to being humbled by Kansas. I do think Colorado bounces back strong with a double-digit win here. Northern Iowa did not exactly have the best preparation game coming into this road test and the only top 100 team it has faced was a 60-55 loss to West Virginia on a neutral court. Look for Colorado to play a strong all-around game as it proves worthy of remaining in the top 25 for another week.
